El Dorado Dining Guide - 27

BBQ is more than just
a meal in the South
- it's a requirement.
Bark meets the bite.

f you've lived in the South for any amount of time,
chances are you've smelled BBQ. Mouth-waterin',
soul-stirring BBQ. To those of us who grew up down
here, BBQ is a food group unto itself. Put any number
of Southerners in a room to discuss the best way to
BBQ a rack of ribs and you'll get a plethora of answers -
and none of them will be wrong. From the right rub, the
correct temperature, the best wood to use, and how long
to cook them, everyone has their own spin. It's one of the
reasons BBQ is southern to the core but unique from state
to state.
El Dorado is home to several BBQ restaurants. Each tells
a different story, but every one of them is finger-lickin' good.
JJ's BB offers a great variety of lip teasin', palate pleasin'
smoked meat and the uniue offering of a Bloomin' Onion.
Howell's BBQ is known not only for its juicy meat but also
for its collard greens and banana pudding. New to the scene
is Brown's Southern Smoke, where you'll find Burnt Ends
Mac n' Cheese, and fried catfish in addition to the regular
BBQ fare.
Every proprietor of our local BBQ restaurants approaches
the process a little differently, so each of them offers a
uniue avor profile  and they've all gotten it right. isit
one today. You'll be glad you did! p
