I Should Have Known...
So, there is this BBQ joint in Indy not far from my house. I hear people talking about how amazing it is, so I thought I would drop by and order a small rib tip box with sauce on the side. I won't name the place because I am not in the habit slamming BBQ joints, but if this is what people consider amazing BBQ then I would hate to have some of the stuff that is just OK! Now I'm hawngry for some real BBQ, so I will just have to break open one of my vacuum seal packs and make myself a snack.

I hear you. Once you make your own it is very hard to buy it. Very few place (where I live) make anything decent. Most people judge BBQ by the sauce and don't even care about the meat...???!!!

Yeah it's almost a curse once you figure out what your doing.
|
^^^ True.
Fortunately there is a place not too far from me if I am looking for Q and don't feel like cooking... |
there's only famous daves by me.

The 10 years I was up in Indy for the F1 races, other than the track and my hotel on South East Street, I couldn't make it to anywhere but Broad Ripple every night every year.......not exactly sure why...:wink::wink::wink:

I hear ya Tony. My co-workers swear by Dickey's BBQ Pit, and just can't understand why I won't try it. Nothing against the place, just have no desire to try it.

Thankfully I run a restaurant and don't have to worry about bad BBQ.

I was at a soccer event and there was a guy catering pulled pork. I heard people say" wow this is really good!" so like a dummie I had to go try it:doh: When I got to the window I asked where his smoker was and he said he smoked off site( That's a no no in this state) and I said oh, ok. Walked around back after i paid and I'll be darned.... GFS boxes of pulled pork layin' right there!!

IU grad here. I don't think I ever ate bbq anywhere in the state of Indiana!

This is not meant in any way for you specifically, as I've heard others sing your praises, but your statement brings up an interesting point I think. How did so many BBQ joints become so average? I have a hard time believing that people got into the Q business without thinking their BBQ was really really good. I guess I wonder if it becomes a problem of scale. Can people just not handle the sheer volume of the cooks and keep quality? Do they start off high then slowly sink due to apathy? It just seems like this is a common theme but I can't believe so many people would gamble so much with only average product. I can understand it from some of the chains. There mission is to appeal to as many people as they can while offending absolutely nobody. But mom and pop joints see, to fall by the wayside just as much. |
