    Watched the BBQ episode last night.  Two things I noticed that I have never seen before.  First, is it common to slice chuck ribs like a brisket?  I have only seen where you slice them into individual bones.  The second was when they were sitting around in the room with Lang and you could see his eggs in their table.  Did you notice that the eggs were elevated by the plate setter?  Good use of it if you bought one and switched to CGS piece.

    Also, the original 17th street bbq is legit.  It's in a neighboring town of where I went to college.  It's what I think bbq restaurant should be.  A hole in the wall bar type place that has affordable food that will knock your sock off.  We used to go there every other Friday in college.  They had $1.00 16oz bud light cans on special.

    I saw that platesetter holding the egg also.  I thought it was odd.  I would be afraid the plate setter would crack!   Also, I may be wrong, but it looked like the egg was sitting inside like a piece of furniture or sculpture.  Maybe the table was on wheels and he could role it outside when cooking.

    I was just as surprised as Chang to find out Al Pastor was Lebanese.

    The original murphysboro location of 17th street got hit with a bunch of code violations like thawing meat at room temp and employees not washing hands. The marion location food is better.

    That's too bad.  I never went to the Marion one.  I went to SIU 2003-2007.  Was it open during that time?

    Bumping this because I didn't like the pizza episode but a friend told me it's the weakest episode so I've returned. BBQ one was great - want to try that roast duck so badly! Also found it interesting the way they sliced beef ribs. 

    Really love the relaxed style of the doc - very little talking to camera. No presenter tropes. Just a group of people chatting food. So yeah, I like it - will watch more

    Chicken and BBQ sauce are two things you'll never find on my pies...
    Not my favorite, but every time I do pizzas, I cook 2-4.  At 25-50% are chicken BBQ.  Those are always the favorite of the gallery.  Again, not my favorite, but pretty damn good.

    The very short lived Ofallon location in the old supersmokers SUCKED.  Good thing it closed, because it was a disgrace to their brand.
