Vulgar Display of Poutine Food Truck!

Image
I�m not going to lie. I attended the event described in the above flier because of the two top billed acts. I knew two things: it was to support the former Off With Their Heads Drummer�s new food truck venture, and that I�d be getting drunk listening to music I love. I didn�t even know what the hell a �Pop-up� was. I was excited to see the play on the Pantera album �Vulgar Display of Power.� AND I got deliciously more than I bargained for. After a few whiskeys, I began to wonder when the food truck (�round back, I assumed) would be open for business. The bartender explained that all I had to do is put in an order, and my poutine would be brought to me. Glorious. After looking over the menu, it wasn�t an easy choice. I�m a poutine snob. I�ve had the good, the bad, and the mediocre. I�ve had poutine IN Canada. I almost went for traditional �The Regular� poutine. And though I�m sure it would have been phenomenal, I�m happy I didn�t. Once I saw the word PASTRAMI, there was no stopping me. ...

Soulfire BBQ in Allston, MASS!

Image
Quite recently I was disturbed to see a review for a hoity-toity, highfalutin, what-in-tarnation-the-dang-heck-is-this vegetarian bistro on our site. I could barely bring myself to read it, afraid that some kind of traumatic brain injury had suddenly afflicted Josh that would only become more apparent as I read on. Before I did, I decided to head out to my local meat shack in sunny Allston, MA, in a hasty attempt to regain credibility with our dear readers. Later I actually read his review and was actually quite pleased to see its meager C- rating. I should�ve known Josh wouldn�t have let me down like that! But at least the experience got me out to try a place in my �hood I�ve wanted to try out for a few months now. Ladies and gents, I present Soulfire BBQ. I�ll start by saying this- if this review sways you to check the place out, you need to walk to it on the side street behind it. Not only will you avoid the riff-raff on one of the grungiest streets of Allston, Harvard Ave, you can ...

Goody Cole's Smokehouse! Authentic Pit BBQ

Image
Depending on where you are in the country, the term "Smokehouse" might mean something completely different from one another. I'll leave my fellow FGFB brother living in the unshackled free state of Washington to handle those ones, but me, for now, will deal with another kind of smoke. One that makes meats taste out of this world, and makes you want to gorge yourself until you can't think straight........uhhhhh Welcome, my friends, to Goody Cole's .   Located in the small town of Brentwood,NH, about halfway between Manchester and Rochester, Goody Cole's Smokehouse sits annoyingly far away, but when you pull in you wonder how is this place so packed at 2 in the afternoon? You walk in, seating is an issue, so it's good to have another member of your crew be on table watch while you're in line to order. The decor is folky, complete with license plates littering the ceiling and walls. claaaaaaaaaaaaaasssssic They have varying degrees of simple BBQ plates, ...
