Paul Schutt, former chef at Work Options for Women, just opened Tin Star Smokehouse in the space vacated by Chia's Breakfast & Lunch Counter at 16400 South Golden Road in Golden. Not coincidentally, Paul's brother, Andrew Schutt, owns Tin Star Cafe & Donut House in Evergreen -- another barbecue joint that also serves some killer doughnuts. Paul and his crew are smoking all their meat in-house, and from the looks of it, he could be giving his brother a run for his money...if not his doughnuts. Westword's Danielle Lirette stopped by Tin Star Smokehouse yesterday and brought back these photos.

Tin Star Smokehouse is now open Monday through Saturday, from 10:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.; check the restaurant's Facebook page for updates on specials.
