Tin Roof shuts downSo I'm pretty bummed out. Tin Roof Barbecue, which was right down the street from me in Hoover, Alabama, has shut down. I'm guessing it had to do with multiple failures on health inspections (it was never the cleanest feeling place), but the food was always good, and they had a good sauce selection.

Basic vinegar-based barbecue sauceVinegar-based barbecue sauce is a staple of northeastern South Carolina (the Sandhills region around Florence, Sumter and Marion), and it's what people across the country typically call North Carolina style sauce. Unlike a typical barbecue sauce, which is a balancing act of sweet and tart, most people make this stuff all about the vinegar.

Bill's BarbecueSince being founded in Norfolk in 1930 and then moving to Richmond the next year, Bill's Barbecue has since continued to make the best minced pork barbecue and homemade pies in Virginia. The recommendation is to buy multiple small minced pork sandwiches with slaw, instead of one large sandwich. For some reason, buying 3 small ones is a more enjoyable experience. The fries are thick, fresh and HOT. Limeade and chocolate pie top off and excellent meal. Bill's Barbecue has multiple locations in and around the Richmond, Virginia area. Pierce's Pitt Bar-B-QuePierce's Pitt Bar-B-Que has been sort of a family tradition in my house since the mid-1970's. My parents still do for "Sunday Drives" and end up at Pierce's in Williamsburg. It should be a "must stop" on the way to or from the beach and Richmond, VA. Pierce's Pitt Bar-B-Que is just off of I-64 and you will probably see it off to the side of the Interstate as you drive by it and have to get off at the next exit and backtrack. It is worth the effort! Here are the directions and hours: From Norfolk: Bar-BQ BarnYou may have to wait for a table during certain times of the year, when it seems like everyone in the area comes to the Bar-BQ Barn to pick up homemade pies or all the fixin's for a holiday meal. Bar-BQ Barn makes great BBQ year-round but they have quite an impressive take-out business prior to each holiday. Shealy's Bar-B-QueShealy's is a legend in central South Carolina. It attracts loyal followers from many miles around. For the BBQ purist they offer great pulled pork delicious sauces (yes they offer the sweet mustard style commonplace in the SC Midlands without the unfortunate overtones of one of their nearby competitors, if you are from Columbia you know what restaurant I'm talking about). The restaurant is buffet style and the offerings go way beyond just BBQ to excellent sides and desserts. Cotton Eyed Joe's BarbequeIt's right on the train tracks. It looks a little shifty. People turn toward the door when you walk in. And the walls and atmosphere are permeated with the smell of wood smoke. |
