March 4, 2021 — 5:25am Text size Copy shortlink: It's five of the happiest words in the English language: "We're opening a new restaurant," said Jordan Smith, chef/owner of Black Sheep Pizza (three Twin Cities locations, blacksheeppizza.com). Technically, he's reviving an old one, his StormKing Barbecue. The short-lived passion project opened in 2017 and ran for about a year at 26th and Nicollet in south Minneapolis, adjacent to Black Sheep's Eat Street location. "I did not want to close that restaurant," said Smith. "We never lost money, we just didn't make any money."
