(Newswire.net — April 14, 2013)  Washington, DC — On March 21, 2013 during the dinner service, smoke slowly began to seep into the dining room. General Manager Darrett Gorham said, “Around 6:00 pm we noticed just a little smoke and quickly alerted and evacuated all customers and employees.  Initially we thought the smoke may have been originating from the portable electric heater that had just been turned on, but later realized the point of origin was the mulch bed on the exterior of the private dining room.” The Waldorf Volunteer Fire Department promptly responded and efficiently eradicated the smoldering bed where the flames ignited and eventually progressed up the exterior wall. Red Hot & Blue owner of both the Annapolis and Waldorf, MD, Chris Keller assessed the damage and was able to put a positive spin on the event. “We were able to expand our seating capacity with renovation after the fire. New carpet, floor coverings, paint and interior improvements were installed. Since the fire only affected the exterior wall of the private dining area, we were able to continue business as usual in the main dining room the next day.” Closed early on March 21st this bbq and grilling operation opened during regular hours the following day.

Red Hot & Blue is a full-service, BBQ Grill restaurant chain and catering services in the greater DC area featuring award-winning Memphis-style hickory-smoked bbq, ribs, chicken, beef brisket and seafood accompanied by legendary and contemporary blues music and a large dose of Southern hospitality in a fun, casual dining environment. The company was founded in Arlington, Virginia in 1988 by three true Southerners and a transplanted “Yankee” (including three politicians from Tennessee) who could not find barbecue in Washington DC to their home cooked taste. Red Hot & Blue’s BBQ Grilling is celebrating its 25th Anniversary this year with birthday parties, special promotions and discounts on the 25th day of the month through October 2013.
