Famous Daves cooked next to us at the B&B contest last year and had some impressive equipment (big bucks). They sold to the public ribs a buck a bone,they went thru a 100 racks on Fri and another 100 on Sat. plus chicken and pulled pork.They have built two stores here and are building in Vegas also. I have eaten there twice and thought it was good for a chain.Everyone i know that knows how to smoke is never satisfied when they eat out anyway :roll:

Note to Phil,

Only a fool goes to a restaurant in the first 2 months of operation, and then gets take out to boot.

Way too long a window in the NY area. You have to be on your game on day one or be out of business in 90 days. There's too much competetion to give a new place 2 months to get it right.

Jericho turnpike (RT 25) - right on the Nassau/Suffolk border. South side of the street. Next to a landscaper that also does chain saw log carvings. Phil says it's Woodbury.

His brisket was pretty good. Sauce OK. Pulled pork was dry - but he told me that i was eating yesterday's batch. Don't remember the ribs.

Gawd - that photo sucks. Every home-cooked Brethren photo I've seen posted on this board beats that with a stick. One year I helped a guy in MD prepare his income taxes. For my time he ordered Famous Daves - about $70 worth also. Put it this way - I wasn't in any rush to bring leftovers home.
