"Micklethwait is where we usually take out-of-town guests who want a fairly classic barbecue experience without a multi-hour line. The brisket is seasoned with a generous amount of salt and pepper coating each bite. On a good day, Micklethwait might take our top spot. But even on a lesser day, it’s never too far behind. Add a side of lemon poppy slaw and citrus beet salad to help balance out all that rich beef. " - nicolai mccrary
