New Favorite Smokehouse

Posted by Foobooz on July 9th, 2009

Trey Popp is a Southerner and doesn’t bestow BBQ praise lightly but Bebe’s Barbecue has him singing.

The pork is moist yet deeply smoky, dressed with a zippy tomato-based vinegar sauce, and piled on a toasted hamburger bun in such a heap that a single pre-airport sandwich kept me going for 16 hours of sleepless and snackless travel. The fresh collards, flavored sublimely with liquid smoke rather than ham hocks, are tender but not at all mushy.

With meat this expertly smoked and hospitality this genuine, Bebe’s is set to become my biggest temptation on a street teeming with them

    I’ve had Bebe’s Q and heartily endorse it. However, they could up their game considerably by having creamy cole slaw available.

    Is this article implying that they use liquid smoke for their greens? Liquid smoke can not be sublime. It’s wood bong water.
