Not sure who taught these 'restauranteurs' the art of BBQ ? This was my second attempt. Not a fan. Dried overcooked brisket. Pulled pork that barely was luke warm. Ribs that tasted like a chemical -- I can only guess it had something to do with the wood they used in the smoker. Our cornbread was do dry it fell apart in a crumby mess. The sauces are not bad and for commercial potato salad and slaw they too are ok. Save your money for Black dog.
