=============
The third place we have been to for BBQ in the past couple of weeks is
The Bar-B-Que House in Laurel, Maryland.  Our last visit was with the
Hafflys who stopped over here on their way to NY State.

We'd been there twice before, and like them.

Gail has had a roast beef sandwich, a pulled pork sandwich and a
hamburger.  The hamburger is good, but not the best we've had.  We still
like T-Bonz burgers the best.  The pulled pork was very good.  The roast
beef (aka pit beef) was good but not nearly as good as our favorite pit
beef place which is Pioneer Beef -- where we've taken some of you to.
The bun on all three sandwiches disintegrated -- which is a definite
minus.

On my first visit I had a three meat platter.  It had a quarter rack of
baby back ribs, a quarter BBQ chicken and a small order of pulled pork.
All were very good.  I even enjoyed the chicken -- which is something I
rarely order out, except for some of the Italian dishes at Carrabbas.
The second time we went there, I ordered a platter with a half rack of
baby back ribs.  This time I asked for dry rub.  They slow smoke their
meats in the back starting at 7 am, and then they finish them to order
on the grill.  The first time they loaded on their sweet smoky sauce to
the ribs.  It had good flavor, but I prefer to add just a little bit of
sauce at the table.  The third time, with the Hafflys, I asked for them
to finish the ribs with their Carolina vinegar sauce.  That was also
good, not much different from the dry rub finish ribs.

The platters come with a choice of two sides.   I have had sweet
potatoes (good), collard greens (very good) and onion rings (Excellent).

Ruth got dry rub ribs and sides of cole slaw and potato salad. Steve had
a combination platter which included ribs and chicken.  I think his
third meat was pulled pork, but I'm not sure.  I'm also not sure what
his sides were. Portions of the sides and meats came home with us and
must have been lunch on the way to NY State.

We have yet to try their brisket.  I talked with the guy behind the
counter and he said that they only make it once per week, usually on
Wednesday or Thursday -- seems it takes up too much room.  Before we
picked up Michael on Saturday, I called to check and was informed that
they had just sold the last of it seconds before.  I guess you have to
go there on a Thursday or Friday to try brisket.
