For any new catering business, winning over potential clients can be a tough slog while word-of-mouth praise gathers.

But that Mr. Bacon is a clever one.

Mr. Bacon BBQ, a new catering group in Lawrence run by Jeff and Valery Frye, has teamed up with Conroy’s Pub to get its food out there with occasional barbecue nights. The first night was Oct. 28 at the pub, 3115 W. Sixth St., where diners got an exclusive taste of Mr. Bacon’s wares — smoked meats, desserts and various appetizers and desserts.

The second Mr. Bacon BBQ Night is this Friday (Nov. 11) with more dates to follow. The menu is available starting at 5 p.m. and lasting until the meat runs out or 9 p.m., whichever comes first.
