You know how there are certain foods and smells that just make you start salivating immediately?…read more Well, the thought of the sandwiches at Meat House do that to me. The first time I went, I had their Supreme BLT. The name sounds a bit lofty and is perhaps a bit pedestrian to some, but I have to say, it's far and above the best version I've ever had. Thick warm bacon, cool lettuce and tomatoes, avocado, and a delicious garlicky aioli. I ate it in my car and must have been a real sight to see, because I practically made love to that thing. It was that good. The second time I went, I opted for their Cuban. Again, the best version of that sandwich I've ever had. This thing was like an orgasm on bread. I don't even know where to start, but suffice it to say that all the ingredients were exploding like a symphony of savory wonder. Thank goodness no one filmed me eating it, that would definitely have been embarrassing. On top of the incredible sandwich menu at Meat House, they also offer a pretty impressive assortment of groceries, a custom salad bar, fantastic butcher counter with steaks and chops galore, beer and wine, etc. Sort of feels like a specialty market on steroids. I highly recommend a visit, particularly for one of their epic sandwiches!

Soooo, we went to Embark tonight for the second time. Full disclosure, the first time Wifey and I…read morecame here was when they first opened, we came kind of late and we didn't have the best experience, but I PROMISED myself I'd come back before reviewing because I honestly believed I just hit them on a bad night. Had a good friend recently tell me I needed to come back, so we did. Tonight we ordered a half rack of ribs, a pulled pork sandwich, and the pulled pork Mac-n-cheese. In a word, the food was fantastic. I've had BBQ in a LOT of places and also have my own smoker that I've gotten pretty good at using it so I know good BBQ...and this is good BBQ. The ribs were delicious - cooked perfectly the way the want them in competition...not fall off the bone, but with a little bite, and the flavor was great. Amazing bark on the outside with tender meat on the bone. The pulled pork sandwich was so tender and delicious that I wish I didn't have to share it with Wifey. And their homemade BBQ sauce is absolutely great...a little spice on the back of the tongue, but still sweet without being overly sweet (they have four kinds, but I only wanted the traditional). The pulled pork Mac-n-cheese was very rich but full of flavor with a nice breadcrumb topping as well. Each platter also came with cole slaw, something often overlooked by BBQ places, but not here. Very tasty, very fresh, though I think it needed a pinch of salt. I do wish we had gotten some cornbread, but honestly, we walked away very full. The service here is super friendly and our food came pretty quickly...and I really love the layout and vibe here. I spoke to the owner about how much I loved the food tonight and how it was such a difference from my first experience. I'm so glad we came back. The people behind the counter all seem to LIKE what they're doing...and that means a lot. Real BBQ places are always pricey, because you aren't paying for just the food, your paying for the hours and hours and hours of cooking it takes to get the food to taste as good as it does and to be tender. You can't take shortcuts with BBQ. So yeah, Embark isn't cheap, but if there's one thing I've discovered over the years it's that you DON'T want cheap BBQ. Embark is a BYOB place so bring your favorite beer, order some great food, and sit with friends savoring the deliciousness. I will NOT wait this long to come back again.
