Wow! sauce with NO sugar? I wonder if it contains splenda? Will have to order some of that.
By the way, if anyone is hungry for bbq in southern florida where i am right now, there is a place in Lake Worth and another in Boynton Beach called Park Avenue BBQ (sign reads PA BBQ). They serve baby back ribs which are pretty darn good, along with bbq sandwiches – ham, pork, brisket. I think you can get half a chicken also. And, get this, on Mondays (as of now) all day you can get a FULL SLAB of baby backs, 2 sides and a corn muffin for $10.99. Such a deal! The half slab dinner is $8.99 and I can barely finish it….so the full slab is lunch and a take home dinner for me. Sides include mashed potatoes which are quite good, potato salad, slaw, collards, fries, and others I forget.
Re the post on JTs in the pgh area. Looks like a great place. The only problem (in my opinion) with BBQ in Pittsburgh is that open pits are not allowed. At least they weren’t back in the late 70’s. They have to smoke the meat in closed ovens with all kinds of filters due to pollution restrictions. That changes the way the meat cooks and I just don’t think it’s as good as open pit bbq. As I recall…and it’s been a long while.. it seems a bit too smokey and moist.
