Tex-Ethiopian Smokehouse honors late owner with free meals

Smoke N’ Ash BBQ in South Arlington is offering free memorial meals to honor co-owner Patrick Hicks, who died in early October. His wife and co-owner, Fasicka Hicks, said the meal will serve people in need and reflect an Orthodox Christian tradition of helping others on the 40th day after a death. Guests can dine in or take food to go.
