Albert G's Barbeque Opening Blue Dome Location

[DowntownDan]

This is exciting news.  Not only is is great barbeque but it's renovating one of the warehouses next to McNellie's.  Great addition.  It will be nice to have barbeque options downtown with Back Alley opening nearby.

Also, Oklahoma Joe's will be going in next to Cain's  (Bob's location).  We will be a BBQ town yet.  Strange to think it took so long.  A friend of mine is an instructor for the UNLV band and he called when he found out that UNLV would be playing here in Tulsa.  He asked me where they should go for BBQ and I wasn't sure what to tell him.  I tried to offer some other options - this town excels in both pizza and sushi..., but he said they had plenty of Italians and Japanese in Las Vegas and they want BBQ.  My best suggestion was to order out a feast from Albert G's.  Moral of the story is that BBQ venues downtown can't come soon enough, they are expected from a city in this part of the country.

Hickory rules! The country will one day figure out which state produces the best chew! All hail Gawey's Albert G's!!!!

To be honest I'm not sure how big a market for BBQ downtown might actually represent, but if someone's gonna remodel a formerly derelict building and add to the activity down there during lunches and dinners, I'll come down for some pulled pork at least once.

Us Southies will go to great distances for good chew! Too bad there's so many bothersome drunks hanging around downtown.....

The way I figure it, this is really good news for the next business who wants to move in here.

What business would that be? I see OKC just got a new 320,000 square foot triple A tenant. Boeing!

I am certain the Chamber will introduce all potential candidates to our premier Downtown, quality air, honest police force, and open carry over golf courses and eateries. And how about our school system! We can compete with any other municipality in the region.

The ONLY reason I could see for Albert G's not being successful there is that the back alley place and Oklahoma Joe's (they have some of the best Q in the country) will have already been up and running for a while.  I think it would be a mistake to underestimate the meat gorging market of Tulsa and its visitors.  We seem to be attracting more BBQ contest activity recently.  I think its time for Tulsa to have some identity in the BBQ world just like KC, Memphis, Austin, etc.

Rib Crib is also going to open a BBQ place in the Blue Dome.

It will be great to have three BBQ places within three blocks. I think that we need just a couple of more restaurants to make this area THE PLACE to go to eat downtown.

I'm still working up the over under on the amount of time before this incarnation gets the 'big red admin button'.

While I like to see new things opening downtown I have to say that I would rather eat out of the dumpster behind Orpha's than eat anything at Rib Crib.

You must not be aware that "chew" as a euphemism for barbeque started as an epithet toward our colored brethren or you wouldn't use it.  It stems from making fun of their dialect: "I gots to get me some babachew".

One of two things, it makes you look like either a racist or a hillbilly who really knows nothing about real barbeque.

And yes Albert G's is the "stuff".  Chuck does a great job.  (See I can name-drop too  )
