Oh, Atlanta! (Notes on 13 Brunswick Stews)
Wednesday, December 31 @ 14:52:44 PST by Scott |  
About a year ago, I had two days in Atlanta, a rental car, and a list of tips on where to find the best Brunswick stew. Here are some brief notes and photos from the trip. On to the food...

DFW Quest for 'Cue (Part 15)
Thursday, November 10 @ 20:47:58 PST by Scott | 
The southward exploration continues. If Lancaster is the north-south axis of South Dallas barbecue, Illinois may be the east-west. Three of the barbecue joints I was looking for appeared to be closed--two of them for good. One of them had been recently replaced by a new operation, J&B BBQ. A fourth, Daniel’s Barbecue, was exactly where it was supposed to be. On to the food...

DFW Quest for 'Cue (Part 14)
Tuesday, October 25 @ 20:19:20 PDT by Scott | 
I remember passing a couple of barbecue joints back when I stumbled across Walker’s on Malcolm X Boulevard last year. When I finally returned to the area for further exploration, I saw that both (including the one above) were no longer in business. When I stepped into a barber shop nearby to confirm that one of them was closed for good (since there were still furnishings and fixtures inside), I was told that, yes, it was closed, but that Hardeman’s, nearby on Martin Luther King, was better anyway. So that’s where I headed. Also in the Fair Park area is Two Podners, to which I also paid a visit. On to the food...

DFW Quest for 'Cue (Part 13)

I had hoped that Singleton Boulevard would offer as many new barbecue opportunities as South Lancaster had. But a couple of the places that used to operate along there were no longer in business, leaving only Odom’s Barbeque. Since I found myself east of Dallas one afternoon, I’ve also included Mesquite Bar-B-Que, even though it breaks the southward focus. On to the food...

DFW Quest for 'Cue (Part 12)
Thursday, September 22 @ 19:05:58 PDT by Scott | 
This week’s report takes us farther down South Lancaster to another pair of barbecue joints. The first of the two, TD’s BBQ, is similar in style to the ones described last week--all-wood and African-American owned and operated. The second, Big Bruce’s Bar-B-Que...isn’t. On to the food...

DFW Quest for 'Cue (Part 11)
Thursday, September 15 @ 22:04:04 PDT by Scott | 
South Lancaster Road appeared to be a fertile stretch for barbecue based on some of my research. And while some of that information proved to be out of date, the conclusion wasn’t far off the mark. A trio of barbecue joints lies along the southbound lanes of Lancaster, with a fourth much farther down. The first two, heading south, were Record’s Old Fashioned Bar-B-Que and Hardeman’s Bar-B-Q.

I’d heard about Smokey Joe’s from a reliable Chowhound many months ago. After a long (but industrious) delay, I finally headed south to give them a try. On the way, I happened across H&J BBQ. On to the food...

DFW Quest for 'Cue (Part 9)
Thursday, August 25 @ 22:51:24 PDT by Scott | 
My vacation from Dallas barbecue stretched longer than I’d expected. But hope and duty call, so it’s back to the salt mines. I have limited hopes for great barbecue in the northern suburbs, where gas-pit chains appear to dominate the market. So, for the next little while, I’ll be working my way south. This report takes us to BW’s BBQ and Baby Back Shak. On to the food...

KC2: We're not in Kansas anymore
Monday, August 01 @ 19:33:13 PDT by Scott | 
When people talk about Kansas City barbecue, they almost always mean Kansas City, Missouri. And though I wanted to give the Kansas side of the border a fair shake, I was eager for the Missourians to show me what they could do. I visited some of the most legendary joints in the city, as well as less-known places with strong reputations among knowledgeable locals. On to the food...

Appendix: ''Burnt ends'' in Texas?
Monday, August 01 @ 18:51:56 PDT by Scott | So what had I hoped for from KC burnt ends? Something along the lines of the burnt ends pictured in ExtraMSG’s article, I suppose. But, just out of curiosity, I decided to head down to Lockhart and Luling the week after I got back from Kansas City. You won’t see burnt ends on the menu boards there. But they do cook brisket and those briskets do have ends. If you request an end cut of brisket, it’ll get you in the ballpark of “burnt ends.”
