About Jays Smoqued BBQ

From the first time Papa J saw his first open pit barbecue and enjoyed the taste of the meats that It produced; he has been in search of recreating that moment in time that affected him so profoundly. That moment occured over 40 years ago. Papa J took advantage of his military travels to research barbecue. The Phillipines, South Korea, Okinawa Japan and Memphis TN were just a few of the places that Papa J did his research. Asking questions, making observations and taste testing combinations from each of these venues and many more that have not been mentioned. Along this journey Papa J developed a unique process for preparing meat prior to smoking. This preparation and cooking process includes Papa J's secret marinades and rubs that produces some of the best tasting barbecue you've ever had.

Food was great. Bbq sandwiches were great. Ribs very tender and tasty. Bbq nachos were also very good. Only complaint was a little over priced. Smallest serving ever on baked beans. Extra sauce would have also been nice. I would have given 5 stars on food alone.
