In many parts of the south, The Carolinas, Missouri, and Tennessee for example, pork is barbecue. Pork is perfect for the smoker, as it is always juicy and tender. Our special seasonings accent the flavor of the meat. Great barbecue always tastes great on its own. If the meat doesn't have the barbecue flavor you long for, no amount of barbecue sauce will make a difference. Our sauces are merely a complement for those that enjoy it. Choose from these selections.

and served with a spicy Orange-Chipotle glaze. You won’t
believe how unbelievably good these are! Country Style Ribs
Big, meaty ribs cut
from fresh pork shoulder. We rub these with our special spices and smoke them
until they’re
tender and juicy. Slather
‘em with our special barbecue sauce and dig in! Pulled Pork
Our pork shoulder is
hand rubbed with a special
“wet”
rub and slow smoked for hours until you can literally pull it apart with your
fingers! Pile it on a bun and top with our special coleslaw for a
genuine taste of
Southern hospitality! Served with a Carolina style pork finishing sauce, and
our own barbecue sauce. That’s
a sandwich! Cedar
Smoked Pork Loin with Pineapple Salsa Smoked Caribbean Tenderloin Get out your Hawaiian
shirt and the cool shades. This tender and delicious cut is marinated in
fresh lime juice, chutney, ginger and garlic, then rubbed with our zippy island
rub and smoked to juicy perfection in our pit. Served with a nice black
bean salsa. Carved at your buffet. Airfare to the islands and
lodging not included! Double Smoked Pit Ham with Bourbon-Mustard Glaze Our
lean, tender and juicy ham cooked in the pit over a maple wood fire and basted
with our special bourbon and stone ground mustard glaze to bring out the
sweetness of the meat. Hand carved at your buffet line. In Texas, beef is king. If you were invited to a backyard barbecue in Austin, they wouldn't be serving burgers and hot dogs seared on a grill. It would most likely be brisket, smoked low and slow over a mesquite fire. We offer a delicious, albeit unique version of this Texas classic, and several other choices to tempt your taste buds.
Beer-bathed
Beef Brisket
Our brisket is
Mesquite smoked for hours, then braised slowly in a Guinness Stout-based braising
liquid in our pit. A dripping mouthful of saucy heaven! Thinly sliced cross
grain. You’ve
never had anything like it! For
more casual events, we’ll serve it on a warm bun if you like. Barefoot Beef Ribs
These are big 'ol dinosaur bones that would make Fred Flintstone
happy! Rubbed in a nice marjoram based rub with a hint of brown sugar and

with spices, smoked medium-rare, and carved at your service table. Fabulous and
elegant! Prime Rib of Beef

never tasted barbecue heaven like this! Rubbed with our own prime rib spice and

au jus and fresh
horseradish sauce.
Many people have told us this is the best Prime Rib they ever tasted. Carved at
your service table. Rosemary Tri-Tip
We marinade this fabulous cut of beef in our special marinade
with finely chopped fresh Rosemary, then smoke it to medium rare in our pit. Smoked Tri-Tip Santa Maria Style
This is the authentic style of beef barbecue that originated over
100 years ago during California's
Rancho heyday. Hand rubbed with our authentic spices and slow smoked to medium
rare in the pit. Served with a mild salsa, small red beans, our homemade
macaroni and cheese, hot French bread and a crisp green salad. Carne Asada

salsa, sliced jalapeno peppers, warm tortillas, black beans, and a cool, crisp
green salad. So tender you won't need your teeth! Truly something different
for your event, and sure to delight your guests! Butterflied Leg Of Lamb
Tender boneless leg of
Lamb, marinated with extra-virgin olive oil, fresh Rosemary and garlic.
Smoked medium-rare in our pit. If you enjoy good lamb, you're going to
love this! Consider, if you will, the lowly chicken. Just like Rodney Dangerfield, chicken don't get no respect! In our speaking, being compared to a chicken is an insult. If you don't know quite how to describe the flavor of another food, what do you say? "It tastes like chicken." We prefer to look at it a little differently. Chicken is quite content to take on any flavor we want to achieve. Through years of experimentation, we have found a blend of herbs and spices that we believe perfectly complements the flavor of chicken. We know people who constantly flip those poor chicken parts around on the grill like they were playing hockey or something. We play with the fire, not your dinner. One turn, maybe. Well seasoned and smoked in our wood fired pit, it comes out tender and juicy and ready for you to enjoy. We will never serve you undercooked chicken. While we are diligent in our use of thermometers, please be aware that meat cooked in a smoker will take on a pinkish hue that can extend 1/4-1/2 inch into the meat. This is normal, and is not an indication that the food is undercooked. Pit-smoked Chicken
We serve only fresh
Washington grown chicken, butcher's 8/1 cut
(8 pieces per bird, 2 of each-breast half, thigh, drumstick, wing).
Brined for 24 hours then seasoned with our 14 secret herbs and spices. “The
Colonel” only
has 11!
Slow smoked to absolute perfection. Everyone’s
favorite. 5 Spice Cornish Hens
A generous 1/2 hen per person, marinated in our special blend of
soy, sherry, and Chinese 5-spice seasonings. Slowly smoked, juicy and
flavorful. Jerk Chicken
Rubbed with our special
Jerk paste and marinated for hours, this spicy little number boasts all the
traditional flavors of Jamaica. We'll tone it down or heat it up, which
ever you prefer.
Fish When our ancient ancestors peered into the nearest lake or river and saw fish swimming beneath the surface, they decided they should eat them. Thus began the timeless tradition of chasing after scaly creatures with stick, hook, and line. But many people are more confident catching fish than cooking them on their barbecue. Fish lends itself perfectly to cooking in our pit, or in the fish fryer. Since fish is very high in water content, it cooks up quickly, so the most important thing is to pay attention to your food. We are certain you will find the following offerings and our efforts to be to your liking. We've heard from many that it's the best fish they ever tasted.
Southern-Fried Catfish
Generous portions of
fresh Catfish fillet seasoned with a Mississippi Madcap blend of spices. Our
good friend Dwight finally gave us this recipe, and the Southern style we
learned from him lives on! We know you’ll
love it! We have these farm raised fillets air freighted in for the freshest
fish you can get. One
taste and you’ll be smelling the Magnolia blossoms and whistlin’ Dixie! Served

at the beach, and palm trees waving in the warm tropical breeze...then indulge
yourself in this feast! We'll start you off with our Jamacian style pepper
prawns, then serve up a fabulous lobster salad, our marinated Jerk style chicken
with Mango Chutney, Five spice pork spare ribs with our special orange-chipotle
glaze, rice pilaf, and a beautiful array of fresh fruit. Chase away those
