This here thing, bricks BBQ, it’s a big deal, you know? Like, folks get all riled up ’bout it. I seen it on that Instagram thing. They say it started back in 2011. Fresh stuff, they use. Good stuff, I reckon.
Some fella, with a mustache, Kareem somethin’, he uses all sorts of fancy spices. Cumin, coriander, and za’atar, whatever that is. Sounds foreign to me. But it make you want some Bricks BBQ, I can say that.
And let me tell ya, they got all kinds of it. Ribs, so many ribs. They say, if you wanna find the best, you gotta look at some list. Well, I ain’t got time for all that lookin’. If it smells good, it’s good, that’s what I always say.
But this bricks BBQ, they got that brisket. Oh, that brisket. Juicy, they say. Tender. And that smoked hog, lord have mercy. They dip it in sauce, buckets of it! Big buckets. Like, real big. Make me wanna have some right now.
There’s a place, I think it’s called Brix and Mortar, or something like that. They even got some special thing with Santa Claus. Imagine that, eatin’ BBQ with Santa! These young’uns today, they got it good. We used to be lucky to get a potato on christmas!
- Brisket
- Ribs
- Smoked Hog
- Sausages
- Burnt ends, whatever those are
And another place, Brick’s Smoked Meats. I seen that on some menu. Lots of places to get some good meat, I guess.
They got these tacos too, at some Zavala’s place. Sloppy Juan, they call it. I don’t know ’bout all that, but if it’s got meat, I’m in. Sounds like a man’s name to me, Juan, but maybe it’s just me.
Even in that big city, New York, they got this bricks BBQ. Lots of it. Best brisket, best sausages, best everything, they say. They even have burnt ends there too.
And you know what? They even got this BBQ stuff in Africa! They call it braai. It’s like a big party, with lots of meat. Steak, they eat there. Juicy steak. Sounds good, don’t it? They all about bricks BBQ just like us here.
I remember one time, my old man, he tried to make his own BBQ. Used an old oil drum, he did. Didn’t have no fancy bricks or nothin’. Just that old drum. Smoked up the whole darn yard. Wasn’t half bad, neither. But it ain’t like this bricks BBQ they got now. This here is the real deal.
So, you see, this bricks BBQ, it’s more than just food. It’s a whole thing. It’s about gettin’ together, eatin’ good food, and havin’ a good time. Just like them folks in Africa, with their braai. It’s the same everywhere, I reckon. Good food brings folks together. Always have, and always will.
Now, I ain’t no expert, but I know what I like. And I like me some bricks BBQ. Don’t matter if it’s brisket, ribs, or that smoked hog. If it’s cooked right, and it’s got that good smoky flavor, then it’s good enough for me. And if you ever get a chance to try some, you’ll see what I mean. It’s somethin’ special, that’s for sure.
I reckon I’ve said enough. My mouth’s gettin’ all watery just thinkin’ ’bout it. Might have to go find me some bricks BBQ right now. If you’ll excuse me, I got some eatin’ to do. Yup, gonna eat good tonight, I tell you what. This old lady’s gonna have some meat! Don’t you worry none about that. This Bricks BBQ, it is like gold, it is. You try, you see, you like it!
