For a while there it looked like Jammin Joe's was really jamming. After opening a barbecue joint in West City Park last summer, Joe Van Dyke recently opened a second location at 4272 South Broadway, and right after that a third restaurant in Wheat Ridge. While the South Broadway spot closed almost as quickly as it opened (problems with the building), the Jammin Joe's on West 44th Avenue, where it shares a kitchen with the 44th Avenue Grill, is going strong. We sent photographer Brandon Marshall to take a look at this smokin' new joint in a former 7-Eleven, of all places.
