This was ok. There was plenty of food, but the quality was just mediocre. I still enjoyed it but there wasn’t much finesse to the bbq – very middle of the road and safe. The service (at the bar) was great though! My bartender was super friendly and attentive. He wasn’t bad looking either, hehe!

Assorted bbq sauces - Smokey Bones

Assorted BBQ sauce bottles. I love it when there are multiple bbq sauces to try. I’m always partial to the spicier ones, but these kinds of restaurants don’t ever go too spicy on the bbq.

Bones bin. Never seen this before. The bartender brings out this brown paper bag, folds the top and places it in front of me for my bones. Kinda cool!

Three meat combo - Home Team BBQ
Smoked pulled pork, 1/4 chicken, 3-4 ribs, mac and cheese, poppy seed slaw, cornbread muffin. $16.25
Fiery Ron’s Home Team BBQ, Charleston SC

Mmm, so good! I’m a sucker for pork ribs and these taste great. Actually, the chicken and the pulled pork were also very good. The mac and cheese was perfect, so cheesy and just the way I like it. The coleslaw was light, perhaps on the runny side but yummy. And the Alabama white sauce is amazing!

SweetWater 420 Extra pale ale beer. I’m not a huge beer fan but this tasted great with the bbq!

Sauce bottles - Home Team BBQ
Bbq sauce bottles. They’re all different tasting and pretty good. The “hot” bbq sauce is not hot at all though. Maybe Southerners have a different spice gauge? And I’m not a big mustard based bbq sauce guy so I didn’t use much of it.

Circular Congretional Church and Cemetery. This is a beautiful church in the middle of the downtown historic district. I’ve never been inside, but the graveyard in the back is pretty cool.

These were sticky, sweet, salty, and absolutely delicious! Among all the small plates we tried, this was the most substantial. I love pork ribs and these did not disappoint!

Project 365: Day 61

Flew back from Ohio through Chicago this morning. Caught a 9am flight and was able to get back to San Francisco before 1pm and was able to squeeze in a few hours of work before the day was over. Love visiting Codes, but also glad to be back home.

I love Terminal 2 at the San Francisco International Airport. It’s small, clean, and has amazing food options (for an airport). These ribs were tasty and reasonably priced. I really enjoyed the macaroni and cheese with the chunky bread crumb topping. The green beans – not so much.

Pork ribs platter Smokin' Warehouse Barbecue

Slowly smoked and finished with their house BBQ sauce. Ordered with mac and cheese, baked beans with pork, and cornbread.  $13.95

I love BBQ, that this was some pretty good BBQ ribs.  It had a great smoky flavor and it was SO tender.  The macaroni and cheese was such a guilty pleasure.  It had the color and texture reminiscent of those from elementary school cafeterias.  And that’s not a complaint!  It was so yummy!

BBQ pork spareribs – Ton Kiang

BBQ pork spareribs Ton Kiang

You can’t really mess up Chinese bbq pork spareribs, right?  I mean all you have to do is marinate it, cook it, and voila – deliciousness!  Not so.  You certainly can make them really boring and forgettable.  And Ton Kiang succeeds in doing this, sorry.  There was very little flavor in these ribs, and even the fat was somehow bland if that’s possible.  This is also one of their larger dishes you it’s gonna cost you more $$.  Take my advice, don’t pull this one off the roving trays.
