| - A dive BBQ joint in a dive bar. Be still my beating heart.
Cody Smokin' Barbecue is on Industrial Rd, that weird labyrinth of strip clubs, body shops, and government housing. Not the most endearing place to visit, but as my hero Anthony Bourdain says, "travel is about the gorgeous feeling of teetering in the unknown".
It's always a good sign of BBQ place when there are giant meat smokers outside of the venue. I asked the fella working these black evil looking contraptions, what he was cooking... "Brisket, pork, chicken". Pleased with this no bullshit answer I walked inside and immediately ordered the "Bucket" and a pulled pork sandwich.
"The Bucket" should be illegal. I mean only an ex-con could think to pack this much evil goodness in such a small container. Layers of meat, mac n' cheese, and complex carbs, yumm. These treats are one hundred percent customizable and I myself created the Brisket, Mac n' Cheese, Baked bean Bucket. If you're hungry or just "peckish", this is a must order.
I only had a few bites of the pulled pork sandwich, but I'm sure I could kill an entire trough of this if dared. Juicy, flavorful, and melt-in-your-mouth tender, seriously amazing.
Eating in a dive bar isn't ideal because of the cigarette smoke, but the food here is totally worth it.
