BBQ PING!....................
Happy BBQ Day!
Growing up in eastern Iowa, we had a combo of St Louis style, and Kansas city. For pork, I prefer that. For beef, Texas style.
The Best Bar B que in the world comes from Ridgewood BBQ near Elizabehton Tennessee
One day over the Christmas holidays, myt family visited Ridgewood for lunch. It is not a large restaurant but is always crowded.
We saw the sheriff show up outside then the rescue squad and then an ambulance. There was a commotion at a near by table. They loaded an elderly gentlemen onto a gurney and left the scene. His wife rode along. The guy had a heart attack
But there was something strange. A fiftyish man and woman remained at the table and undeterred and ate their BBQ.
Hey!....... it’s Ridgewood. The best BBQ in the world.
For the record, the next best and nearly equal is Cooper’s Old Time BBQ in Llano Texas.
Both are off the beaten path so you have to actually go there. Neither is really on the way somewhere else
Beau made this on the grill last night for supper. SUPERB! Not true BBQ, but a Keeper Recipe for sure:
Grilled Turkey Tenderloin with Brown Sugar & Whole Grain Mustard
I did my part today at Hurtado’s in Texas. Pork belly burnt ends, Poblano/Oaxaca smoked sausage, and the best, moist and tender brisket you’ll find. No sauce needed. Ever. And the proprietor is the nicest guy.
