That’s because the quaint barbecue restaurant, at 6721 Exchequer Drive, is in the heart of a Baton Rouge commercial business park. You’ll follow the smell of smoked meats past warehouses, glass repair shops, flooring and countertop stores and corporate offices.

It was suburban shopping of the postwar kind: a large cluster of stores on Shreveport-Barksdale Highway, laid out for people who arrived by car. Shreve City kept building after it opened.
