Just when you think you know all the Q joints...

My Favorite Redhead and I stopped in to a local tavern - a haven for Cleveland Browns fans in Cincinnati, for those of you up nor'east - for a burger. We had never been there and only knew about it by passing by.

What should my eyes behold but a Brisket Burnt Ends appetizer! Burnt ends? In OHIO?!?! What wizardry is this....

Turns out they smoke all their wings, chicken, sausage, brisket, pork and prime rib in house. Have a smoked prime rib and a burnt ends sandwich too. A little bit of Texas hiding in Ohio.

I may have found a new spot. Not sure what equipment they have yet but I will find out.

Well I went back today for lunch, got the three meat plate, brisket, pulled pork and pulled chicken. Pulled pork was pretty good. Brisket was nice and tender, pretty flavorful but no smoke flavor at all. I suspect injected and probably finished in an oven. Pulled chicken was meh. You ought to be able to get great smoke flavor into chicken.

Could be! I wonder though if they have an indoor smoker like Dickie's.

That's a nice looking setup.
