Surprise! Popular Pitmaster Secretly Opens New Bergen County Location

He's back.

Popular area pitmaster Robert Austin Cho, that is.

Nearly a year after closing his Westwood eatery, Cho has secretly opened his new venture: Austin Cho Kitchen.

It's a takeout only spot that he likened to a "fully equipped stationary food truck" in Downtown Hackensack.

Cho, known for his Korean-Texas barbecue, on July 2 announced a soft opening only to his loyal followers on Instagram.

"We didn’t list on Google or Yelp. No press release," he said.

ACK, 163 B Main St., Hackensack.
