van nuys: doctor hogly wogly's tyler texas bbq

tommy gets down with some bbq at dr. hogly wogly's in van nuys...


brisket and pork ribs


brisket and hot links
macaroni salad

tommy says: the brisket and hotlinks are tasty! the ribs are good too, but the brisket is where it's at. the sauce is the key to it all with a hint of sweet and a lil kick of spice. the side of mac salad is unnecessary and not that good.

phoenix: bobby q's

tommy gets messy with bbq from bobby q's in blisteringly hot phoenix...


corn bread


smoked link sausage


baby back ribs


jumbo texas beef ribs


smoked beef brisket

tommy says: the brisket was tender, juicy, yummy and the best of everything ordered. the baby back ribs fell off the bone and were solid but didn't blow my mind. the beef ribs were a lil on the chewy/tough side. sausage was quite good. corn bread was ok but could've used whole kernels of corn. the bbq sauce was sweet and could've used a lil bit of heat. overall, yum.

tommy gets messy eating ribs at gale street inn, his last meal in chi-town...


ceviche, spicy crabcake over portobello mushroom


chicken tomatillo soup


full rack bbq ribs and garlic mashed potatoes

tommy says: the ceviche wasn't bad, i wasn't fond of the crabcake though. not much crab, mostly breading and i wasn't feeling the portabello with it. the soup was excellent with a nice kick. ribs were finger-lickin good and mashed potatoes were good too. yuuummmmm...
