NICE!! I think we have only dined in once. Usually, it’s to go, as we are on the road. It’s TOUGH to smell that in the car for the ride back, but the family back home appreciates our efforts. And yes, your experience matches ours. Glad you enjoyed!Great call, @justdoit19! Jack Stack is more polished and buttoned down than your typical BBQ joint (no metal trays!) but it was top notch all around. DW and I split a rack of spareribs plus brisket, which was preceded by an app of burnt ends — beef and pork — and accompanied by creamed corn, baked beans, steamed broccoli and onion rings. The meat was delightful but the most impressive thing was the miraculously oil-free onion rings. That takes skill! We took about 1/3 of the meat to go; made for a great lunch the next day.
As we cross the country, we’re making a point of enjoying the local fare. So barbecue in Kansas City; toasted raviolis in St. Louis (just the start of a delightful old-school Italian dinner); and tomorrow, the famous Hot Brown of Louisville: roasted turkey over toast, topped with Mornay sauce, melted cheese, tomato slices and…drum roll please…BACON!!!
Looking forward to an Iron Rooster pop tart this weekend, but fearing that the place will be underwater, according to DD’s weather report.
