"Famous Dave's Bar-B-Que"

So, Liza and I were coming back from Atlantic City recently. We decided to take the Black Horse Pike home, because we were considering stopping for some place different for dinner. So, that is the advantage of taking that way home. There are a lot better opitions then the KFC off the AC truck stop.

We always passed this place called Famous Dave's Bar-B-Que. Its located not far from the Hamilton Mall in what is considered Mays Landing in South JErsey.

Let me tell you this place just rocked. It was by far the best first experience I had in years. Liza claimed they might have been the best ribs she ever had.

Stepping into the resturant I knew it was going to be good. They had all kinds of cool stuff on the wall like hunting and fishing gear. It was designed like a lock cabin fire place included. It reminded me a bit of the place where John Candy ate in The Great Outdoors.

Anyway I just can't wait to go back because there is so much on the menu I want to try. I ended up getting the Georgia Chopped Pork Sandwitch. Which was proked hickory smoked and slathered in Rich & Sassy BBQ sauce. Man was that good!

My 2nd choice (which I plan to try next time) another sandwitch was the Texas Manhandler which was Texas Beef and Zesty Hot link susage sliced thin and piled high, topped with hell fire pickle chips.

Liza got the platted that had Ribs and Chicken and it was damn good.

Now looking at their webpage it appears that two locations are opening up soon in Philly and one in Cherry Hill. But, why wait? I am looking forward to getting a group together of anyone who wants to go its really not that far a drive. Maybe 20-30 mins from Jennas if that is a good reference point.

The have a thing called the All-American BBQ Feast which serves 4 or 5 people. We saw a family get this order and its more than enough food. Here is what it includes.

A full slab of Spare Ribs, A whole Chicken, a half pound of either beef brisket or chopped pork. Coleslaw, Famous Fries, Wilbur Beans (Jay can't have those) Corn on the Cob, and Corn Bread. All for $52.99. Thats pretty damn good if you split that four or five ways.

On top of that there are five different sauces on the table. Including one called Devil's Spit. Being messy and over eating is highly encouraged at this place.

This post will kick off a new feature on my blog telling people good places to eat in South Jersey. Since, well most my friends love food.


Info
Famous Daves
4215 Black Horse Pike
(609)569-9910.

Its roughly 5 miles or so past the intersection of Route 50 and the Black Horse Pike. It will be on the left hand side going TOWARDS Atlantic City, so you might have to U-Turn around. Taking the Atlantic City Express way your best bet might be to take the Hamilton Mall exit,but im not quite sure where that will dump you in reference to the place.

Also Route 73 is a good way to go. Since it ends at the Black Horese Pike (Route 322). Then just stay on there for awhile. Past 50 for a few. Then your there!

Go on your own and let me know what you thought.

Or let me know when you want to go!

"Tears of a Jedi"

George Lucus is comparing the final installment of the Star Wars prequels to Titantic. He claims it will be a real tear jerker. Well I also hope that it includes a very, bloody volient death of
Jar Jar Binks. I can only hope that is the reason it's going to be rated PG-13.

"WHAAAAAAAA?!?!?"

I pretty much am ready to pack up the snow storm updates of Tucker's World this weekend. Given the fact that the only shot we have is some wet snow start of next week and after that its time to enjoy the spring weather for the most part.

However, I don't know who hasn't heard this story yet, but parts of New Mexico have gotten 3 feet of snow! That is more then the "Monster Storm" dumped on us months ago!

Philly was over the average and all together we got close to or more then 4 feet of snow if you combine all the storms.

Check it out here to read more of the freak storm. Two feet feel Vegas. Wonder if anyone went there for "Spring Break". I certainly wouldn't gamble a dime if two feet of snow fell when I was in Vegas. Sounds like some bad luck to me!

"Ain't My Rotting Bear"

A South Jersey family has a rotting bear corpse on their lawn. It's been there for a week. They called people at the Fish and Wildlife however its lifeless body is still on their lawn.

Hmmm...Fish and Wildlife must be state workers or something.

"New Jersey Smoking Ban"

New JErsey smoking ban isn't far off. It was recently voted on an it could soon be a reality. In fact as far as I gather it only has to go to the Senate now.Now the smoking ban would be for all public places. Which would include bars and resturants. This has many business owners concerned that the smokers won't come out as often or at all.

However, some businesses in cities have said they actually had an increase in business whent he smoking ban was put in place.

New Jersey has bit of a different situation. Considering the fact that they have 13 casinos. Now from what I understand the casinos really don't want to fall under the blanket of public buildings and want to be exempt from such a ban.

I mean think about its a place for people to gamble which is, well not really good for you at all. So, if you are going to make that legal in one city. Why not just let them smoke too. Considering the casinos employee a large portion of South Jersey and bring in quite a bit money for the state, should they be excluded from the ban?

The bar situation is a bit different from the casino. I mean what if someone is really Jonesing for a cigarette? They have to walk all the way to the boardwalk or the garage? Its a lot harder to get outside. Especially, if you are playing tables.

In fact I know I have some smokers reading here. Let's say you are in the middle of a winning streak. Would you actually step out for a smoke? Since people are going to AC to drink and gamble should they really think of smoking as a huge sin?

I hate second hand smoke. However, I accept it as part of the Casinos and Bar scene. What does everyone think?

Wonder how this will effect our local bars if it goes through.
