the winning pig
Yesterday I asked where your favorite local bbq comes from. Thanks to all who responded!
I have always been a big fan of Famous Dave’s, myself. To me, the most important part of barbecue is the sauce. And Dave’s has about 6 different sauces to accomodate the masses. I love the Rich ‘n’ Sassy. If you need a big kick in your pork rind, try the Devil’s Spit.
My sister mentioned Mothership, which is temporarily closed - looking for a new location. A lot of local bloggers LOVE this place, and it was always one of our primary meet up spots. I didn’t care too much for the sauce, as it was more water-based than the rich, creamy sauces I prefer to slather over my pulled pork. But that didn’t stop me from eating there. Mothership was always more about the *cough* ambiance for me than the food. As well as the company. I would go in there alone on any given Saturday and eat with someone I knew. It was just one of those great local dives. I look forward to it’s grand reopening.
Another great bbq joint I just fell in love with is Barbecutie. Do not let the name fool you like I did. I always thought the name was a little too….uh, cute? So I never tried it. Until my company had it catered in for a pre-July 4th lunch. It. Was. AMAZING! Perfect thick, creamy, tangy sauce, over tender pulled pork and ribs. Two words: Texas toast. Two more words: Fudge pie. Here’s a couple more for ya: Sweet tea.
Nashville BBQ staple: Jacks on Broadway. Just go.
So gerd.
So have a great weekend, and get you some BBQ. You know where to go.

The Barbecutie in Smyrna used to be great…but now it’s gone downhill. I’ve not been in a long while…
