Archie’s Barbecue - McHenry Maryland
- Now that’s a smoke ring
As I mentioned a few weeks ago, my esteemed sidekick and I took a road trip to Deep Creek Lake in Maryland to visit our friends, Arthur and Judith. While there, we had some really great barbecue at Archie’s Barbecue.
After a long day of alternating between being lazy and swimming, we were hungry and wanted to get something to eat. After much discussion, we decided to go to load up Archie’s for some barbecue. Once we got there, we spent several minutes studying the menu to decide what to go with: pulled pork, ribs, sausages, brisket, chicken, or ribs? These are the questions that try men’s souls. Well, we all decided to go with the “Taster’s Plate”, which included pretty much consisted of at least three quarters of a pound of pulled pork, about a half pound of brisket, a couple of ribs, cornbread and two sides, all for $18.99. Arthur and Judith shared a plate, whereas my sidekick and I each got our own Taster’s Plate. Arthur and Judith also got an order of chicken fingers for their baby.
Behold the glory of the Taster's Plate
As you can see from the pictures, this barbecue had a perfect smoke ring. It had great smoky flavor and the sauce (provided on the side) was sweet and spicy. The barbecue was so good that the baby rejected the chicken fingers in favor of barbecue. The cornbread was good, but a little sweet for my taste.
