I stopped by Marks Feed Store today for lunch and came away somewhat disappointed.
I had a small rib basket of baby backs. No smoke ring... no smoke flavor. They were tender enough but no smoke. They had an ok sauce on them but without the smoke, whats the point?
My first clue was walking into the place and no smell of smoke at all.
I was surprised because folks in this area seem to hold this place in high regard. Which tells me that I hit it on a really off day OR some of the folks in this area just have not had real BBQ!
Thats my new standard... If I can't smell the smoke by the time I walk into the place, then I am going to turn around and leave!
