Bluegrass & BBQ - Food (SDC)

 

FOOD

A major part of Bluegrass & BBQ is the food offerings.  SDC has created Tasting Passports to help guests maximize their food spending money and be able to test out these new offerings
 We are going to show you our selections from today

BBQ BRISKET KETTLE CHIPS
Chester's Kettle Chips
Thoughts: This a great combination. They start with a bed of kettle chips, then add baked beans, shredded brisket, coleslaw and topped with BBQ sauce.  The mixture of flavors works great and the kettle chips (by design) do not get soggy.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND

BBQ FRIED CHICKEN SANDWICH
Corn Dogs & Tenders
Thoughts: So this was basically 2 chicken tenders on a bun with BBQ sauce and some fries.  While it tasted good and might be good for the picky eaters, there are better options to choose from
DECENT

BBQ SMOKED BRISKET BOWL
Rivertown Smokehouse
Thoughts: This features a bed of tater tots, then baked beans, mac-n-cheese, shredded brisket, topped with BBQ sauce.  The only complaint is that this combo results in soggy tater tots and some people are not big fans of that
RECOMMEND

SMOKED PULLED PORK SANDWICH
Rivertown Smokehouse
Thoughts: This is a fail proof menu selection.  Smoked pulled pork topped with coleslaw and fried onion straws.  Honestly I could have ate several more.  So good
HIGHLY RECOMMEND

PEACH COBBLER BREAD PUDDING
Rivertown Smokehouse 
Thoughts: There are not many quality deserts on the menu this year, but this is definitely one to get.  The combination of peach cobbler with bread pudding is heavenly.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND

BBQ BRISKET GRILLED CHEESE
Traveler's Stop
Thoughts: This was probably our favorite of the day.  Texas style toast, quality cheese and some huge slabs of brisket with BBQ sauce.  This could be offered year round and we would be all over it.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND

SMOKED PULLED PORK PINEAPPLE AND PEPPER SANDWICH
Buckshot's Skillet Cookery
Thoughts: Don't let the size fool you.  This slider is actually very filling.  We didn't notice too much of the pineapple flavoring but definitely could taste the pepper.  It was tasty
RECOMMEND

TATER DOG
Tater Twist
Thoughts: If you have a picky eater this works great,  While the BBQ Tater Dog is what is on the menu and card, they'll let you do it however your want.
