BBQ in New Orleans at The Joint

img 0613 150x150 BBQ in New Orleans at The JointNew Orleans isn’t exactly known for its BBQ.   That said, The Joint in the Bywater neighborhood is dishing up the best the city has to offer.

The place is a little off the beaten path especially for those not familiar with the area but the end result well worth it.  The Joint started smoking in 2004 and has been serving the some of the best BBQ in the city ever since then.

From the outside of the restaurant you can smell the delectable smoke of the meats being prepared.  This alone is enough to make your stomach start turning in excitement and anticipation of what awaits inside.

The interior of the establishment is quite small with around ten tables for customers to enjoy the BBQ offerings. That said, just outside on the “patio” offers more seating.  This is also where the magic takes place in the form of smoker which is churning out the delicious BBQ that The Joint is serving up.  You order your BBQ at the counter once inside and then sit wherever you’re content while waiting in anticipation for the food to arrive.

For some reason or another, Minden seems to have a lot of them and the highest rated one out of all of them was Neta’s Drive Inn, so off I went.

Bergeron’s in Port Allen for smoked meats and pulled pork!

 Bergerons in Port Allen for smoked meats and pulled pork!Bergeron’s Boudin and Cajun Meats in Port Allen is just across the Mississippi River from downtown Baton Rouge and LSU. What was once a little shack along Hwy. 415 now is a little shack with a big dining hall next to it, but I wouldn’t know what the inside of the new building looks like as the original shack has everything I need and more. Smoked sausages, boudin and freshly fried tasty treats like boudin balls and meat pies await you inside, and if you’re lucky, they might just have a stack of their aluminum foil wrapped pulled pork sandwiches sitting on the counter beckoning to you.
