Hat Trick

Hat Trick (4/123)

  1. No problem. I first went to Chubby's after a similiar exchange on another site. Had to see for myself and personally I was impressed. I'd rather exchange honest assessments of the food then all the verbage back and forth that gets into casting aspersions on parentage and all that. VCQ
  2. I didn't mean to attack anything, just wanted some idea of previous BBQ preferences to have a better idea of what your expectations might have been. We're generally in pretty close agreement concerning the meat, although I had pretty solid ribs there, but I was surprised with your experience/opinion with the sides. I agree with your assessment of very little BBQ in the area worth going back for. That's definitely part of Chubby's appeal for me. I was actually hoping you could turn me on to some other option locally. When meat falls off the bone it's usually because the collagen has been cooked out of it thus rendering it "mushy". But hey, I don't know everything. VCQ I'm a chili cook that's eaten at Chubby's twice, posted variously of the meals I've had, and met the Dr. personally once. Crtainly haven't made any attempt to hide any of this, so by all means proceed with your investigation. And Vayo con Queso
  3. I've been to Chubby's twice now and am surprised by Porcupines experience. (I posted a review of a meal I had a couple weeks ago on roguefood.com if anyone's interested) Not all BBQ is all things to all people, but Chubby's does a great job, in my opinion, of serving quality smoked meats and letting the customer decide whether they want a Carolina style sauce, or southern, etc. The brisket is exceptional. Other than a couple samples I've had at BBQ competitions and in Texas this is great beef. Sounds to me like a lot of P's issues were more a matter of personal taste. Vinegar issues etc. Personally I have issues with overpriced bait, so I stay away from sushi joints. Also, meat will only fall off the bone when it has been overcooked, and if it's overcooked it's going to be mushy. Overall my experience with Chubby's is that it is a very good BBQ joint that features genuine home style cooking that is reasonably priced, in a very unlikely location. (5 minutes from the Mason Dixon Line) I'd be interested to know where Porcupine usually goes for BBQ to have a better perspective. Vayo con Queso
