In talking about my BBQ hobby, my peers at work told me I just had to visit the Barby Barn for chicken and ribs. It's SOOO good ... blah, blah, blah.
I went today and ordered side ribs and a 1/4 chicken (breast). They didn't have back ribs, pulled pork or brisket on the menu. The ribs were whole (not trimmed to Kansas city or St. Louis style) and seperated, membrane on. They seemed quickly cooked (I was wondering if they were boiled) then briefly grilled because fat had not rendered. Covered in a molasses type sauce. The chicken wasn't bad but quite dry. The meal came with fries and a side of sauce too. It tasted exactly like watered down canned tomatoe soup with a little vinegar and sugar in it.
Cost near $30 with a beverage.
I think those were the worst ribs I've had at a restaurant. Man, people just don't know what they're missing if they think that is good food. I see now why lots of folks take their home made Q to work and I appreciate my WSM even more.
Gonna try Schwartz's tomorrow for some authentic, fresh Montreal Smoked meat.
