In a town that is seriously lacking BBQ it's nice that we have Phil's because it is really quite tasty. I'm incredibly disappointed that it doesn't live up to what I want it to be.
I hadn't eaten Phil's for 4+ years until last night and now recall the two reasons I stopped going there.
1. when they got hit by the Pimp my Restaurant thing the burners were changed and the food tastes like natural gas.
2. MSG - I was up half the night and have spent the entire day in an MSG anxiety/heart rate attack.
I guess the next BBQ chicken I have will be from NYC if not the South itself.
