BBQ is not something I grew up with. In my old neck of the woods something like Goulash, Wiener Schnitzel or Apfelstrudel are the more traditional favorites I am accustomed to. Having been in the US for quite a while naturally I have become to love Barbecue however by all means I am no BBQ-Expert.
The recent Scottsdale BBQ Co-Experience was the direct result of a business lunch invite. So I really did not pay attention to the price/value aspect.
I got to try the Chicken, Pork and Beef accompanied by what I deem a mild and moderately spicy barbecue sauce. Personally I liked the pulled pork the best, as a close second follows the BBQ ribs and the Chicken. The Pork and Chicken was moist and tender. The ribs did not quite fall of the bone but at the same time tender enough to manage keeping the barbecue sauce of my shirt.
Cornbread is not amongst my favorite (perhaps KFC got something to do with it), however Scottsdale BBQ Co's version of Cornbread was great and now I am getting the concept. It almost had a moist, cake-like texture with whole kernels, sweet, yet it had a hint of spiciness .
On a side note, the selection of iced tea was a pleasant surprise. There was traditional iced tea, mango-flavored green tea, southern sweet tea and a pretty darn good lemonade. Struck by ice cream store syndrome I decided to make an "Arnold-Palmer-Suicide". Shockingly tasty and refreshing.
If you decide to give Scottsdale BBQ Co a try then it wouldn't hurt to bring your bib.
This was definitely not the last time I had barbecue there...
