Country’s Barbecue
Country's has been a staple of my BBQ eating since I was a kid. It seems like it's been around Auburn forever, and even though this isn't the first (or even primary) location, it's the one I went to first and the one I remember most.
Cheerwine Red Sauce (as promised)As requested, this is a barbecue sauce made from Cheerwine. This is a new creation, so feel free to alter and experiment. If you get a new variation, post it in comments! This week's winnerPair11 is this week's winner of a BBQHunt.com t-shirt for two great reviews--a wine review and a bbq joint called The Shed! Keep reviewing, and we'll give out more prizes at the end of this week. I'm thinkin' BBQ apron this time around. Moore's MarinadeBack when I was in college, I used to frequently fill the role of grillmeister. My particular poison was burgers, with the ground beef marinated in a mixture of soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce and garlic powder. It made a damn fine burger, if I do say so myself. BBQ? Barbecue? Barbeque? The catalog of terms thread...It seems like every new review we get has a different spelling of barbecue. Which one is right? Buttermilk biscuitsThis recipe is adapted from one in the Fannie Farmer cookbook, which is a great "staples" cookbook if you need one. |
Cactus Bob's BBQ CorralThe Des Moines Register reviews Cactus Bob's here: http://www.desmoinesregister.com/article/20090827/ENT02/908270330/1046/ENT DreamlandI am a Dreamland snob. And by snob, I mean that I will only review the original, beat down, un-airconditioned shack in Tuscaloosa. I will eat at the others, because a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do. Your first hint that this is a good place is the stray dogs outside the door, hoping that something is leftover for them. Web site:

Chuck's Bar-B-QI grew up in a small town in Alabama, and when I say small - I mean the local kids checked out of school when the Super WalMart opened. Seriously. And lucky for them, Chuck's is right at the top of the hill as you're turning in to said WalMart. Shorty's BBQLocated in Palm Beach Gardens, this offshoot of the Miami original is - so far - the best in the area. They do a fine job with the staples - ribs, pulled/chopped pork, chicken and especially brisket. When they nail the brisket it is sublime. Shorty's has what could be the Best. Coleslaw. Evar. Finally figured out it was buttermilk that made it so creamy - and it's fantastic. The fried dill pickles are another must-have. While it isn't the best Q ever - its definitely worth a visit and has no real commercial competition in the area. Web site:
