| - The plan was to park, run in, order takeout, and carry on with my day.
Which I did.
But it was exiting Holy Smoke, and climbing into my vehicle, that I started reflecting on the previous few minutes a bit more deeply than any other takeout purchase in recent memory.
Something simple had made an impression before I had taken a bite. And simply put, it was the smokey aroma that greets you when you walk through the door.
I realized that a lot of my favorite things and places are associated with that smokey slow cooking... and when I stopped daydreaming, and got down to eating, Holy Smoke definitely didn't disapoint.
The real-deal briskette was made better by my choice in sauces (which I will eventually try all). And the fact that I could taste the meat with as little, or as much, sauce as I choose.
The beans, coleslaw, and potato salad sides all have the 'homemade" authenticity I like.
And I also appreciate the buck-a-bone ribs. You can top off the meal with a few of these, just to get your fix.
This place is well worth a visit. I know I'll hit it every time I'm in the area.
