Snowmageddon 2019 & BBQ

The greater Seattle area had Snowmageddon 2019 over the last week. Jeff and I were stuck in the house for way longer than we liked, but they don’t have the people power to clear the roads like they do back home in the Midwest/on the East coast. It’s a thing that makes us pretty unhappy, but it is what it is and we’d rather stay safe than get into an accident or get stuck somewhere. On the bright side, we got some really pretty (and quite large) icicles on the back of our house.

Back in our food loving world, we were pretty excited to get out of the house to try Jack’s BBQ this weekend with a few friends. For reference, Jeff and I haven’t found many barbecue restaurants we’d actually consider good since we moved to Seattle (we’re barbecue snobs and we admit it) - we were hoping this place would be different. We ordered quite a few things to get a good sampling of the food: pulled pork, a sausage link, brisket, pork ribs, a cup of chili, slaw, and collard greens.

Overall thoughts on the food - the meat was great and sides were ok (full disclosure that we chose keto-ish sides, so the carby ones may have been better!). This is probably the best Texas style barbecue we’ve had in the greater Seattle area. We’ll definitely be back again to try the beef ribs (only available on Tuesdays) in the future - so more to come!
