Re: \'Smokey Bones\' to close
[ QUOTE ]
i liked the one in rocester. i've tried to go to the NYC one, but apparently you need to get reservations by wednesday to go on the weekend. also, i think it is in the bronx? [/ QUOTE ] I went there recently with a party of about 8 on a Friday night, and we definitely did not reserve by Wednesday; in fact, we might've reserved the day of if not the day before. It's in Manhattan on 131st St., right under the Henry Hudson Parkway. So it's pretty far off the beaten path, but not too bad to get to as the subway is maybe 5 blocks away.

Re: BBQ
[ QUOTE ]
I just got done picking up a 110lb pig, my buddy is having a pig roast tommorow, Im heading out in a bit to help him get the dry rub etc on. He built a nice fire pit, and has a mechanical spit roaster, 10 hours @ 350 is the plan. we are going to do some drinking an concoct a bunch of differnt BBQ sauces including: traditional texas sauce, the various carolinas sauces, and some [censored] up rootbeer sauce he read about. ill get some pics if I can find my digi cam. [/ QUOTE ] oh man, I totally forgot to update this. My buddy stays up all night to get the pit ready so he can get the pig on at 4am so its ready to eat (I go home at go to bed ldo). He gets everything setup, perfect, fire going, adn than the spit breaks in half. cheap ebay spit, with a coupler int he middle. He was hacking up pig at 5 in the morning with a hacksaw so he could get it into his smoker to feed the 100 people he had over.

Re: BBQ

[ QUOTE ] I'm in the mood for BBQ after seeing this thread again. Might go to Jim and Nick's for the first time tomorrow afternoon. Thursday night am taking GF and family to see jazz-trumpet player Chris Botti in concert at a downtown theatre (I'm not really a fan but I assume I'll enjoy it okay). Pre-concert dinner plans might involve the previously mentioned Rendezvous Ribs or Blues City Cafe...although I was originally thinking of a decent sushi place in that area. Guess we'll see what we're in the mood for. Getting all dressed up to go to the concert and then going out for BBQ beforehand might not be such a great idea. [/ QUOTE ] If you're going downtown, go to Cozy Corner. Though that area might get a little dicey after dark. [/ QUOTE ] Look, you've gotten me wanting some Cozy Corner. I want to try it out before I throw my 2 cent "local's opinion" in on who has the best BBQ in Memphis. Apparently, I can't make a judgment since I've never tried the place. Also, have you tried Neely's? Another question for Memphians and people who've visited: Who has the best BBQ nachos? My opinion on this is (by far and, quite surprisingly) the Rum Boogie Cafe.

[/ QUOTE ] I like Germantown Commissary for both nachos and the BBQ salad ("big enough for da boss man"). However, I think I may be slightly biased in their favor because I'm a huge railfan and they're right by the tracks. There's not much better than a few beers, some BBQ nachos, and watching trains go by with the kids. The 17-month-old screams like santa claus just walked in the room when the train goes by. it's awesome, and the other folks there invariably think it's incredibly cute (which it is).

I had the hot link sandwich last time I went to the commissary, and it was incredibly good. I'm not a big proponent of BBQ sausage (I tend to be more of a pulled shoulder/rib specialist (hey, that reminds me of something else, a couple of months ago John Daly had to withdraw from a tournament due to an injury, and the note on the crawl at the bottom of the ESPN screen said "Daly withdraws (ribs, shoulder)" which was just too deliciously appropriate (and John Daly is my personal life coach (aren't nested comments neat?)))) but anway, the hot links just sounded good for some reason that day and I was pleasantly surprised with what I got.

Re: BBQ
[ QUOTE ]
Here is the E. NC sauce that has been made in my family for 4 generations. RT's NC BBQ Sauce Qt. Recipe 1 qt. of Red Apple Cider Vinegar(we prefer Whitehouse) 5 tsp. of Salt 5 tsp. of Sugar 1/4 tsp. of Ground Black Pepper 1 tsp. of Crushed Red Pepper 1/2 tsp. of Cayenne Pepper 1/2 tsp. of Garlic Powder 2 tsp. of Texas Pete Hot Sauce(It must be Texas Pete) Mix in and let sit up for a few days before pig pickin. Your going to need to make up a good amount depending on how much of the pig your Qing, you start applying it to the pig once you put it on the pit/grill/smoker and at regular intervals until done, obviously have extra for people who want more sauce while eating. Serve with Hush Puppies, Cornsticks, Brunswick Stew, Potato Salad, Cole Slaw, Baked Beans, Fries etc. etc. We are doing a whole pig soon I will make sure to photo document, the cooking/technique and post it here. [/ QUOTE ] How long will a sauce like this keep in the fridge? Is there any kind of preservative to add to make it last longer, or is the vinegar enough to keep it fresh?
