Red Hot & Blue

(this joint is in Joplin, MO)

Not gonna give ‘em a piggie rating ‘cuz RH&B does far more southern cuisine than ‘Q. 

Sampling the brisket, pulled pork, and sausage we found…

Brisket and pulled pork was tender, but lightly smoked.  No significant smoke ring or bark. 

Sausage was a very odd concoction – medium grind (we prefer coarse) with some aromatics that almost hinted of Italian sausage, but not quite.  (We do NOT like Italian sausage in bbq joints.)

I was headed to Lumpy’s BBQ and pulled into RH&B on a whim.  RH&B dishes some lovely southern fare, but I’m guessing Lumpy’s is the place for Q in Joplin.
