Howdy Ho!

Didn't like his ribs? I ate everyone I could get my hands on! I even packed up a rack to take home to the wife, along with a half rack for the trip home! What's he talking about! 8^)

I'm telling you now, Belly. That boy can cook! He taught me more in a few days than I have learned on my own in years! What he taught me, pretty much did away with about 60% of what I thought I knew about Q. The man is the real deal when it comes to BBQ. I don't think that anyone on the list really has a clue as to just what he does. I think that because he operates out of a DQ they discount his abilities. Man are they ever in for a shock!

One morning while I was there, I started crunching some numbers, just to get an idea of how much Q he serves. We figured out that with his over the counter orders along with the special orders that come in, he's Qing over 1600 pounds per week, annually! That's a bunch of meat my friend! That's enough meat to feed every man, woman, and child in the city of Carlsbad over 3 pounds of meat a year! How many of the folks on the list do you think could produce those kinds of numbers? I'd be surprised if even ol' Rick Day could come close to those numbers. And all of this comes out a DQ. A DQ that doesn't even advertise anywhere on the outside of the building the fact that they even serve Q! The man is awesome!

I drove home in some pretty bad winds that made for an interesting drive for sure. They flat out wore me out! I've spent most of today sleepin' and dreamin' about Danny's ribs!

I don't know if you tried his glaze that he posted a while back, but if you haven't, you're really missing out. It really lights up those ribs! I'll tell ya the truth here, Belly. I've been samplin' every Q joint that could for months now, just to get a taste of what people are buyin'. And honestly, I told myself on more than just a few occasions that I thought that I could do better than what was being sold here or there. There were some places that were pretty good, too. But in all of those months, I never came across a place that made me think that I could never do better than they could, until I tried Danny's. His Q made me question myself as to whether or not I should still pursue a Q biz! I just couldn't believe how good his stuff was, and I knew that I was no where close to being as good, and probably never would be! So why go on? If Danny had not have taken the time to show me what he does, and explain why he does it, I honestly may not have gone on. But he showed me that the way that he does things is just not that hard! In fact, compared to how most of us go about Qing, Danny's way is a walk in the park! What can I say? The man in my BBQ Idol!

Thanks for the note, and I'm looking forward to telling y'all about the pit as I learn more about it.
