Fluff

First off, porkiness is not a word.  In case you were unaware.  Don’t go flaunting it in front of your friends.  They will not be impressed.

More importantly, let’s get to the meat of this post.  Bad pun intended.  I love barbecue.  Not in a normal way, like “Oh, I really enjoy ribs from the Sizzler.”  In a way that I crave bbq and will go out of my way for it. 

The paternal side of my family is pure Southern (North Carolina/Virginia), so vinegar-based sauce runs through my veins.  I do enjoy some tomato-based sauces, particularly Kansas City-style.  Not so much Texas-style (and really, I don’t like anything from Texas). 

A couple of my favorite Denver BBQ joints:

Famous Dave’s- This chain has really delicious meats (try the ribs) and several sauces to choose from, plus the prices are pretty reasonable for giant, belly-expanding plates of food.

Brickyard BBQ- On the edge of the Highlands neighborhood, this little restaurant serves great ribs, huge sides and fresh Kool-Aid. 

There are still a couple of places I need to try, particularly Yazoo BBQ Co on Broadway.  Any other suggestions are always welcome.

Lastly, if you want to try some of that delicious NC style BBQ, order some up from http://www.kingsbbq.com/
