| - Sweet baby Jesus, y'all. The south has risen again!...in Calgary?
The delicious aroma permeating this unassuming bit of SE business park transported me back to my time in Tuscaloosa. My mouth was watering the entire time I stood in that line (although there were plenty of customers, it was moving at a good pace) contemplating the menu. The fact that I was the only female present out of the ~40 customers inside and eating outside gave me high hopes that I was going to get tasty, messy, abso-frickin-delicious bbq.
Everything on their menu looked good. My coworker I hold in very high regard when it comes to matters of the tastebuds approved of my selection:
- Pulled pork (reg): safety. It's never failed me yet, and it didn't disappoint this time either. The flavor of my hefty stack of meat was good, but it needed the sauces I liberally applied to make it juicy enough for my taste. (Wow, talk about food porn...)
- Coleslaw: I'm usually not a coleslaw person, but it looked to be the fan favorite based on my incredibly obvious lascivious stares at the trays of diners eating inside. It was fresh and homemade, lightly dressed and absolutely delicious piled on top of the sandwich as a nice balance to the pork.
- Sweet tea: this may sound horrible, but I really wanted their sweet tea to fail so I could continue to safely and confidently assert that no one but southern mommas truly knew how to make good sweet tea. Honestly, it was pretty damn good, the best I've had outside of a state that was part of the confederacy.If only Calgary had balmier summer nights and more porch swings...
I plan on going here again except on an emptier stomach and longer time frame to savor a manwich (not THAT kind of manwich!) or maybe their brisket and a few pork ribs. Best bbq I've yet had in Calgary!
