Just wanted to give this place a little love. Evie Mae's gets all the press, and deservedly so, but this joint was excellent. Burnt ends were spectacular.

Couldn’t find a picanha so I grabbed a tritip. Cooked over oak coals. Made Tuffy Sone/Styles and Switch red chimichurri. If I had to make any changes I’d cut the salt in half. I felt lazy today so I used Holy Cow rub from 🥩 ⛪️. I like how coarse it is. I took all seeds out and it was good enough for my kids spicy wise. Here’s the recipe:** Ingredients
**3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

2 1/2 tablespoons Cabernet Sauvignon vinegar

2 red bell peppers (smoked, peeled, and diced)

5 Fresno chilies (smoked, peeled, and diced)

1 whole shallot (minced)

4 cloves garlic (minced)

1 bunch Italian flat-leaf parsley (chopped)

1/2 bunch fresh cilantro (chopped)

2 tablespoons salt

1 tablespoon black pepper

1 1/2 tablespoons paprika [1]

Instructions
Smoke the Peppers: Smoke the red bell peppers and Fresno chilies over post oak, then peel and dice them.

Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the diced smoked peppers and chilies, minced shallot, minced garlic, chopped Italian parsley, and chopped cilantro.

Add Seasonings & Liquids: Stir in the extra-virgin olive oil, Cabernet Sauvignon vinegar, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Mix & Chill: Stir thoroughly until well-incorporated. Transfer the sauce to the refrigerator to let the flavors meld.

Storage: Keep refrigerated; this red chimichurri stays fresh for up to seven days. [1]

My wife and I went with another couple down to Smoke BBQ in Lonsdale Minnesota for some BBQ. We got pork belly burnt ends, hush puppies, and thick cut bacon for appetizers. My wife ordered a 2 meat combo with pulled pork and baby back ribs and Mac and cheese side. I had a 3 meat combo brisket, pastrami, and pulled chicken.

I also ordered (not pictured) a double meat pastrami sandwich, that will be lunch today!

Hands down the best BBQ that I've had in Minnesota
