Just a little note here to let you know I took my little friend by the hand last night and made a return to the Smokin' Sage. Selfish move on my part, but I have been craving barbeque like a house afire! We were not disappointed.
We both had the pulled pork and it was out of this world. I had a sauce with mine that appeared to be Jalapeno and Apricot. They nailed it on that one! I did not see what my friend had and it disappeared very quickly, leaving me with the impression that it must have been damn good what ever it was.
They are taking their little cart up to the Pikes Peak International Raceway next weekend. If you get up there you better stop and tell them Lou Mercer said "Hey!" Randy invited me, but unfortunately (?) that is the weekend I have company coming in from St. Louis so I am a homebody then.
You know what I like best about this barbeque? Know how some of it is really greasy? Not this stuff. Grease is not my friend and I think I have figured out how he does it without soaking it in grease. See he has this grill that has baskets in it and it goes around. Be impossible for grease to hang on to that! My friend agrees with me on the grease thing.

I forgot to ask him what kind of wood he uses. I will ask him next time I see him and report back in to you.
He is located right on the south side of the convenience store on the corner of Baxter and Highway 50. Years ago Baxter used to cross 50 and go into the airport, but that was many years ago. Anyway, he has a sign by the road, so watch for it. Then you drive right in and get ready for a taste bud delight! Have I ever steered you wrong on food? Hell no! Eating is vital to keep my little (?) body going and I do not put anything in it that does not taste good.
Now, I am thinking that winter is going to be coming along and I need to visit with them about what happens in the winter. Pretty sure a blizzard could shut them down. Would me. But until then get yourself on over there and enjoy a little bit of heaven before it gets too cold.
And tell them Lou sent you!
