Two Bros BBQ Market

Two Bros BBQ Market
12656 West Ave
San Antonio, TX



Two Bros is nestled in a shady oak grove just off to the side of the road. An inviting patio area complete with kiddie yard looked great for parties and hanging out but not in this 100+ heat.



Went for the Two Bros special: brisket, pork ribs, pulled pork & sausage with slaw and beans for the 2 sides. I was compelled to try the mac and cheese as well to complete the protein charged carb enriched experience.



First the chicken thigh, smokey, nicely seasoned, dark semi-crispy skin. Wow this chicken was great! Moist and delicious.
The sausage had a nice spiciness with good meat and not too much fat, quite tasty.



Brisket next... Hmmm, nice looking smoke ring & crust but the outer taste was a bit of an acrid, fumey sort of smoke flavor. The smoke didn't seem to work it's way into the meat though so not much flava in there.

Pork spare rib... Hmmm, not much going on there either. A little dry but tender just not much flavor.



The pulled pork... Yea baby! Tasty, moist and tender.

A trilogy of sauces original, sweet & spicy. Vinegar/mustard based, pretty good.

Now the beans, I was hit with a tinge of citrus with bits of bacon peaches, that's right peaches! Tasty.

Slaw was tangy, the mac 'n cheese was good 'n creamy.

All in all, disappointed in the brisket rib department but the chicken and sausage were yummy and the pulled pork was a real winner.

Rudy's Country Store and Bar-B-Q, The Worst Bar-B-Q in Texas

No BBQ blog would be complete without Rudy's. This is a San Antonio favorite and many of the people who visit from around the world agree. The Brisket is the highlight at Rudy's.











Rudy's also has Chicken, Turkey, Sausage, Ribs and chop which is a mixture chopped in sauce.

Rudy's is also known for their creamed corn which is to die for. Sides also include potatoe salad, slaw, pickles and jalapenos. Cobbler and Blue Bell Ice cream for dessert.









Rudy's also has great atmosphere as it is part of a gas station.

The BBQ here is so good I don't use the sauce although it is also very good. Got a kick to it.
There are several Rudy's throught the San Antonio area so check it out when you are in town.

BBQ Kitchen - Atlanta

As a road warrior I am on a constant search for good BBQ. I was in Atlanta this past week, I was waiting on my coworker to arrive I fired up Urban Spoon and found "The BBQ Kitchen" in the College Park Neighborhood of Atlanta.

Barbecue Kitchen offers some very affordable lunch specials, for around $8.00 you can choose an Entree, and 3 Sides. They offered a ton of sides ranging from the standard Coleslaw and Potato salad to some of my favorites from home including Fried Eggplant and something that I have never seen in a Restaurant before, Cucumbers and Onions. I remember this dish fondly from Home and the Barbecue Kitchen lived up in this regard. I chose the BBQ Pork, Fried Eggplant, Coleslaw and Cucumbers & Onions. The BBQ pork was kinda dry and the sauce was tomato based and wasn't as smoky and spicy as I normally prefer. The Sides are really the highlight at Barbecue Kitchen which isn't a good thing for a BBQ place.
