| - I really try to find something positive to say about any locally owned place I eat, but this place was really, really bad.
i had the namesake sandwich. the meat was served without sauce - dry and slightly tough. adequately cooked, but bland - no flavor.
the bleu cheese slaw was soggy, and also relatively flavorless. there was barely a hint of bleu cheese there - it is very hard to mask such an assertive flavor, but these guys seem to have done it completely.
after a bite or two to sample the meat sauceless, i thought i drenched the sandwich in sauce. but aside from a slight dampness and a whisper of tomato, the sauce was barely there. i ended up soaking every bite to try and get an idea for what the sauce tasted like, but i all i could get was a very, very mild, tomato-y thing. this was the spicy sauce, mind you.
the sides i sampled seemed store-bought, especially the potato salad, which was more like hard-boiled egg salad with the occasional potato.
the roll was good. but it was a waste of a good roll.
barbeque is about assertive, bold flavors - regardless of region. notorious p.i.g. has completely failed on that front. maybe they toned down their recipes for the general public?
