Woooo Daddy!
We went down to the Renegade craft fair last week, and wanted to tell you quickly about this place called Smoke Daddy on Division between Damon and Ashland. All we have to say about this place is: “damn good”. Lois got the pulled pork sandwich, which came with a whopping plate of fries, and I jumped on the appetizer menu when I saw something called the pulled meat nachos.
Let’s start with the pulled pork sandwich. Now Lois has eaten many, many pulled pork sandwiches in her day and this one ranks in about the 75 or 80th percentile — good flavor, lots of tender meat, not drowning in sauce, and a bun firm enough to absorb the excess BBQ sauce without falling apart (very important). The handcut fries (just one of several side options) were delicious — thin and crispy with a nice seasoning. The sandwich and fries by themselves were more than enough food so Lois was ultimately happy she didn’t order that side of cornbread; it looked amazing, though – a table across the way was furiously feasting on several slices.
Pulled meat nachos. It’s exactly what it says – but giant. This could have easily served four people as an appetizer but worked fine for one person as an entree. Think nachos, with a lot of cilantro, tomatoes, onions, topped with taco bell flavored mild sauce… now imagine under that top layer of nachos, is a layer of pulled pork, more nachos, and under that a handful of slow cooked baked beans with more pulled pork. It was awesome, but don’t make the same mistake I did. Order it as an appetizer with three to four people, not as lunch for one.
We dropped about $25 at this place. Was it worth it? We’re writing about it, aren’t we? Go if you’re in the area but I don’t know if it’s worthy of a planned trip.
