Boogie's Hit by Fire

I had a taste for barbecue today but all I got was the smoke.....


There's nothing left of the little trailer but the frame and the firebox and smoker itself.

This is really bad news for many of us on the Southwest side who've come to feel Boogie's is the best in town. I was hoping to be able to convene a panel soon to judge Boogie's and Pierson's side-by-side but that will have to wait a while longer.

Boogie said it was just negligence and he will be back in a couple of weeks. The city was due out this week to inspect his new pit, anyway, and it looks to me like the old smoker would be usable if the new one still isn't up to snuff.
