Review: smoQ

February 9, 2011

As the wife of an Alabamian, I know that occasionally The Better Half will get a barbecue craving.  It’s okay. It’s a darn good thing that I like barbecue, because after we went to smoQ the first time, less than two weeks later he wanted to go again.  And, in fact, we liked it so [...]

Review: Walt’s Barbecue

March 3, 2010

We haven’t done a barbecue revue review around here in a while, have we?  I’ve actually covered Walt’s before– well, actually, Kasmira did– but I figured at some point, I’d have to go myself.  Our friend Ed suggested Walt’s for the Happy Mouth Supper Club, so we gladly went along. For background, Terry considers himself [...]

Barbecue…must have barbecue…

April 8, 2009

(A cry for help from The Boyfriend) I’m so excited. And I just can’t hide it. I’m about to lose control…and you know what?   I think I like it. (Ed. Note: Yeah, he went there.) In just a little more than a week, Julie and I are heading to Memphis for a long weekend.  [...]

Barbecue…with a side of humble pie

March 4, 2009

(Guest post by The Boyfriend) On his old Emeril Live show on Food Network, Emeril Lagasse quipped regularly that he wished that someone had invented “smellavision”.  As the audience ooooh-ed and aaaaah-ed over whatever he was cooking, he would lament that video images couldn’t capture the magical aromas and tastes that he was creating. I [...]

Reviews Revisited: Bootsy’s, Pit to Plate, Lavomatic

February 10, 2009

Bootsy’s– I’ve been there twice (!) since my first review, and had a great time both times. No pictures– but I tried their Cocas Catalan, which is flatbread with an apple compote on top. Very, very good. Terry liked the pork belly, but was disappointed by the lack of beer on tap. We did do [...]

Review: Casa Rio and County Line, San Antonio, TX

December 15, 2008

Barbecue and Tex-Mex, what else are you going to eat in San Antonio? The problem with San Antonio is that in their tourist information, all they do is talk about how great the Riverwalk is, how you don’t need a car, you can walk everywhere, etcetera, etcetera.  WRONG. The Riverwalk is pretty, but with the [...]

Review: Landen Smokehouse

September 12, 2008

I have a confession to make. Terry doesn’t know. He’s going to be so hurt. I cheated on him today. I ate barbecue without him. My coworker Steve and I didn’t know what we wanted for lunch. Mason is, at lunchtime, both a madhouse and chain central. As we walked towards the elevator, we ran [...]

Review: Pit to Plate

September 9, 2008

Well, hallelujah. Pit to Plate doesn’t disappoint. Terry and I, after spending a ton of time talking to Terry Lee over at Outside about barbecue, decided that we absolutely, positively, NEEDED to get barbecue right then. Terry Lee sent us off, telling us to report back on the “Q”. So we did. I love Saturdays. [...]
