probably my favorite bbq joint in the city, hottie hawgs bbq, is undergoing renovations, so they are closing for a couple of months. but before all that, they had one last shebang and had a $25 all you can eat and drink. and i did.
they put out their new menu on a buffet line, and i destroyed that shit like it was my last meal before hibernation. here's what they had...
left plate: collards, fried plantains, fried whole okra, hash
right plate: jalapeno cornbread, mac and cheese, mashed potatoes,
bbq pulled pork, bbq chicken, brisket
more of the same, except for the bbq spare rib and short rib
homemade mini corn dogs and a homemade beef patty
i ate so much i wanted to throw up, but the food was so good, i woulda just done it all again.
let's break down the meal...
the meats should have been the star of the show and the mos def were. their brisket is still the best i've ever had (fat matts and fox brothers are just piles of warmed over shit compared to these guys). and this time around the bbq chicken was fucking amazing, as was the pulled pork. ribs were good, not great. and they need to learn how to cook that short rib. though maybe i've been spoiled with korean short rib, i don't know.
their sides still need some work, cole slaw is definitely improved, but still mediocre. same with the mac and cheese. the collards weren't cooked enough, but still tasty. and the best side was the fried whole okra. killer okra.
it was just me, beasley, and action. no pictures were taken because that day we all couldn't fit in one picture together.
a big thanks to kyle, brian, and joe for putting all that together and throwing a hell of a going away party. see you guys in a few weeks!
