Alon’s House-Ground Burgers

Homemade BBQ-grilled Burger on Mini Ciabatta

Another visit to Alon’s… and we made another great find.

We were browsing with some interest at a rather nondescript vacuum-sealed package of ground beef.

Three-Cut Ground Beef of Hanger, Chuck, & Brisket

And, one of the […]

SMOKEJACK

Betty invites you in. (One of us loves Betty. Cleary, someone at Smokejack does, too.) We found Smokejack by chance about 2 years ago. We’ve been loving it ever since.

Fried Pickles

We’re not usually fans of fried pickles. But, these were really good. Part […]

Swallow at the Hollow

Ribs, Mac N Cheese, Brunswick Stew & Griddled Biscuit

There’s a lot to love at The Swallow at the Hollow. Set down a quiet side street with a gravel path leading to make-shift parking under the trees, we feel like we’re visiting friendly neighbors. A mountain of chopped wood decorates […]

Fox Brothers BBQ

Smoked Chicken, White BBQ Sauce, Collards, & Cornbread

The only accurate description for this chicken? Perfection. This chicken (yet again) showcases the perfect use of smoke and spice. And, it was cooked to the perfect state of doneness. You know when a piece of chicken is cooked so perfectly it […]

Smokin J’s — Another Visit

We both love these ribs. Seriously. The balance of smoke, tender meaty pork and sauce is right on the money. And, the sauces are some of our favorites. With three sauces (Original, Mustard, and Bold AKA Kansas City Style), there should be a sauce to please just about everyone. But, […]

Pig-N-Chik

For close to ten years, Pig N Chik has been our go-to BBQ spot for a quick meal. And, out of all of those meals, we’ve never been disappointed. Not once. We order the same thing every time… pulled pork and Brunswick stew. Sometimes, we’ll throw in an order of […]

Community Q BBQ

St Louis Style Ribs & Pulled Pork

We can sum up this visit in one sentence. Everything is better. From the ribs and pork to the Brunswick stew and collards, every little bit of our meal was significantly better on this visit. While the ribs and pulled pork might not […]

KC Pit BBQ

Chicken & Ribs Combo with Sweet Potato Casserole

We’ve had dozens of great meals at KC Pit (old location). Sadly, this is the first visit I would label as a disappointment. I’ll be the first to admit that we did arrive at an off time (well after 2pm for lunch). […]

DBA BBQ

DBA Barbecue’s Sweet Potato Fries

We both think these might be the best sweet potato fries in Atlanta. We can’t get enough of them. Crispy on the outside, yet, tender in the middle… yum!

Chock full of meat, this bbq beef brisket chili is hearty […]

Smokin J’s BBQ

St Louis cut ribs and pulled pork

Now open for about two weeks, Smokin J’s dished up this well-prepared plate of St Louis cut ribs and pulled pork. The ribs were a gorgeous shade of pink. They had a great smoky flavor made even better by the carefully charred exterior. […]
