How many BBQ joints does it take to make a good entrtmnt district?

Depending on the flavor profile of your sauce, whiskey or beer can be used to thin it down (although you might want to cook off some of the alcohol).

That went in early on

The alcohol will impart a nasty bitterness.

It never does that to me, I'm always bitter before I add alcohol. Afterwards I am smooth and mellow.

We use Tequila and beer, but none of it ever actually makes it into the sauce.

There is even a Jack Daniels sauce out there.  Can't have much whiskey in it, though.  Whiskey does add a nice touch, but go lightly - save most of it for ice in a glass.


Went to Albert G's Saturday.  Wow!  This is the place in Tulsa we have been looking for.  Ribs are very good (still not quite Black Jaxx, but since his store closed, what can be done...)....well, everything was very good.  Tabouli is much better than average according to SWMBO.  Good to find!  Will be doing this much more!!

Finished the leftovers this evening, and they held up exceptionally well.  Still as enjoyable as Saturday!  Yay!!

I was working all weekend so I got a couple of pounds of pulled pork from Elmer's on Friday. I use good storage containers and the kids can make sandwiches for three or four days without making a mess.

I like Elmer's BBQ pulled pork the best. Blake at Joe Momma's does a good job with pulled pork too. My kids love his bbq pizza.

weeks?  It's down to the finishing touches, and getting approval on a few things. Kitchen equipment was delivered last week.

I had a Pulled Pork Parfait this weekend that was pretty good.

Saw on facebook they are now open.  Anybody been?  Whats the setup?  Do they have a pitboss doing the cooking on site or is it brought in from another location?  Is it dry rub?

It needs a little work, especially on the music and events pages about the groups coming to play. I can't quite make out the language.

Just teething problems I know, but you would hope for something better when they made it live.

It's done on site, I understand that it's got a dry rub.  I got some ribs the other day and I'll say that the sauce is pretty tastey.  It's not that super sweet stuff like at most places.  Haven't had the chance to try any of what is being officially being served yet.

They have a pitboss and a smoker that holds 5,000 pounds of meat. The pitboss is also the winner of the bean competition.

It is dry rub, there is no sauce on the table. I went on a preview day as well as today for lunch. The Back Alley Beatdown is a marvel (brisket, bologna, hot link, pulled pork, coleslaw all on a bun). The Chicken Club sandwich includes candied bacon and fried green tomatoes amongst other toppings. The beans are drip beans, meaning they are smoked with drippings and meat in them. I'll gladly eat their $8 sandwich over Dilly Deli's.

The wife & I enjoyed dinner last night.  Had ribs, corn on the cob, fried green tomatoes & mac n cheese.  Everything was good.  Mac n cheese was only item I wouldn't order again.  It's homestyle mac n cheese and I bet they'll tweak it. 

Service was great.  As good or better than any table service I've received in the Blue Dome.

Atmosphere was solid.  It will be interesting once they are dine with patio and add live music.
