| - I learned about Liberty Station on Food Network's new show - Eat, Sleep, BBQ. They showcased the Smoked Pork Bucatini and the Tavern Burger. Both looked so good that I told hubbyand about it. He loves BBQ, but he's not as picky as I am. I want FLAVOR. I don't want just fatty, flavorless meat. But that bucatini and the burger both liked amazing, so we decided to check it out.
I made a reservation and requested an outside table. We arrived about 10 minutes before our reservation, but were seated immediately. At first I was a little concerned that it might be chilly outdoors as the sun set, but the area we were seated was nicely enclosed so it kept any breeze at bay.
Our waiter, who was excellent, had us salivating over the prime rib special, but I had my mind set on the burger. And as soon as I ordered it, hubby decided he had to try the bucatini. We also ordered a side of cornbread.
Now I'll start with the cornbread. It was good, but didn't have as much flavor as I would have liked. Didn't stop us from eating all if it though.
The Tavern Burger was ahhh-amazing! The burger was cooked perfectly. The pulled pork was so flavorful, and any time some slipped off the burger onto my plate, I immediately grabbed my fork and scooped it up. I was not letting any of it get away. And if that wasn't enough, the lemonade pickles just topped it off perfectly. The flavor was inexplicable, but went to well with the pork and beef. Kudos to the creator of those!
And the bucatini....O M G! The smell alone was divine, but the taste....perfection! The broth was so good tha t I started dunking my fries in it. My half-Italian, bbq loving hubby hada never had anything like it, but andI before we were even halfway through dinner, he was already declaring that we would be back.
So if you want real BBQ, with tons of flavor - Liberty Station is the place you need to go!
