Well - I found a BBQ restaurant in Blowing Rock, NC- Woodlands it is called. Had great music (fiddles and such) but the food was very mediocre. Not sure if it was them or the result of my having a CS and having eaten good Q as a result. Same thing happened when I was in Williamsburg last weekend. We ate at Red Hot and Blue. I had been there three times in the past (prior to getting my smoker) and really enjoyed it. I ordered brisket and ribs this past week. The baby backs (dry rub) were pretty good. The brisket was pretty awful - plain tough. So a word of warning to all. Making your own can sure spoil you and CS smokers make it so well and so easy, you may never want to eat Q at a restaurant again.
