Alright, to business

Smoking Joe's Bar-Be-Que

A young restaurant, 18-months-old, it's a 'refined' barbecue place. And by that I mean it has menus and table service. And meat... lots of meat. What you see is the double portion combo meal: 1/4 pound each of chicken and brisket and half-rack of ribs. Brisket was solid, just a touch dry. Chicken and ribs had the same rub (major rosemary flavor) and enough to form a crust. James really liked the ribs, I a little less but good. Sides were nondescript across the board.

All-in-all, pretty good start. But this leads to a potential problem, which I'll get to later (teaser!).
