BBQ MMM! Yummy
We have a local place called Bad Brad's. They only use dry rub on their brisket, pork, and chicken.
They serve 3 sauces separate, or combined. Carolina style vinegar based, Memphis smokey, and a KC style sweet&spicy. Their side dishes of beans, potato salad, And cole slaw are amazing.
The new Heinz Kentucky bourbon sauce is very tasty.
I got a ceramic lined green egg style bbq grill/smoker at a $100 reduction two weeks ago. My Labor day pork shoulder was delicious.
Say what they will about D town, after the French, came Southerners, for factory jobs. You can bet they know BBQ too! If they couldn't afford a fancy grill, they cut a 55 gallon drum in half and made their own.
Then came people from all over. Italians, Hungarians, Poles, Mexican's, Lebanese, Ukranian's, Croation's, Iraqi's, even a few Russian's.
We have all that food here, well, not so much French. French Canadian cuisine isn't like Cajun, or Creole french food. The Acadian's were banished from Quebec and settled in southern Louisiana.
We don't even have Poutine here, but they do in Montreal. Thats french fries with cheese curds and beef gravy. I had the most tasty rabbit stew there, made with burgundy of course.
Places change. Like New Brunswick NJ, settled by Hungarians, but with many Hispanic's today, but they still have a Hunky festival each year.
That's whats great about the USA, we lived where we want, and eat what we like.
You can get a Hot Brown in Louisville, or it's close relative, the Devonshire in Pittsburgh, because the Ohio river runs through both.
