Hello brethren. My family is currently enjoying our annual week in the Smokey Mountains, and this year, we finally made it to Delauder's for some Q before they sold out for the day. We tried to get there last year, but were unsuccessful in being on time before they were sold out and closed. We were bummed to pull into the parking lot and find a "Sold Out" sign.
Everything we had was downright delicious. I've been eating a lot of pork at home lately, so I wanted beef. Brisket for me, pulled pork for my wife, and a big ole burger (not smoked) for my daughter, who doesn't really like bbq (I know, something's wrong with that kid).
The brisket I got was fantastic. In fact, I'll go so far as to say it was the best I've ever had. I don't even try to make brisket at home, after two failed attempts at it. I think I know what I did wrong (should have cooked it longer), but that's another post for another day. Anyway, Delauder's was top notch, and I would eat there again in a heartbeat. I'm surprised they manage things so well in such a small space. At some point, I wouldn't be surprised if they move into a bigger location, or perhaps take over the space next door, which looks like a small engine or mechanic shop.
We would like to catch Preacher's BBQ while we are here. Trying to work out those details. But if you get to Gatlinburg and get a hankering for some really good Q, I definitely recommend Delauder's.
