I prefer slow, hickory smoked and pre-rubbed meats with very little sauce, although my tastes alternate between vinegar-spice and tomato based sauces.<BR/><BR/>Bottom line: All BBQ is good.<BR/><BR/>Cheers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-42832896023425707822009-02-10T10:55:00.000-05:002009-02-10T10:55:00.000-05:00Most of the bbq places here offer slaw, potato chi...Most of the bbq places here offer slaw, potato chips, baked beans, or potato salad as side options.<BR/><BR/>And I was well into my teens before I even knew there was such a thing as UNsweetened tea.Bonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10096591352278195759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-35732130654780066262009-02-10T05:53:00.000-05:002009-02-10T05:53:00.000-05:00Something new to me.
