Hog Island BBQ



Tried this restaurant on 11th Ave last Sunday for something different. I have not had Memphis BBQ before but this was not very good. You could see that the owner used chemical wood pellets because the bag was out in the open. At first I thought it was guinea pig pellet food until I read the bag. The service was a bit slow and there are no places to sit. We walked to the near by park and proceeded to eat. Tokki had the brisket sandwich with coleslaw topping and Tiger had the pulled pork plate with Scalloped potatoes and baked beans as the sides. The food had an overwhelming chemical smoke taste and Tokki said she kept tasting a gasoline like after taste. Later we both had heartburn and kept burping up that chemical. I would not recommend.
We have had Texas BBQ in Kaneohe and found that much better. They use real wood and not chemicals for flavor.

Brick


Sunday we went to Long John Silvers. Two weeks ago I discovered that there is in fact a LJS on the island. I have seen commercials for over a month about how they have these lobster bites. Rabbit likes the hush puppies and was game to try this place. I have not eaten at this chain of restaurants in about 20 years... and it will be another 20 till I do again. After ordering one of their "little bit of everything" platters with fries, piece of fish, lobster bites...you get the picture. Everything tasted the same, from the fish to the fries, how you ask? Must all be done in the same oil. So the entire plate tasted like weak fish.
By the way, it felt like I ingested a brick. For two hours after my stomach was so heavy. UG!
