Atlanta's Fat Matt's Rib Shack closed after fire Published September 5, 2017 8:14pm EDT News FOX 5 Atlanta ...

Fat Matt’s Rib Shack. 1811 Piedmont Ave. NE, Atlanta; 404-607-1622, fatmattsribshack.net. Is there a recipe from a metro Atlanta restaurant you’d like to make at home?

Since the collapse, business has been slow here, said Matt Kane, Fat Matt’s nighttime manager. “For the most part, we’ve been dead,” Kane said.

Then, Matt Poirier decided to create his own dry rub and barbecue sauce, which took about a year and a half to get it right, he said. Fast forward to 2020 and Fat Matt’s BBQ food truck hit the map.

At this point, though, it’s not about Fat Matt, it’s about Mitt. The trust-funded bow-tied bum-kissers want to dust him up as he begins running for president again.

Matt revealed to several houseguests that he once struggled with his weight and that, at one point before entering the house, he considered himself to be "really, really fat".
