Foodie Alert:: Zingerman's BBQ Dinners
Jun. 22nd, 2010 10:39 amThere is a restaurant in North Carolina called The Pit.
They have some of the best damn barbecue on the planet. I am going there at least once during NASFiC. The pit master, Ed Mitchell, defeated Bobby Flay during one of Flay's celebrated "throwdowns".
He's also the guy who taught the folks at Zingerman's, here in Ann Arbor, how to make whole-hog barbecue.
Well, sir, in two weeks he's coming back. He's gonna spend three days preparing the food for True 'Cue: Zingerman's Fifth Annual BBQ Buffet.
Tuesday, July 6, and Wednesday, July 7, 7:00-10:00 p.m. Menu the same both nights. $45.00. Just click on that link above and look at that menu.
What do you like at a barbecue? I love Zing's whole-hog pulled pork. Their dry ribs are fantastic. Same on both counts with Red Hot & Blue, with an additional shout out for their sausage (the sausage & cheese appetizer platter is an excellent thing to share). A good beef brisket is nice, and the Southeastern chain Sonny's has very good shredded beef. Chicken doesn't do as much for me, but I won't turn it away. Baked beans are a must; good cole slaw as well, though less so. Sauteed greens are appreciated. And corn bread and sweet biscuits. And some banana pudding (with real vanilla wafers only, please) to finish it off.
