It's even colder today - but we had BBQ last night
We are still stuck in the artic air mass for at least 2 more days. This picture shows the temperature at 9am on Sunday.
Charlotte and I skied a run near avalanche bowl on Teton Pass yesterday and found steep trees loaded with 2 feet of cold smoke powder. Our friend Doug led the trip and we enjoyed the introduction to new terrain.
After the ski run we drove West off the pass and spend the evening at the Knotty Pine in Victor, ID with a group of friends.
I wanted to eat at the Knotty to conduct a direct comparison to the new restaurant near our house called the Q. Both establishments offer smoked meats and BBQ and are considered fine eating establishments. It has been a point of contention as to which restaurant has the best BBQ.
After eating at both restaurants in the last week, I will name Q the winner. The ribs had a stronger smoked flavor along with a hardy dry rub crisped on the outside of the rips. The Knotty does receive a few extra bonus points for including diced onions in their Mac & Cheese and the wonderful Turkey Noodle Soup that was made fresh last night. Interestingly enough, both restaurants use the same band of smokers for cooking the meats. Each restaurant has a distinctive atmosphere and are great places for a casual dinner with friends.
