BBQ Joint Launched By Food Network Star Expanding To Bucks Co.

The Lucky Well, a barbecue restaurant launched in 2012 by Food Network star and restauranteur Chad Rosenthal, is expanding to Bucks County this summer.

The Lucky Well, which has an existing location in Ambler, Montgomery County, is one of two new restaurants opening this year at the Shops At Valley Square in Warrington.

The Lucky Well, which serves Memphis-style barbecue, will take over the 5,000-square-foot space previously occupied by Carmel Kitchen, according to BucksLocalNews.com. It will open this summer, the report said.

If you've never been, the restaurant serves up "creative, seasonal comfort food" and offers a full-service whiskey bar in a live blues lounge, according to its website. "The bar at The Lucky Well features a top-shelf whiskey collection, which compliment the flavors coming out of the kitchen, along with craft-brewed beers and scratch-made classic cocktails."

According to his bio, Rosenthal was featured on Season 9 of Food Network Star and returned as a "Fan Favorite" during Season 10. He was also a finalist on Chopped Grill Masters Napa

In addition to The Lucky Well, Saladworks will be opening this year at the shopping center located of Rt. 611.

Restaurants already operating in the Shops At Valley Square include Bar Louie, The Melting Pot, Panera, Chipotle and P.F. Chang's. In total, the shopping center has 203,953 square-feet of retail and restaurant space.
