What idiot would ride a motorcycle over 250 miles to the north GA mountains just for some BBQ... You know who, this fat bloated retard would. This BBQ joint is way the fuck upstate in Deliveranceville... Wait, or was that Blairsville? What's the fucking difference... If you see more than 3 Dollar Generals within 2 miles of each other you're close, real fucking close to this joint. If you smell ass, you're within a mile of this place. This joint supposedly puts out some very decent BBQ... Well, at least according to the online hillbillies who live up here in the woods. They're only open from Thursday to Saturday and the rumor is that they run out pretty quickly. Shit, if it's that good, I better get my fat ass up here, STAT. The quickest way to upstate GA is on a bike, so, let's get on and ride... But there are no free rides... It's ass, gas or grass. I'll take brisket, pweez...
"You can smell our Butts for Miles!" Ah, fuck yeah, I took a long hard whiff of their ass 3 miles away... But I was down wind, though.
You can get a plate or sando and the limited sides are extras... But this was a very decent looking brisket sando. The bread really surprised me, it's football shaped and soft.
I asked them if they had sliced brisket, they said, that it's so tender that it just falls apart trying to slice it but they will do their best... Instead of getting the plate, I went for the sando. Look at it, it's a big heaping pile of chunky brisket in there... This is a real manmeat sando. The football shape bun was soft and had that consistent golden brown color all around, it was a really nice bun and it was freshly made, also. The brisket was tender, moist, smokey and had the prerequisite smoke ring and bark throughout... This was a very good brisket and they pack as much meat in the bun as they can, the sando was a good deal alone for $6.79. Add another buck for 1 side or 2 sides for $9.79. They have 3 sauces, hot, reg and vinegar based... All of them were kinda thick and sweet and the vinegar one was the same consistency as the other two but with just a hint of vinegar. The hot one was not even a bit spicy but it was the best of the three. But yeah, this brisket was worth the ride up. I had a taste of the pulled pork and that was damn good as well... It was really hand pulled, not all chopped up to hell.
Baked Beans and Brunswick Stew... They don't have mac n cheese just a mac salad which was a bummer and the other sides were basically salad based- coleslaw, tater salad, fries, sweet tater fries, banana pudding, peanut butter pie, and chocolate delight. The baked beans were surprisingly good, a bit sweet, a bit tangy, a bit smokey and a bit toothy. The Brunswick stew was really good, kinda reminds me of my version... Chunky and not too watery or over sauced. It was really nice, I would definitely get it again.... But will have to try their banana pudding next time. And the ribs were mighty fine looking as well... For such a small menu, you still need to make a couple of visits to try everything here.
Fattening up before they go into the smoker...
Can't believe there was no line on a Saturday... The local yokels say there's usually a line around the building. I guess they knew the Pouch was coming... And didn't want to make it mad. You don't want to make the Pouch mad...
Being the nosey motherfucker that the Pouch is, I went around back to look at their set up... They had a giant shelter for their variety of wood and charcoal and they had a few giant smokers going full blast, too. They got their shit together for sure... It shows in their end product. I keep telling my NYC friends that hillbillies are not all retards and they are good for something... Smoking meats until they are fork tender, ultra delicate and melts in your mouth... Then they said, that's because they have no teeth.
Touché, touché... Now, stop being douches and just enjoy their sick manmeats...
