Is Howards still in Colorado Springs? It was off Colorado Blvd near 30th somewhere. Dr Hoggley Woggley here in the Valley (SoCal) is real good!

Right place - wrong team. Winston was the all pro LT body guard for Broadway Joe Namath and the Jets when they beat the Colts. He used to be at the counter quite often, but I haven't seen him lately.

Ouch. I'll take that one as a man and admit through pretty much fat lips you're the better man. Congratulations. Good job. I post humbled.

Sorry - didn't mean to offend you. I was just being a smart azz. He does have great BBQ.

No offense taken. You were completely correct to take issue with me. I'll freely admit I must have been delusional to think Winston Hill played with the Baltimore Colts. There are pictures of him with Colts players, but yeah, his career was with the Jets. My fault, and I apologize to everybody. I don't intend to mislead folks.

Herb's BBQ Shack in Brighton. I have friends that moved here from Florida and swear that it's the closest thing to southern BBQ in Colorado. The owner is a transplant from Alabama who opened the restaurant because he didn't feel that existing BBQ in Colorado compared.

Little44 · 07-10-2006, 07:38 PM

The more I think about it, and I HATE admitting this, but our red neighbors to the east probably have some of the best BBQ in the world!!! Go to Kansas City and get some Gates, Aurthor Bryant's, or Fiorella's Jack Stack BBQ and then try BBQ here; it just isn't the same.

So they have BBQ, we have the mountains, a better climate, AND THE BEST TEAM IN THE NFL!!!

It was fantastic. They used to prepare take-out orders, as well. Far as I know, they still do.

Not bad at all. I've eaten there a couple times, and it's way above average. But I still have to say that Daddy Bruce is in a class by itself.

Little friendly advice to my fellow Broncos fans. With the drought this summer hay prices across the nation have seen a huge jump. Just a couple years ago a bale of cow hay was $3.00 in Colorado. Ranchers are now paying upwards of $10.00 or more for the same bale. Ranchers across the nation have had to send their herds to market thus driving the price of beef down. This is only temporary. There are some great deals out there right now. If you have a freezer stock up for the playoff run right now because I don't think we are going to see $4.00 choice sirloin anytime soon if ever again.

Factor in the price of fuel, grain, and the fact our government just approved a third stimulus commodities are going up across the board.

NFLBRONCO · 10-09-2012, 10:33 AM

I like House of Ribs

Irish Stout · 10-09-2012, 11:42 AM

Daddy Bruce's in Denver - I believe its gone. The one in Boulder is still there, I think, but its under different ownership.

I recommend Big Hoss on Tennyson and 40th. The brisket is Colorado grass fed beef and the sauce has a great taste and kick. Pulled pork ain't nothing to cry about either.

I also like Brother BBQ, but haven't yet figured out which spot at which time is serving the tasty food and which is serving the schlock.

Mountain Bronco · 10-10-2012, 08:21 AM

Sorry, I lived in Denver for 4 years and still live in Colorado and love BBQ, but Denver and Colorado in general is not a great BBQ state. I wish that would change. I have tried all the places listed except Winston's.

at Brothers though. That **** is mediocre at best although I would eat there over like McD's or Chipotle.

Nice Meck! Did you actually remember this thread from over 6 years ago? I will let my wife know on this one since we are on a major budget.

I want to second the Hickory House mention. Very good.

I wonder how many posts it's going to take before someone that lives elsewhere will rip on the lack of good BBQ in CO. Meanwhile they've never ate at the forementioned places.

OMG, I've been to Hickory House.

It's decent, but I've had better in Missouri, Tennessee, and Florida.

Without going through all replies, I enjoy Boneys and Yazoos. Both downtown, I go to either spot for lunch with coworkers occasionally.

I just have trouble starting threads sometimes so I usually just bump.

Oh and don't get fooled just by cheap prices.

There are three grades of meat.

Select, choice, and prime. Be sure it says USDA also.

There is a HUGE difference between select and choice. Go with Choice if you can afford it. It's not much more expensive. If you do buy select at least buy the best cut you can. For example. A local grocery store just had Beef tenderloin for $6.99 lb. That is a damn good deal. I haven't check sams or costco lately and off the top of my head not sure what grade they carry.

An example of what I tossed in my freezer recently. 25lbs of Choice Top sirloin. $4.00 lbs. That is 25 lbs for $100 dang dollars. A good steak dinner for 4 people at any steak house will cost you that! 25lbs is 400 ounces of steak. 8 ounce portions would be 50 steak dinners or just $2.00 per steak. A ****ty package of mystery meat hot dogs is a couple bucks!

The three grades of beef are.

Quality Grades:
Prime grade is produced from young, well-fed beef cattle. It has abundant marbling and is generally sold in restaurants and hotels. Prime roasts and steaks are excellent for dry-heat cooking (broiling, roasting, or grilling).

Choice grade is high quality, but has less marbling than Prime. Choice roasts and steaks from the loin and rib will be very tender, juicy, and flavorful and are, like Prime, suited to dry-heat cooking. Many of the less tender cuts, such as those from the rump, round, and blade chuck, can also be cooked with dry heat if not overcooked. Such cuts will be most tender if "braised" — roasted, or simmered with a small amount of liquid in a tightly covered pan.

Select grade is very uniform in quality and normally leaner than the higher grades. It is fairly tender, but, because it has less marbling, it may lack some of the juiciness and flavor of the higher grades. Only the tender cuts (loin, rib, sirloin) should be cooked with dry heat. Other cuts should be marinated before cooking or braised to obtain maximum tenderness and flavor.

Standard and Commercial grades are frequently sold as ungraded or as "store brand" meat.

Utility, Cutter, and Canner grades are seldom, if ever, sold at retail but are used instead to make ground beef and processed products.

Regardless it won't hurt your family to stock up what you can fit in your freezer. Would also recommend buying a food saver if you don't have one. It allows you to vacuum seal food just like the professionals do. Will add months if not a year to the quality of your food.

Stand alone freezers are great to have if you don't have one obviously.

Hold the hot dogs. Get yourselves some choice sirloin now!

You are what you eat!
