Up In Smoke BBQ

2/12/10 Abbott, TX. A milestone in Blog-Bee-Que history, the first-second review! The last time I headed out to this place, I swore I'd try their "Texas Trash", which is basically their version of Frito Pie and WOW! You truly haven't lived until you experience this thing.

Let me first state that I've tagged last Friday as a rehersal for Doomsday. If a meteor is about to crash into the planet, you might want to have a plan in mind. Mine involves a minimum of 2 BBQ meals topped off with some cold Samual Adams coupled with a shameless disregard to the havoc it will surely unleash upon your body. Let's fast forward a bit and go straight to "it was all worth it".

TEXAS TRASH! They start by busting open a bag of Frito's and layering the bottom of the square paper bowl with them. Then comes two scoops of beans (go with spicy since it's a doomsday rehersal afterall). Next, chopped brisket is added, followed by your choice of mild or spicy BBQ sauce (again, no tomorrow, go spicy). Now comes the part where you just nod your head. She's gonna ask you if you want cheese and sour cream. You say yes. Mix that sucker up and you've got yourself a meal that's only one banana pudding away from daring a real doomsday event to occur. Take the risk, grasshopper. I don't really remember the banana pudding after taking out the Trash, but I do recall thinking it was about average. It's scooped out of a big serving bowl, which is a nice switch from the individual cups that are typical at BBQ joints. Oh, and I almost forgot to mention that the texas toast is included with every meal... just so you don't go away hungry...
