On this first day of spring with the snow flying and a fire glowing in the fireplace as the Bird and I began watching Jesus of Nazareth to begin Holy Week it wasn't too soon when thoughts of dinner were brought up. We both agreed that we did not want to venture out nor cook anything ourselves so delivery options were discussed. I pulled up Yelp and came across Smoq Pit BBQ. COMFORT FOOD! When I read that they delivered our excitement grew. We explored the menu and I called to place our orders. After confirming that we were within the 5 mile delivery area I continued to order. I went with the 2 meat option and chose the brisket and half rack ofSt. Louis. This came with two sides but I just asked for a double order of coleslaw. The person who took my order was very patient, Dana or Diane I believe, and suggested I sample all of the sauces. The Bird ordered a special sandwich that had brisket and coleslaw. Her side was the Mac and cheese but also ordered the corn bread and bread pudding. We were told we could pay with debit card and that it would be 45-60 min.
Ding Dong....40 minutes later the food arrived. A good sign was that the bag was heavy. When pulling out the containers we were both pleased that everything was larger than expected. The sides were normal.
The ribs were excellent. I did not need a knife as everything was easily pulled from the bones. Of the three sauces, tangy (mustard), sweet bbq, or spicy bbq I liked the sweet the best whereas The Bird liked the Spicy. They were all very good. The brisket was above par as well. My coleslaw, which is a vinegar based, was not my favorite ...at first. I was going to abandon it until I poured the tangy sauce in it and mixed it up. It tasted like the two belonged together. The Bird liked her Mac & Cheese and said the Corn Bread was excellent. She only had a small piece of the bourbon bread pudding. She loved it. She could not eat all of the Bread Pudding as she did finish the giant sandwich. It was too big for her so she had to remove the top bun and eat it open faced.
We both agreed that the Smoq Pit will be part of our delivery options this summer.
