| - Ok, so let it be know that I'm reviewing this as a transplanted Southerner just looking for my fix. So, I'm comparing this to the best Southern BBQ I've had...Dreamland Tuscaloosa Alabama, Tired Texan (RIP) Birmingham Alabama and Saw's BBQ Bham AL.
That said, I'm not expecting miracles here. But I am expecting something close.
Pulled Pork Sandwich with Fries - Fries were fine, but who cares? Sandwich thoughts...Egg bun is fine for burgers, but wrong here. Added extra taste that got in the way. Slaw is fine. That's a NC thing and I do it myself. Whole grain mustard was wrong and totally mucked up the flavor. Sauce, typical. Nothing special. Pork, burnt. Smokey no doubt, but with that sharp burnt edge that's not ok. Probably cooked too fast. Burnt crust mixed with perfectly fine interior meat ruined it.
For a meal in Toronto, 3 Stars.
Replicating true Southern BBQ, 2 Stars.
