Oh Snap! Let's Eat!

Smoked Pork Plate at Cue

Cue is this restaurant I found in the Alpahretta area of Georgia.  The first time I’ve ever gone there, the food was good but I didn’t remember it well as I didn’t really have BBQ ever back then.  Now that I’ve had lots of yummy BBQ, I can vouch that this place is seriously delicious.  (Even Yelp agrees!)

Just take a look at this stuff (Warning:  May Cause Hunger!!):

Smoked Pork (chopped), Brunswick Stew, Campfire Butternut Squash

This is the Smoked Pork plate that I like to order (menu).  The plates come with your choice of two sides.  What I LOVE is they have these “Seasonal Vegetable” that I’m not sure if they change every day or every week, but so far every order of it has been great!

The Seasonal Veggie on this plate is the Campfire Butternut Squash.  It is made SO well, and reminds me of sweet potatoes because it is perfectly sweet and tender.  If you ever visit, and they have this as the Seasonal Veggie, GET IT!

From another visit at Cue, I ordered the same plate, but the season veggie of the day was fried okra:

Smoked Pork (Chopped), Brunswick Stew, Fried Okra

The fried okra was yummy but nothing too different from fried okras from other restaurants.  The Brunswick soup is also pretty good, and my only complaint might be that it is a bit salty for my taste.

Every table has three different sauces for you to sprinkle on anything you like.  They are mustard based, vinegar based, and then a tomato based sauce.  My personal favorite is the sweet tomato based one and here it is all over my Smoked Pork:

Sweet Tomato Based Sauce

Everyone seems to like a different sauce but at my table, most people liked the tomato based one.

I have to say this is probably the best BBQ I have had any where near the Atlanta area so far, so I definitely recommend you try it out if you are ever int he area!

Cantonese BBQ

If you are a fan of Asian food, meat, and yummy food, and you haven’t tried Cantonese BBQ yet, go yelp up the closest one near you and take a visit!  This trip I had to Ming’s BBQ was pretty successful.  We ordered a platter “Special Side BBQ” with 3 types of meats (left to right of photo above):

• Roast Pork (脆皮火肉)
• Roast Duck (脆皮火鴨)
• Honey BBQ Pork (蜜汁叉燒)

I absolutely love Roast Pork, as it’s got a perfect mix of crunch and meatiness, but the Roast Duck and Honey BBQ Pork was quite tasty also.  The only complaint I had of that day was that they put a bit toooooo much BBQ sauce on so it was a bit too sweet/saucy/salty… but some people love that!

Along with all the meat, we also ordered a Eggplant with Garlic Sauce.  Not everyone loves eggplants, but most people that have tried this dish loves this dish.
