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. We both ordered the two meat plate with two sides. I went with the brisket and ribs with macaroni and baked beans and Gavin gave the pulled pork and ribs a go with a side of macaroni and tater' salad. When we sat down, I noticed Gavin eyeballing his plate like a fat kid alone in his moms kitchen with a pack of cupcakes. He then looked up and said," I can't wait to slather this meat all over my face!" Lmao. The first thing I tried on my plate was the brisket. Pretty good. A little tough. Not the best or worst I've ever had. Next I dug into the sides. The Macaroni was great and the baked beans (I have to give props to) had a unique flavor that was sweet, smoky and very delicious. Last but not least was the ribs. The ribs were a little tough (didn't really fall off the bone), but feature a great rub with a solid smoky flavor. These ribs in my opinion go better wet with Podnuh's signature barbecue sauce that has a sweetly seasoned flavor. On the other side of the table, Gavin continued to woof down his food. He bragged on the pulled pork, remarking on its flavor and tenderness. When it came to the ribs, Gavin agreed. I guess us fat boys know ribs! Food Rating:  Service When we got to Podnuh's, the place was packed with a lunch crowd. They were a little slow at first, but soon got the line moving. The line chef was nice and did not rush me to decide. So many choices! Service Rating:  Atmosphere Podnuh's has that All-American smokehouse barbecue atmosphere. The wood, L-shaped building with the butcher block and long order table. The building is old, but the place was clean and spacious.
