Smoke BBQ Delray Beach

A few weeks ago, I received a press release for a new restaurant in the area. The email ended with the question, “Would you like to try some Kansas BBQ?” Yum YEA! Good BBQ is hard to find in South Florida. In our area we have a couple chain BBQ places. I’m not going to say any names, but they’re not BBQ.

I’ve never been to a media event before, so I didn’t know what to expect. When we arrived, we were seated out a large table with a few other bloggers in the area and they’re guest. It was really cool sitting family style, and talking to other bloggers.

We started with drinks. I ordered a Smoke & Rust. It was made with Jim Bean and homemade roasted pineapple syrup. I’m not much of a liquor drinker, and it was a little too strong for me. A few months ago, we watched a show on Esquire about Craft Cocktails, and Smoke BBQ is currently working on increasing their craft menu. We actually got to try a few different homemade infused liquors used in their cocktails.

When we sat down, we noticed a two page menu laying on the table. Huck picked out what he wanted to order, neither of us knowing we would be trying some of everything. First up, the starters:

Smoked BBQ Pulled Chicken Lettuce Wraps {REALLY GOOD!}

With house made Pico de Gallo and Guacamole

Texas Caviar Bean Dip

Black-Eyed Peas, Black Beans, Yellow Corn, Red Pepper, Green Pepper, Red Onion, Celery, Roma Tomatoes, Jalapenos, and Cilantro served with Tortilla Chips.

Fried Parmesan Brussel Sprouts

Everyone at our table loved this, but I thought they had a burnt taste I didn’t enjoy. Neat idea though.

Applewood Smoked Chicken Wings

At this point, we realized we would be sampling a little of everything and I was glad I wore loose fitting jeans. I ordered an All Day IPA while we waited for the main course to come out.

Sides:

Cilantro and Jalapeno Potato Salad {My favorite from the night! SO GOOD}

Sweet Cornbread with Cinnamon Butter

Grandma’s Mac n’ Cheese

Then they sat a HUGE plate of meat right in front of me.

16 Hour Beef Brisket, 12 Hour Pulled Pork, St. Louis Style Pork Ribs, Smoked ½ Chicken, and Smoked Turkey Breast

I’m a fan of smoked turkey, and theirs was perfect. Really everything was great. Brisket is hit or miss for me, and I thought this was a little too chewy, but Huck had no problem eating the rest of mine.

Once the plates for the main course were taken away, we met the chef and he told us about himself, the restaurant, and how a Kansas boy ended up in Florida.

 

Last on the menu, dessert.

Mud in a Jar

Chocolate flourless cake, ice cream, and house made caramel sauce.

I actually didn’t know this cake was flourless until now. It tasted like regular cake.

Banana Coconut Cream Pudding

Homemade coconut cream pudding, fresh bananas, Nilla wafers, whipped cream, and caramelized bananas.

The caramelized sugar on the bananas made them taste like candy, and the coconut cream pudding was really good.

It was a great meal and was really fun meeting new bloggers in the area.

If you’re in Delray and want to try some legit BBQ and craft beer or craft cocktails, I highly recommend you try Smoke BBQ. And make sure you get the Potato Salad and Lettuce Wraps.
