The main objective of this blog when it started was to do restaurant reviews and discuss issues that effected restaurants locally, like the smoking ban. However, after altercations with some person while working at GFS who thought me working there was a conflict of interest and now that I am working at a restaurant, this philosophy changed.
However, I have to give props. I was out near Grand Prairie Mall today and needed to hit the CEFCU 24 machine. I noticed that the little coffee shop behind Pier 1 and in front of Gander Mountain is now a joint called The Meat-N-Place. Ok, little locally owned joint, got to check it out.
I had the Caribbean BBQ sandwich with fries. I'm not going into great detail here, but it was a really good sandwich. The shredded pork was juicy and tender with a definite sweet & savory spice profile with a touch of heat. It was topped with a slightly creamy cole slaw and BBQ Sauce. Next time, no BBQsauce as it masked the pork's flavor. The fries were fries with something resembling Lawry's sprinkled on them.
While it was really good, I don't see me driving across town again for one, but if I'm in the area, a definite repeat....with no BBQ Sauce.
On that note, The Smo-King Pit is still the bomb and my choice of BBQ joints (if only he served icy cold Sam Adams!).

I'm often in that area, I'll definitely stop by and try the sandwich (minus the BBQ, LOL.)
