There's this show on the Food Network called
"Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives" which is really awesome. The guy goes around to all these little local, greasy-spoon, Mom and Pop type joints that have amazing food.
Here's a Google Map of all the places that have been highlighted on the show. If there's a place on the list near you, I highly recommend you check it out!
Anyway, one of the more recent episodes featured a barbeque joint here in Phoenix. I love barbeque. I went on a trip to visit friends in Kansas City last year, and I could seriously move there just for the food. Yum! Well, supposedly this place serves up some real authentic-ass barbeque. Who would have thought I could find REAL barbeque in Arizona? Well, if it's on this show, it must be good.
So my buddy and I went to
Thee Pitt's Again in Glendale. The food was fucking awesome. If you like melt-in-your-mouth barbeque pork, sausage, and brisket, and you're ever in Phoenix, you have to give this place a try.
For dessert - no joke -
DEEP FRIED TWINKIE. With ice cream.
I shudder to think of how many calories I consumed today.
