resturant review

[ghini]

I had dinner at Fox Brothers BBQ last night with some friends.  It was good.  Really good.

I got the pulled pork and sliced brisket plate.  Both were tasty.  Both were not too heavily flavored, and when sauced, were excellent.  The sauce, BTW, is a perfect balance of sweet, sour and spicy.

For an appetizer, we got "the Tomminator":  A pile of tater tots covered in Brunswick Stew and melted cheese.  It was delicious.

But the whole reason for this post, is the sides.  I got collard greens and mac and cheese.  Honestly, both of them were probably the best I have ever had at any BBQ joint ever.  Seriously.  My only experience with the Brunswick stew was between tots and cheese, but it was also excellent.  Tom got the cole slaw and said it was also excellent.

I'm considering going back and ordering the "4 sides" vegetarian plate.  They're that good.

Did you see that "1,400 calories, 90 grams fat (56 grams saturated)" part? You will not make me feel guilty about trying to make it a little less death-inducing. Plus, like I said, it's still yummy. Sharp cheddar and parmesan, duh.

Of course I did! And I taste every single calorie and gram of fat! And it is delicious.

Have you tried Alton Brown's stovetop Mac and Cheese? It's in my top 3 of all time. It's got a ton of butter, eggs and cheese in it, but I'm betting it is still under 1400 calories a serving.

He also makes deep fried mac and cheese in that episode, but I haven't gone there yet.
