Smoke Daddy’s Review of M and K Barbecue and Country Cooking

Smoke Daddy’s Review of M and K Barbecue and Country Cooking

The food was in the average to good range, but with much less smoke flavor than we’re used to getting.  Because of time constraints, this joint was chosen over barbecue in Shelby.  Would should have kept on moving, because after being in Lexington earlier this afternoon, M&K doesn’t make a lasting impression on us.

MAIN FARE:M&K Spread

  • Slice – Tender & moist.  Not sauced/dipped in the kitchen.  Less smoke that we’ve seen elsewhere today.  Baked?
  • Chop – Good mix of meats here.  Very moist/wet/watery (steam tray?).

OTHER FARE:

OTHER FARE:

  • Pup – Larger than we’ve seen and round.  Denser and saltier with onion.  OK.
  • Slaw – Peppery, red slaw.  Celery?
  • Dip – Mild & Thin.Cheerwine at M&K
  • Thick Sauce – Sweet/hot with heavy celery.  Too bold.  Covers up the meat flavors when applied.
  • Cheerwine on the fountain here!

ATMOSPHERE:

  • Diner feel
  • Comfortable with nice folks
  • Where’s the wood?  Where’s the smoke?
