BBQ
Re: BBQ
I prefer Carolina's coleslaw.
The sauce isn't for me. Too watery.
And Texas with no sauce just can be too dry, even if their meat is tender.
Give me a lighter touch than standard amount of the molasses, apple juice, brown sugar, paprika/cayenne and celery seed based sauces - that's KC style without a slather.

Gates is more pepper-y or even spicy.
And the greatest sauce ever made.

Have we fallen into a mesmerized state that makes us accept as inevitable that which is inferior or detrimental, as though having lost the will or the vision to demand that which is good?
Re: BBQ
I have met several folks recently who are turned off to Gates for some reason. I haven't been there in a while, are they as surly and expensive now? That is the gist of it. Joe's on the other hand is getting raves. I think it is likely marketplace comfort.
Re: BBQ
I had the worst burnt end sammich ever at the Gates on State Line. Haven't been back since. Brobeck's is way better and in the same hood. I do like Gates sauce and always have some on hand.
Defense. Rebounds.

Re: BBQ
Chicago BBQ typically = A lot of not very good places that people love. Tomorrow our company is feeding all the employees Robinsons. Robinsons is known for their ribs. Meanwhile, they are not feeding us ribs.

Re: BBQ
That Gates on State can be sketchy AF.
In the mid 90s, we were there right as a guy got his forehead canoed by some other guy with a .45 at that pond across the street
Re: BBQ
So I’m not a fan of souvenir type stuff. I particularly don’t like wearing stuff that’s a blatant advertisement for some brand. “Eat at Smokin’ Yards BBQ Trademark” no thanks.
With that said, I do like a good design. A logo or symbol or something creative and clever that has a little more thought put into it than your average shameless marketing pitch.
So when I stopped by Smokin’ Yards on my way to the airport and saw this hat, I actually wanted it. No ad pitch, no text, just a simplified pig nose sort of design that sorta becomes something within itself. Or something more than itself? Or something.
Besides, I’ve already done enough advertising for Smokin’ Yards in this thread. Little hole in the wall joint with solid bbq that manages to feel like something authentic, despite being smack dab in the middle of yall’s Colorado new money tourist trap I70 corridor.
Brisket sammich and fries on special. Delish! Brisket was juicy and tender, perfectly toasted hoagie bun, heaping portion of fresh crispy fries. Also had to get a side of their southern style green beans, with the big chunks of pork in em. So good I might have to stop and get it on my way back from the airport too.
The hat itself came in two different colors. There was an earth-tone-y brown and green one, but go figure I opted for the crimson and blue instead.
Anywho, here’s me wearing my new hat in front of the beautiful, clean, clear, cold, clean, clear, beautiful waters of Michigan.
Is that your boat out there, Michhawk?

Re: BBQ
I used to have a hat from a cool little place outside Lolo Montana. The Lumberjack Saloon...great hat, nice fit, forest camo. good logo. In very small writing on the back right side it said "Save a Tree, Eat a Beaver" - small enough you really has to try to see it and read it. Until I had that hat, I had no idea how many people actually read what's written on hats......
