Maw Maw?s Country Kitchen Opens in Baytowne Wharf

[SHELLY]

The Maw Maw's place reminds me of a Po-folk's and does seem a little out of character in Baytowne.

Are the drinks served in Mason jars too?

There is no good BBQ in Louisiana unless you do it yourself! Po-Folks does have pretty good fried chicken. It passes my fried chicken litmus test-it takes a long time to get it to the table. Fried chicken takes a long time to do correctly, so if you have it come right out, you can bet it was sitting under an orange lightbulb :roll:

I didn't realize LA didn't have their own BBQ - I guess they have everything else that is just to die for.

IMO, Florida ranks pretty low on the BBQ map too. We like it bama style...

Oh gosh, north Florida BBQ is in the wonderful pseudo-Carolina style you find in Alabama and Georgia that I love so much. Nothing wrong with Memphis, St Louis or Texas (please don't start the BBQ wars which are second in acridity to only Shelly and any bullish person debating economics )I just like the hillbilly style :clap_1: .

Keeping my fingers clear of the keyboard this time. Can't believe I was referred to as a "BBQ snob".

I saw bbq mentioned and it's funny, my husband was craving bbq the whole time we were down there and it seemed like every block or so there was a bbq place. But he refused since pork is usually the speciality and ,living just next door to Texas, bbq to us is beef and spicy, not sweet like the Carolina style. We went to Jim and Nick's last year and didn't quite like it. I guess we are Texas bbq snobs just because that is what we are used to. Something about crossing that border into Texas makes the "q' taste better.

Down here we have BBQ joints about every 10 miles on average. B'ham and other southern cities have BBQ on every block.

Carolina style is mustard based (north) or vinegar based (south). Sweet sauce is prevalent throughout the south, and probably anywhere you find BBQ. I find Jim & nick's at Sandestin inedible. The one in B'ham is probably good or it wouldn't survive. There is a lot of good BBQ in B'ham to compete with.

I would love to write one of those books about BBQ across America, but I just ate some and I'm too full so I think I'll just read about it.

Jim and Nick's is the only only restaurant in SoWal where I had a horrible, horrible meal and experience. The only place in 6 years! I will Never recommend them to anyone.

Send me some money for about four lunches and I will be your ginnea pig and give you a full critique. Often, it is best to try a place 3 or 4 times, sampling the menu and making sure that they weren't lucky, or having a bad day, prior to giving a full review. I would guess about $50 will cover the four visits.;-)
