cleveland style bbq
big win for us all
Without question, this is the absolute best BBQ I have ever had. There never was a "Cleveland Style" of BBQ until now. And Symon did it. And it makes me proud to be a Clevelander. We tried pork ribs, lamb ribs, and brisket. The pork ribs were the star. Perfectly seasoned and smoked. Not swimming in sauce, meaty, fatty, and just flawless. Lamb ribs same thing. The brisket was not too fatty, but moist and full of flavor. The smoke ring was a work of art. An appetizer of cracklings served with "Lawson's dip" was light and completely not greasy. The dip is a Cleveland thing, and it is as close to the real thing as I remember.
The sauce, oh, the sauce..... Made with Bertman's Ballpark Mustard, it is a tangy mustardy concoction that elevates all that it touches. Hell, I was eating it by the spoonful by the end of the meal.
Mabel's BBQ opens without excuses. It will roll from day one. No "getting the kinks out" here. They will crush it.
Carry on, and enjoy the Flavors Of The Cleve.
