Up In Smoke BBQ

3/4/10 Abbott, TX. Up In Smoke is becoming the official I-35 travel stop for a BBQ fix. In this case, I had plans to mainline some Vitek's BBQ in Waco, but they close at 6 pm. Bummer. Which way to go on this one? I could stay bitter, and then never go there in some pointless unnoticed protest... but what if it's that good? They'll get their chance, and they better bring their A game for closing so early, but this post isn't about them.

Turkey! Got the turkey plate this time to change things up a bit. It's true to Up In Smoke standards in that it's minimally messed with (Think opposite of Rudy's). The turkey is quite tender and juicy, and it's very good with their spicy BBQ sauce. The cole slaw is pretty good, and the jalapino beans are rock solid as well. They DO have sweet tea so that's a big plus, but it's average at best. It's always a treat to get that slice of texas toast with the meal at Up In Smoke as well. The next visit will definitely involve Texas Trash instead of turkey, but the turkey is not bad if you're on a health kick for a day.
