    not only that, but we have a fryer and make them fresh every day.... with a new and better "farm slaw" - really good flavor and we moved veg prep in house (same slaw as Budlong)... and rotating sausages (some housemade, not just Mikeska (sorry tim)

    The new menu has been posted.
    https://media.wix.com/ugd/54a698_36dd28 ... 0a30dd.pdf

    Among the new items.
    Smoked bone in chicken by the half and smoked-fried wings
    Rib tips
    Chopped brisket option
    Rib option of St. Louis or full spare

    Questions for Jared

    Beef ribs not on menu, Will they be a regular special?
    Do the entrees come with anything? No mention on the menu.
    Did you 86 the home made sodas aside from Root Beer?
    What are the serving sizes on the two and three meat options?

    Suggestions

    For the two Meat and three Meat I find the "Choice of ribs $2" to be just a little ambiguous. If I were king I would include the ribs on the left hand list with + $2 next to them.

    If I were emperor I would only have one meat list for the Two and Three meat. As it's exactly the same list it makes the customer do more work then needed.

    Finally, please don't allow me to order one of everything tonight.

    We have beef ribs today - just for you in fact ;) (well I have 5 bones)
    we haven't decided 100% if it will be an everyday thing, it's gonna be a supply/demand thing - after today we're going to serve them as a Friday special, then grow from there.. only way I can do it without having leftovers - and leftovers would either mean 1) charge more for the ribs we sell or 2) serve re-thermed product which I refuse to do
    homemade sodas were delicious, but we expanded our kitchen (for the bigger menu) and we lost some room at the server station to make the sodas. we also took out our soda fountain, so for drinks we have: fresh brewed sweet tea, iced tea, lemonade, and 100% cane sugar sodas (in bottles). Coca Cola, Squirt, Hank's Orange Cream.. We also have our root beer on tap.
    entrees come with farm slaw
    see you tonight

    Jared, just a thought in terms of leftovers. A BBQ place I visited in the south instead of "re-therming" product, would use the leftovers and each morning serve Brisket breakfast Tacos and Burritos, mixed with eggs and potatoes. Sometimes other product such as sausage or chopped beef too. It was all sold on a "here until gone" basis, which most mornings meant get there early if you really wanted some. Very reasonably priced at like $1.75ea.

    I actually had a discussion with the owner. He said the idea for the breakfast items started not just because there was product that he didn't want to serve re-heated, but also because there was always staff prepping and cooking meats for the days lunch meals anyway, and it was a way to reduce waste and increase profits without a lot of added effort or expense. They still estimate the amount of product needed on any given day, and they do not "cook extra" just so there will be leftovers for the next days breakfast. He said there are plenty of days when there is not a ton of leftovers, so the morning run is short.

    Cabbagehead and I just had a nice supper at the BBQ Supply Co., aka Rub's Backcountry, aka Rub BBQ. The room looks open and airy now but retains the rustic barn wood and whitewashed brick--very nice. Food was excellent. I tried the smokehouse salad (lettuce mix, roasted corn, black beans, juicy and fresh grape tomatoes, cukes, and topped with a generous (for extra $2) amount of chopped brisket. I know, who goes to eat a salad at a BBQ place, but it appealed on the menu, although I went in determined to try the Waygu brisket burger. Cabbagehead had the rib tips, which we hadn't tried before, and he was very happy with them. Side order of the pit beans is a given, still as good as ever. The delicious smoked potato chips and housemade pickles were still provided as we sat down. Very glad to have this place, whatever its name is now, in the neighborhood!

    To put this in perspective, the beef ribs at BBQS sell for $25 lb which comes out to about $38 per bone.

    Current beef rib forecast: Top 1/3 Choice PAB 123A Beef Plate, Short Ribs, Trimmed. Available Fridays at BBQ Supply Co.. I'll be loading the first round into the smoker between 530-6am, so a few will be ready for lunch, more for dinner. Current price = $25/bone. Bones are about 1.5 lbs. ScottSol - I owe you a bone on the house, I lowered the price the day after you bought yours (let me know if you're stopping by tomorrow soI can save you one). Going forward, we'll see what the demand is.. Until futher notice, Fridays lunch and dinner - until gone @ $25/bone. Available for advance purchase through Tock.. jk :lol:

    In honor of the outstanding half Chicken and beef rib served last night I hereby donate the following tag lines to BBQ Supply Co.

    I'd take a lickin' to eat that chicken

    You'll need a bib to eat that rib

    You'll jump out of your seat when you taste that meat

    You'll let out a sigh when you taste that thigh

    You can't be neat and eat that meat

    It would be absurd to not order that bird

    The bones you'll be pickin', to get all of that chicken

    I've got a new belief, there's God in that beef

    Don't make be beg, give me a leg

    I'd tell a big fib to get hold of a rib

    I met a couple of friends here last night. Arrived around 7:30 and had a short wait for a table. Solid service all around.

    Jared was also kind enough to set aside a beef rib for me last night, and it was absolutely perfect in terms of seasoning (including smoke) and cooking. A gigantic piece of meat, I took some of the rib home. This am, sliced some off, placed on a toasted Whole Foods Baguette (rubbed in a little of the resulting, rendered beef fat) . . . breakfast of champions. I still have a little bit left too!

    Smoked potato chips are always a great starter. Really enjoyed the potato salad but love the cornbread. I also like the mac & cheese much more these days. The last few times I've had it the truffle oil has been dialed back to where I can't notice it, and it doesn't need it -- really good. My friends both had pulled pork and enjoyed it a lot too.

    Yup, for some time large groups have been able to preorder meals, not only in terms of the dishes but to ensure the meats were fresh from the smoker . My recollection was that this was available for groups of eight or more.
