Columbia’s popular Como Smoke and Fire has opened its second location in town.

The readers of Zimmer’s “Inside Columbia” magazine have voted Como Smoke and Fire as the city’s best barbecue. Matt Hawkins, who’s the general manager at Como Smoke and Fire’s north location on Paris road, says the restaurant on south Columbia’s Buttonwood opened earlier this month. It’s in the former Buckingham’s location.

Hawkins tells 939 the Eagle that they’re hired about eight people, and are still hiring at both locations. The restaurants are open from Tuesday through Saturday.
