The Southern barbecue trend shows no signs of slowing. Here are new spots to grt your smoked-meat fix, from a place by a Chicago BBQ champ to a joint run by two Brooklyn hipsters.
Bogart's Smokehouse; St Louis, MO
St. Louis's reputation as a barbecue destination just got better. Skip Steele worked at local institution Pappy's Smokehouse before opening his own place in February. He cooks his pork ribs in an Old Hickory wood smoker, then coats them with an apricot glaze and blasts them with a blowtorch that sounds like a plane taking off. His baked beans are terrific; they cook in the smoker underneath the brisket to absorb the dripping.
Insiders Tip: Besides barbecue standards like ribs and brisket, Bogart's also offers less traditional smoked specialities: juicy pastrami and crispy pork skins. |

John and Kathy Swift began cooking with a homemade cooker doing fund raisers for charitable events and organizations in late 2001, thus the Wild Bunch BBQ Team came into being.
After several Reserve Grand Championships and a lot of dissappointments, they won their first GRAND CHAMPIONSHIPS in Maggie Valley, NC in the fall of 2007!! The Wild Bunch Butt Burners won team of the year for chicken out of over 4000 teams cooking Kansas City BBQ Society events and finished 1st place in ribs at the American Royal World Championship in Kansas City in 2008. They also won the "Alabama Governor's Cup" award in 2008 with the highest score for the year in Alabama contest and finished 2nd place the following year.
In 2009 The Wild Bunch Butt Burners were fortuate enough to make the draw and cook at the Jack Daniels World Championship Invitational BBQ.
In 2010 the team helped the Smokin' Blue & BBQ organizers from Hammond LA with the hospitality tent for all the volunteers at The Jack, and cooked all the meat for the judging class held on Friday of the event on a brand new cooker furnished by Ole Hickory Pits.
The year of 2011 competitions started off slow with a poor showing in Pensacola, but just one week later, the team managed to finished as Grand Champion in Mobile in a field of some 70 teams!
The Wild Bunch Butt Burners continue to support local charities, especially the United Cerebral Palsy of Mobile, the local VFW, the Human Society, Toys for Tots, American Cancer Society, Log a Load for Kids, and any friend in the area that needs fundraising for a worthy cause.
BBQ cook teams have a common bond and always come together to help each other whenever necessary. The Wild Bunch Butt Burners have a true passion for BBQ. Perhaps their passion will help a few more people in the world who are less fortunate than others.

Who Serves The Best Ribs In The South Bay?
Just ask a very proud Steve Francis, owner of Pinkie’s BBQ, who was recently voted “Best Ribs in The South Bay” in an annual survey taken by The Beach Reporter. His baby back ribs, smoked over hickory wood in an Ole Hickory Pits smoker, were voted FAVORITE by readers of the Los Angeles County newspaper.
"Pinkie’s BBQ has only been open a little over two years, so we were thrilled to be chosen over the national chain restaurants and local BBQ restaurants that have been here much longer than we have," stated Francis.
Francis, credits hickory wood shipped from Missouri, his Ole Hickory Pits smoker and tips learned from Mike Mills at his BBQ seminars for giving him the tools and skills to produce the tasty baby back ribs they serve at Pinkie’s BBQ.
Steve, pictured middle above, is equally proud to have served dinner to the Hermosa Beach Fire Station with members of the “C” shift. He was asked to prepare a Christmas dinner the week before Christmas for them.
The menu consisted of bone-on hickory smoked pork loin roast cut into chops and served over a bed of Pinkie’s famous Southern Greens, a brown mustard based BBQ sauce drizzled over the top and hush puppies on the side. The firemen loved the food and Steve loved getting a chance to work in the fire station kitchen. It was a win, win for everyone.
GREAT JOB STEVE!
