    • Atmosphere: In the urban sprawl of North Dallas. Has an interior decorator’s touch… this is Dallas, after all. Its brand-spanking new, but with a well thought-out design.

    • Loin Back Rib: Baby back; velvet texture; comes cleanly off the bone — no pulling necessary. Good meat/smoke balance; Nice rub – still very subtle spice in finish. I had two.

    • Pulled Pork: Oh, this is good; Fatty, but good. Difficult to rate (like chopped beef), but it gets high marks from me!

    • Sausage: This has some different spices/flavors… interesting mix. Wouldn’t be my preference, but deserving of respect.

    • Sauce: Chili Powder, Cumin… maybe a bit too much? Almost overpowers the sauce. A Tex-Mex version of the Salt Lick sauce? Gets points for being different.
