A pit-master oh yea that's what the man is, smoking low and slow for that bold juicy flavor and topped with his own sauce, which is The Sauce Is The Boss. A Pit-master whose BBQ has warmed the tummies of thousands over the years. The sides are succulent and the Collard Green are the best ever. You just gotta pick up a slab of these ribs. A small eating area inside a gas station that fits perfect…   more ›

Union Woodshop in Clarkston is by far the best-Slows is solid and Bad Brad is weak at times with ribs undersmoked and less than spicy sauces. Woodshop is truly worth the trek-Best regards   more ›

Places where I have eaten lately that made me happy were the new Onassis across Michigan Avenue from the old Tiger Stadium, Island Coney on Grosse Ile and (today) …   more ›
