Punk's Backyard Grill
Punk's Backyard Grill was a contemporary version of the classic American backyard cookout. Formerly open at the Westfield Annapolis Mall in Annapolis, Maryland, Punk's Backyard Grill is a fast casual style restaurant, with counter ordering and food runners and bussers. The restaurant had a full liquor license, serving beer, wine, and specialty cocktails.[1] The menu was created by Dean Maupin, currently the executive chef at the Clifton Inn in Charlottesville, VA. Dean was trained during a four-year apprenticeship at the esteemed Greenbrier Hotel.[2]
