It’s been since our Christmas dinner at Jamil's that I last broke meat with my good friend and immediate boss Patrick.
While coming up with a list of places to visit, within mere seconds he told me about a newish big time Texas-style barbecue joint in the repurposed part of town with something called the “Hot Gut Sausage” that I desperately needed to try.
Fuck. Yeah.
The next day, Patrick, my girlfriend and I waited outside of Edge Craft Barbecue, 1920 Linwood Blvd., at around 10:45 a.m. for the place to open up.
Patrick and I shot the shit about recent developments in our lives and so on but, as soon as they opened the steel door a few minutes after 11:00, the savages rushed inside, all wanting the tastes I had heard rumblings about.
At the counter, I ordered a silver tray of food from the man who guarded the meats for me and the girlfriend to share. I chose the Three Meat Special ($30.00) with Moist “All Natural” Brisket, Pork Ribs, and the one item I really wanted, the Hot Gut Sausage.
