Cincy, have you tried Williamson Brothers BBQ up in Marietta? When I lived there I found it pretty decent.

A top BBQ place here, long closed, was called Harold's, and he served a piece of white bread with it, and never beer, he said "Momma won't let me serve beer>"

It was down near the Federal pen.

We've tried 5 or 6 local places and only Fox Bros. is what I'd called good.  There aren't that many around really, in the 'burbs they have chains like Sonny's.

I got used to eastern Carolina BBQ and like that when I can get it.
I like Sonny's.
The BBQ joint I went to most frequently here in Phoenix is now some other restaurant, so that's fun. 
Bobby Qs is good, but fancyish for a BBQ place. 

I like mustard-based Carolina style as a change-up sometimes, but can't imagine is being my norm.  As I've said before, in Phx, it's hard to find a place that has sweet tea AND hushpuppies, much less a passionate pitmaster in the back.

I know it's not Q, but have you been to this place? If not, go.

Cincy might appreciate this story.................

A young couple who ordered an $18 Pinot Noir at Balthazar in New York found themselves enjoying Mouton Rothschild 1989 listed at $2,000 following a mix-up, according to owner Keith McNally.

Weird, many folks (including me) don't think pinot should be decanted as a general rule.  And the wine bottles should be shown to the diner and opened in front of them, not carried out back to decant.

And anyone with any knowledge of Bordeaux should KNOW that an $18 is NOT Bordeaux in any way, shape, or form.

I'm surprised they'd have a pinot at that price point.

Also, the Bordeaux probably cost the restaurant more like $400 or so.

A pinot that is $18 at a restaurant would probably cost $8 retail, and $5 to the restaurant, if that.  The cheapest wines at a decent restaurant around here start at $35 or so.

Nope, that is a bit of a drive for us, but our Costco is up that way.

One thing about cheap US pinot, they often add some syrah to it to give it apparent heft.  Pinot can be a bit of an acquired taste, and adding pinot makes it more like merlot or cab.  This is a cheap trick to take cheap pinot and make it taste like something, and pinot is hard to grow.

There is a popular brand that does this, Meomi, but it's $18-20 retail, more like $40 in restaurants.

Not a pinot fan at all.

Give me a big Zin or a Barbera and I'm happy.

So, what's everyone up to this year?

It's a big one for us as Mrs. 847 is retiring in March.

We just got back from Cabo, and we'll head to Florida next month, for a week.

Then, in March (after the retirement), we head to Lima, Peru to hop on a cruise ship. It will make its way to Miami, via the Panama Canal (that the USA built and Carter gave away). This has been on my list for a long time, so I'm really excited.

We'll probably end up buying a home in Florida this year.



So, all of this happened except the cruise. Dammit China.
