This is not a blog where I describe several courses, going into great detail on each morsel that entered my mouth, well, at least not exactly. This is a blog where I tell you how you should go to McClure’s Barbecue on the corner of Magazine Street and Bordeaux with a friend and order “All Meat & All Sides” and be sure you’re hungry.
With your stomachs grumbling audibly, Owner Neil McClure, or one of his attentive employees, will set before you a virtual trough of goodies which will most likely include juicy pork ribs almost falling off the bone, a heavenly-smoked portion of chicken (breast and thigh), pulled pork, crispy brisket and a plump sausage. This carnivore’s heaven isn’t quite complete if you don’t try one (or five) of over 15 different kinds of BBQ sauce that are lined up against the wall like spice-laden sentinels.
As if that were not enough, you’ll also get Pork & Pork & Beans, a creamy scoop of Four-Cheese Mac, a pile of BBQ Jambalaya, Creole Potato Salad, Molasses-Stewed Collard Greens and a large hunk of Roasted Corn & Jalapeno Cornbread.
John and I enjoyed this feast with relish and, believe it or not, managed to polish off every single bite.
