Oh' Mazing Potatoes and 'Que

This new food truck is currently parking near the corner of Rhodes and 2920.  I am a huge fan of 'que so I had to stop and give this a try.  For me, barbecue is all about the meat, so this time around I got the four-meat plate to give it all a fair try.

Sausage: They serve a firm smoked sausage with excellent flavor, very much enjoyed it.
Ribs: A very generous portion of meaty ribs with a great smoke on them.  Not falling-off-the-bone tender but ate very well.
Chicken: A nice large dark quarter with very tasty skin and a good smoke through the meat.  Not super moist but not dry either, a good in between.
Brisket: I know, you're saying "what about the king of BBQ meats"?  I would say the brisket hit both ends of the spectrum.  I had some nice moist cuts with wonderful smoked flavor through the fat.  Again not quite fork tender but definitely worth eating.  I did get a piece of the bark that was too big and hard to be edible.

So the theme of the meat would be great flavor, good but not great texture.  

I didn't go with classic sides--I had the corn and the broccoli rice casserole.  Both were somewhat forgettable, loose corn and kind of middling gooey broccoli rice. I would try the classics next time.

Closing on a high note--the sauce was absolutely amazing, some of the best I have ever had.  The sauce complements all the meats perfectly, and turns them into wonderful sandwiches for leftovers.  I got four generous portions of sauce, one for each meat, and I didn't use it all so I have a nice container of sauce for my home 'que.  This could be bottled and sold.

All in all very worthwhile and I wish them well.  I'll try the potato next time.
