I was there about 6 months ago. Didn't see any roaches, and the place was actually a little cleaner than the last time I was there. The brick fireplace is still there, and the place has remained the same size the last several years. I ordered a combo sandwich with brisket and ham, but they were out of ham so made me a double brisket sandwich. Damn thing was so big it took me 3 meals to eat it! Their smoked meats are good, but I'm not to crazy about their sauce. I think its pickle juice based, and is pretty sour and not at all spicy. Take along a bottle of heat of your own choosing. > Date: Tue, 15 Feb 2000 06:17:01 -0500 > From: "Leslie Mandic'" <rnonrun@aye.net> > Subject: re: [CH] bbq recipes Subject: [CH] bbq recipes Article "Smokin'" from July Esquire mag. has some good bbq recipes http://www.britannica.com/bcom/magazine/article/0,5744,89457,00.html > > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; x-mac-type="54455854"; x-mac-creator="4D4F5353" > Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit > > Hey Judy went to this link and so tickeled!
