Went to dinner there last night. I had the Combo of St. Louis style ribs and Brontosaurus Beef ribs. The St. Louis ribs were pretty good but the Beef ribs were way over cooked. I could barely get the meat off of the bone. It was like wrestling with some tough shoe leather and losing!!! I don't know if I caught them on a bad night or not, but I definitely would not recommend this place. Stick to Redbones!!! -- allen ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Allen Canning | I'm in my apartment -- A man drove himself insane UNIX System Admin. | He was driven -- Insane [email removed] | At least he was driven -- I don't know about you http://www.progress.com | But it sure seems better -- Than just sitting around (617) 280-4249 | talking about it. - Henry Rollins ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From [email removed] Wed Mar 6 20:59 EST 1996 To: [email removed] Subject: New England Barbecue Restaurants Content-Type: text Content-Length: 1256 Here's a list of a few New England barbecue restaurants.

But, I went to a wedding in Memphis once, and the pre-wedding party was catered by Corky's, which is supposedly famous. The food was outstanding. If I were doing the show, I'd go down to New Berne, NC and nose around. Chili The best thing to do is go to a big chili cookoff. The granddaddy of them all would be the Chili Appreciation Society International championship in Terlingua, Texas in November. A cookoff would be a lot more photogenic than a restaurant -- with the show teams, banners, etc. And everyone would be walking around in cowboy hats and boots, half drunk on tequila by noontime. On the other hand, a chili restaurant with a lot of character is the Hard Times Cafe on King St. in Alexandria, VA. The Parker brothers, who own the place, cook chili in competition well enough to qualify for Terlingua, so their stuff is pretty good. I like to sit at the bar (actually more like a lunch counter) at the back and play country music on the juke box (ten cents a play). Hank jr and sr. Patsy Cline. Ice cream I'd go to Four Seas ice cream in Centerville, Mass (on the road to Craigville Beach). It's been a family business since 1939 and has a loyal legion of fans. The recommend their hot fudge sundae with coconut ice cream, which is awfully good. But they might be getting tired of being on TV. They were on PBS last month (or so I've heard). chicken I'd go to Popeyes. Maybe there's something more original in New Orleans. burgers The best burger I ever had (aside from ones I've cooked at home) was at Archibald's in Washington DC (outstanding buffalo wings too). But maybe the naked dancing girls wouldn't go over on TV. Try the sports bar upstairs, which uses the same kitchen. pizza Good pizza is strictly an east coast phenonemon. You need a critical mass of Italians (or even better, Greeks) to have good pizza. I was once in San Diego and had an urgent craving for pizza. We passed by Pizza Hut (an instinctive reaction for a couple of Massachusetts boys) in the hope of finding authentic pizza down the road, but after 100 miles of driving ended back at the Hut. Way below average, even for Pizza Hut. The best pizza I've ever had was Greek pizza at Bells in Amherst, Mass. However, a really good story could be made about which pizzaria in Rehoboth Beach, Del. makes the best pizza. IMHO, there is more good pizza in Rehoboth than in Washington DC, which is 100 times bigger. Crowds line up to get into Nicola PIzza, who make a very good pizza (and an even better calzone). The local giant Grotto's makes a good, but uninspired pizza. Nick's on the boardwalk is famous for their "white pizza" (cheese and garlic, no tomatoe sauce). I think Louie's is the best, although I concede that this is a minority view. Down here in New Zealand, there's no good pizza, burgers, chicken, chili, or BBQ (except chez moi). Had a nice Malaysian curry for dinner, though. I swear, it's just a matter of time before I open my own place. Bruce
