I am a stingy stingy stingy about my BBQ because my parents are from the south and they made the good stuff at home. In general the BBQ in Arizona has been really lacking and I only visit a few places. I get people that tell me all the time that this place is really good, or that place, or oh this is the best I've ever had. Most of the time I am very disappointed. A BBQ place in downtown Scottsdale was a bit surprising to me but I had to give it a shot. The smoke smell was bellowing out of the restaurant and we made a beeline for it.
The menu was expansive and everything looked good. The appetizers had brisket chili, wings, and a bacon board. Did I just write bacon board?? Yep...the couple next to me got it and it looked amazing. The bartender agreed that it is ridiculously good but I will be trying that on another visit. I decided to go with the short rib because it had a sweet Dr. Pepper sauce. It was highly recommend that I try the macaroni and cheese as my side. Let me tell that I am finally happy with the "smoke." The smoke is good y'all.
The inside joke about the "smoke" is that I stopped and talked to the manager and I told him about my Que dilemma in Arizona which was turned around tonight. We both agreed that good smoke is....good smoke and they've got good smoke. Get you some good smoke.
