Big Jakes BBQ 08/25/2010
A favorite pastime of mine is driving down river road and enjoying the historical scenery. I do pretty often, driving up and down both sides of the river and often discover new places. One of my recent discoveries was Big Jake's BBQ while passing through Saint Gabriel, just west of Gonzales. Voodoo BBQ & Grill 04/10/2010
As big of a barbecue fan as I am, I'm ashamed to admit that I have just recently ate at Voodoo BBQ for the first time. Even though you can now pretty much find a Voodoo BBQ anywhere in the area now days, I was finally compelled enough to give it a try. Cou-Yons BBQ 09/05/2009
While at the Taste of Tiger Tailgating last weekend, I discovered Cou-Yons BBQ. I got to sample the pulled pork while there and once I took my first bite, I knew I had to give this place a visit. Cou-Yons is a small restaurant located inside a gas station on Burbank Drive, so naturally I had a little difficulty finding this place. We drove past the place a couple of times during our search before finally pulling into a gas station to try to find our bearings. Once we pulled in, my friend happened to look up and behold: our quest for Cou-Yons was finished. Brothers BBQ 06/30/2009
Over the past year or so, I have heard from so many people about how great Brother's Barbecue is. Around the end of last year, a friend and I finally caved in a headed over to Government St. to give this place a try. When we "arrived at our destination" (according to the GPS, because we had no clue where this place was), we were suddenly disappointed to find the place was shut down for good. Sadly we turned around and headed to the nearest McDonald's to drown our sorrows with a Big Mac. Snowflake Barbecue 03/12/2009
Hidden on Washington St. off of Dalrymple lies a little hole in the wall called Snowflake Barbecue. This place has no seating (to go orders only) and makes BJ's Smokehouse look like fine dining. Deep South BBQ 02/27/2009
Today I stumbled across Baton Rouge's worst barbecue joint, Deep South Barbecue. I went with the brisket and rib plate. To start with, this was by far the worst brisket I have ever had. It was dry, tough, and just plain tasted horrible. I would imagine that canned brisket in water (I've seen it before) would have to taste better than this. Podnuhs Barbecue 02/20/2009
Today's restaurant review took us to Podnuh's Barbecue where I met up with my guest Gavin. I was in the barbecue mood today and wanted to try something new. What better place than one of Baton Rouge's original barbecue joints. Waynes BBQ 02/05/2009
Since moving to the area all I have heard people talk about is how great Wayne's Barbecue is. "You will not find a better barbeque place around, it’s wonderful, blah, blah, blah", they always say. So on a late lunch one day, I decided to hop in my truck and take a drive down to ole Wayne's Barbecue in the town of Livingston. Sonnys Barbecue 02/04/2009
Well, Im gonna be the spoiler on this one. I was not impressed with the Baby Back Ribs at all! My dogs chew toy is more tender! Along with that, there was little meat on each bone and you had to work hard to get it off. |
