Dry Heat BBQ
Published by jeff on September 28th, 2008 in Friday Lunch.
My typical Friday includes lunch with my Laridian associates. This past Friday, our choice was Dry Heat BBQ.
Located on C Street Southwest, south of Highway 30, Dry Heat BBQ recently opened and offers the area another choice in BBQ.
The menu includes the standard staples, such as pulled pork, beef brisket, and ribs. The daily special also offered sausage and country (boneless) ribs. A variety of sides are also available. My choice was the pulled pork sandwich, with cole slaw and baked beans.
As suggested by the name, the barbecue meat is served dry (without sauce), but seasoned. Three different sauces — Memphis, Kansas City and Texas — are available at the table. I cut my sandwich in half so that I could try both the Memphis and the Kansas City sauces. Both were good — good enough that I don’t know which I preferred.
The baked beans were tasty. An associate thought that they were too hot, though I would have described them as spicy instead of hot. It was suggested that perhaps I’d already burned out my taste buds and could no longer distinguish “hot”, so, when you go there, try the beans and let me know if you’d describe them as “spicy” or “hot”!
