Smoke Daddy’s Review of Smokin Guns Bbq and Catering

The pulled pork was the best meat, but my favorites were the beans and the potato casserole.

MAIN FARE:

• Brisket – Very thin slices. Well trimmed, lean, and a little chewy.  Piece off the moist side pulls apart easily, is still fairly lean… but also chewy.
• Burnt Ends – Salty, smoky, & spicy.  Not all of them are completely rendered… how does that happen with burnt ends?
• Spare Rib – Interesting… inside meat is white like a pork chop.  Has a smoke ring, but is not rendered… tough.
• Baby Back Rib – Nice rub! Meat is flavorful, but chewy. Alot of spice here.
• Pulled Pork – Tastes lean – like a pork chop.
• Sausage – Sliced lengthwise. Italian… with extra fennel seeds.

OTHER FARE:

• Beans – thick sauce, sweet onions, and lots of meaty bits… Very good! 
• Slaw – Venegar-based and tangy. Leaf doesn’t crunch, but it is good.
• Potato Casserole – Cheesy with corn flakes and bacon bits.  
• Two sauces with essentially the same make-up, except one has added heat.  Fairly standard KC-style sauce, but too ketchup-like for my taste.

ATMOSPHERE:

• Wood panel, basic decor… with walls covered with competition ribbons & banners.
• Trophy display is impressive, but overdone
• Quotable: "Good barbecue speaks for itself"  –Double Boner
• Quiet light industrial/warehouse area north of Downtown
• XO, K-Dawg, and FU get a tour of the pits
