Let the choir of angels sing: I have found good barbeque in the south! Between the nasty, how-does-the-health-department-not-shut-this-place-down horror of Anjac's to the gut wrenching disaster Hog Heaven, I thought I'd have to go back to the midwest or open my own restaurant to get good bbq. Thankfully I was wrong!
I should have gone here first. This place has been on the Food Network. They sent Diners, Drive-ins and Dives to this place. They've won awards. But then again, Anjac's claims to have won awards too, and that place is nasty. Ok. Let me start from the beginning. There's a food truck down on the beach, owned and operated by The Shed, a local bbq join. I have no problem with food trucks, hell, I'd open one myself if I could afford it. But after so many bad experiences with southern bbq, I really did not want to go here.
First of all, the price? At this truck at least, you cannot beat it. I think it came out to about $10 for a sandwich and 2 sides. And these sandwiches were not small; I'm a big guy and I thought they were damn near huge. Gotta say the portion size was much better than Hog Heaven. I didn't even eat the bun. It wasn't necessary. The meat was so tender and juicy even without the sauce. THIS is what really well done brisket is supposed to taste like. No fat at all, oh it was beautiful. I could have eaten 5 pounds of it and not batted an eye. The sauce was even great, and I think they sell it by the bottle.
I didn't even care about the sides. I got the beans and potato salad. The beans were very good, and obviously home made. I'm not a fan of southern potato salad though. I prefer mustard in my potato salad and they don't do that here. I can't hold that against them; it's just my own personal taste. The only thing that could have made this meal better would've been fries or onion rings. But it was a food truck so maybe not.
And since it was on the beach, you couldn't beat the view.
