ah, finally a thread i can sink my teeth into! i consider myself fortunate to live less than a mile away from redbones. i'm not a big fan of what i consider "texas-style" barbecue, because its sugary sauce is too sweet for my taste. i prefer southern style: dry-rub, slow-cooked, with a more vinegary sauce. upstairs at redbones is decorated with great b&w photos of barbecue joints and blues musicians. the decor downstairs, referred to as "underbones," could be described as "rec room on acid." it's a hoot! btw, redbones claims to be the first restaurant in the nation to offer valet parking for your bike: for take-out, i also rcommend the blue ribbon diner, with two locations: newton and arlington. great meat, great prices, and as much sauce as you want. once again, a thousand thanks to whoever told me about smoke daddy's in chicago. if you're in that city and plan to go to dusty groove, you've got to check them out. they're only several blocks away. great food, attractive and pleasant waittresses, and live music later in the evening. god, i'm so hungry now!
