| - For the unacquainted, this is that hole in the wall that a few discover, the word spreads and an empire begins. I've had barbecue all over the world and that of course includes all parts of the United States with all variations being experienced. Barbecue is a very personal experience for the pit master and the customer. You know what you want and you know what's ok, better, good, great, excellent and now JL's (Just Love) Smokehouse. JL as he is affectionately known, is that hidden jewel that has been discovered and is just now starting what will no doubt be, a meteoric rise. This man started with a street stand two hours a day in Scottsdale on weekdays only. His barbecue was so good, the established restaurants banded together and had him pushed out of their town. No matter, as he now has a small unassuming location that is a melting pot of all races and socioeconomic classes eating together with little no talking, just eating. My hubby and I ordered his largest platter with 5 different meats and 3 sides, nothing disappointed and everything was a new experience in what I've been missing in barbecue my entire life! After trying each and every delectable bite of meat, I had to ask, "Will this also be the best I've had?" The answer after each and every new morsel was "Yes!" Famous Dave's is for those who don't realize just what they are missing. JL's is for the lucky few that are now growing, get there at 11:00am right when they open, or they may not have anything left, yes it's that good!
