Phil's BBQ in Hog City

Last night we watched "Restaurant Makeover" on the Food Network and saw this restaurant.

Although the "makeover" was crap, we saw how delicious the bbq looked. That and the owner Phil Nyman seemed like a really nice guy.

So today we went over to investigate.

Sure enough the inside of the restaurant was just as the makeover TV show had designed it, and it was crap! Also the special "additions" to the menu were no where to be seen. Not surprising since they sucked. Usually Restaurant Makeover really does a nice job of redesigning lame restaurants and improving the menue, but they really didn't do much for Phil's. Phil's was perfect before they redesigned it.

Anyways, on to the food.

Dammmmmmnnnn! It was the best restaurant ribs I ever had. They were slow smoked for four hours and seasoned with love and spice. Other restaurant ribs I've had were overkilled with strong bbq sauces or were tough or had that gross porky taste from being under cooked.

Phil's ribs were soft and moist on the inside, but crisp like bacon on the outside. The spice was tasty without over powering the flavour of the pork. The homemade sauce was a nice touch, but the ribs were tasty enough without it. Delicious. If you don't believe me, then believe the line up out the door the whole time I was there.

To go with the ribs there were baked beans, coleslaw, fries, hush puppies, slow smoked pulled pork, and an ice cold beer. Awesome.

Problem now is that I ate too much pig. I ate like a pig. Now I am a pig. Oink, oink, snuff, squeeeeeee, squeeeeee!
