Say Big Joe saw your black truck with your big mug shot on it at the Sacramento RD last week. Must be picking supplies.

I went and visited Big Joe's new Barbecue restaurant today. It opened a couple weeks ago. Now I know why Joe goes by the handle Big Joe...he could play small forward for the Lakers. Very nice man. Big smile on his face.

We chatted for awhile. Big Joe is definitely a Cookshack believer. He has 2 Charbroilers, an FE 120 and a SM 260. His restaurant is recessed under an an enormous multi story parking lot (great for folks wanting to take BBQ home) allowing him to have a Charbroiler protected outside and plenty room for tables when the weather gets a bit warmer.

I got there deliberately after the lunch hour rush...my bad. He had sold out of brisket, chicken and ribs. So I got 1.5 lbs of pulled pork and a big juicy hot link for tonight's dinner. The pulled pork is very good...my daughter said, "his pulled pork is as good as yours dad." My wife and daughter loved the rolls Joe provides for the pulled pork sandwiches. Mrs. Pags, "Smell this roll Jim (Pags). These are bakery fresh daily. They're delicious."

With good food and a great location I'm betting Big Joe makes it. His soft opening is going very well. You know what they say, "Location, location, location." Big Joe's Barbecue is located kitty corner from Sacramento City Hall, across the street from a large office building housing the Environmental Protection Agency, a block from the Sacramento County Seat, surrounded by numerous office buildings, and also across the street from a square city block park (perfect for customers grabbing a pulled pork sandwich and having lunch in the park).

Best of luck Big Joe. I enjoyed my pulled pork sandwich. And if you've read some of my posts that's not easy to do...making me enjoy a restaurant's pulled pork sandwich.
