Wildwood Barbeque

Editorial Review

Park Avenue South, y’all. ’Cue craze burns on unabated with latest Stephen Hanson entry. Ex-cop pitmaster "Big Lou" Elrose mixes and matches regional styles, excels with Texas brisket, Carolina pulled pork. Fifty beers, barrels of bourbon, fried jalapeño slices for better stomach-hole burning. Urbane barn interior: David Rockwell channels Uncle Jessie with arcing beams, mismatched chairs, chalkboard specials. Probably costs more than it should, but that’s why you’re expensing this back to the home office in Atlanta.
