Albert G's Barbeque Opening Blue Dome Location

[sgrizzle]

They'll start calling it the BBQ District..   

BlueBQ

[Gaspar]

I thought South Beach Miami was "The Deco District?"

[we vs us]

It's a good sign though that everyone thinks it's the right time to pile into the Blue Dome.   Even if there's no way that all three BBQ joints can survive.

We're changing Brady to Franklin. And there's some folks who want the dome area to be the Chewish District.

You might want to see how PM feels about a Franklin Theater.

Chewish? Ortodox?



or there's something a little less traditional, brings a new connotation to "nice rack":

Uh, refrain from stereotyping your women. I know way toooo much information already.

Phone number?

yeah...the reporter called me and tried to get me to talk about my old warehouse. He said he had "read on the internet" that my old place was turning into a restaurant.

Sure beats them trolling the Tulsa Beacon for news.

albert g's is good stuff... im thrilled to see that building get some use...

oklahoma joes is amazing... i've met joe davidson, helluva nice guy... i lived just down the street from 47th and mission when the site opened there in 1996... we were regulars when we lived in KC... when in KC, we always hit it for a carolina, a slab of ribs and some fries... getting one here is awesome...

if i were thinking of opening a q in tulsa, i'd think again... joe and albert g's will run amok... bbq fans are snobs and can be picky as hell but those two joints will do very favorably...

ive competed locally for 10 years and done the american royal for 5 years... consistency is a grumble...

q is not something you just "start doing"... try as one might, you can have the best meat, rubs and all the servo controlled smoker fans you want and you still may end up making crap...

Yes, in competition your meat can be beat, in spite of best laid plans.

I just phoned Oklahoma Joe's in Kansas City. They told me that Joe Davidson is no longer working with them (though he still has the right to use the name) but that he is indeed the Joe in the name Oklahoma Joe's, that as far as they know he is indeed opening a place in Cain's Ballroom, and that he'll do a great job (which is nice of them considering he is now their rival).

Good to hear! So the real deal is coming home to Oklahoma.  Seems he knows how to do good business and keep his own signature quality intact.  I have an original Oklahoma Joe's smoker and Horizon now builds these and parts for mine.  I believe he sold the Ok Joe's Smoker brand name off to Brinkman (don't buy one of those though).

Not sure who owns Oklahoma Joe's smoker name now, but I can tell you the ones they carry at Weslake's are built in China.  Seems a cruel irony.
