Toyomafia - The Clubhouse. 151.880

Coming from someone that designs and builds these, very impressive.
Intuitive design and the cedar sets it off.

 

Apple and Pear fed fat pigs...

Always good to marinate during the feeding process.

 

Authenticity requires a pile of wood out back, paper towels, a squeaky front door, old wooden tables with one random restaurant booth from somewhere else, white bread, a couple of black and white pictures on the walls that isn’t really a picture of anything or anyone that is known by the owners and years and years of built up greasy foot traffic on the floor that couldn’t be gotten up with a 5000psi pressure washer.

However, if it’s good, I say, eat it up.

 

It's super regional and in Canada, truly good BBQ is rarer than hen's teeth. I would say for a start, chain restaurants are out. Montana's, Tony Romas and the like are not BBQ. A real BBQ place has to be independently owned and make food from scratch themselves. A real smoker working away out back is a requirement too. Most places I've seen in Canada either bake or slow-cook food then add liquid smoke or char with a torch, maybe toss it on the grill top. It's not truly barbecued, it's a poor simulation.

Hard pass on the collard greens for me, though I agree with the sentiment. I require in-house made cornbread to consider a BBQ joint to be authentic.

 

Noice!!

I’m a little jelly.

 

If you’re talking about thin fried corn bread I’m with you. Baked corn bread sucks.

 

I've never tried thin fried corn bread. I must discover this delicacy. Baked, especially in a smoker or over a campfire, is my favorite.

 

I suspect this place is too new to be authentic, then. It's damn good, though, and the pecan pie is to die for.

 

There is this other good spot right by work that we frequent, they make stupid breakfast burritos and supposedly bagels as well! But a month or so ago we went to get lunch and after I ordered, I faintly made out “special” thru the plexiglass barricade, and it read the most delightful bbq nacho special.
When my number was called, I asked/gently told the owner, no one can see your specials, I totally would have gotten the nachos if I would have been able to see them(special board no where near the regular menu let alone behind dimly lit plexi)
He didn’t really have a answer other than nachos were every Wednesday………..
Guess where the specials are listed now?
Right below the regular menu with the full week listed left to right.

 

When are you coming camping with us?

 

I’m partial to the fried cornbread because I was pretty much raised on it. My Mom used to make it just about every day. You just take some corn meal, water, and a dash of milk, mix it together and cook it like a giant pancake. Seriously good stuff.

 

I'm pretty sure MEAT actually smokes their stuff. If you're ever in the shitty city, you should check it out.

 

Pecan pie is the only pie worth eating.

 

I'm in SoCal, so long as I can wing a few of the locals in the knee... double jeopardy for the zommies

 

Y’all ever had Indian fry bread?!
There are even establishments that make tacos with them!!!

 

Any time bro!

I'm trying this on my next days off.

Which shitty city? They're all shitty!

Not sure when I'll get to Deadmonton again but I'll add it to the to-do list.

Pecan pie is amazing, but apple pie on a brisk fall day with a glass of bourbon while watching football? Tough to beat...

 

Gonna need a name...

 

There an Indian lady who posts up at our camping spot up in showlow and I deliberately do not eat the entire day hoping that she will be there when I pull up. Fried bread tacos and fried bread burritos are bomb!

 

Kiss of smoke, right on plumer by Tusd bus yards, once he sells out he closes haha it great.
But also check out boulevard bbq on speedway east of craycroft, everything is great, the brisket chili is bomb!
Fuck brushfire bbq, that’s right, I said it!

 

I should add you also need a bit of bacon grease in the pan. Let me know how it turns out.

 

I knew you two could relate. there used to be a good spot on grande and st Mary’s but it’s gone, and supposedly one by Pueblo high school but I’ve never tried

 

“He chose poorly”?

 

While good pecan pie is outstanding, many other equally good pies exist.

 

This is similar to discussing crawdad shacks. There’s not a single chain restaurant that has a clue about how to fix and present crawdads.
If you’ve never driven through the gulf areas and stopped for 15lb of mudbugs, you have been living a pathetic and wasted life.

 

Haha. I was finishing the chimney. I can cook tho

 

I kind of assumed so. Everything needs bacon grease!

 

Full disclosure my neighbor used to build timber frames. I was the helper

 

I respectfully disagree but I live pretty much in the middle of the pecan capital of the world.

 

Pecans and peaches from ur way are the best.
