ciao! reviews chalkboard menus list ribs, burgers and wings galore. Mosey over to the counter to order, then lean back and listen to the golden oldies while sip- ping on a tall glass of sweet tea. Before being dished out for cook- out connoisseurs, proteins are loaded on a wood-fire grill, then smoked low and slow at 225°F for hours on end. A massive array of saucy goodness fea- tures your choice of favourites served with matching accompaniments. Brisket, thinly sliced, is ultra moist and tender. Tangy sauce delivers just a hint of sweet heat. Burnt ends, made from the remnants after the bris- ket is sliced, are cooked again until deeply charred, rich and buttery. Tear through a crispy caramelized coating to reveal ribs’ tender flesh, partially pink from smoke. Subtle smokiness accentuates the seasoning that clings to wings’ slick, crunchy exterior. Order these tasty treats by the plate or pound, or enjoy them in sandwich form—either choice is a wise one. The “Uncle Porky’s” sandwich is better than the sloppiest of Joes: sweetly sauced minced pork and beef spill out from a fluffy bun. Banana peppers add sneaky spice, cooled by a layer of creamy coleslaw. While dining solely on pigs, cows and chickens is a-okay in these parts, spectacular sides are equally delicious. Scratch-made sauces, skin-on fries, ’slaw and tater salad are whipped up daily, the stuff of picture-perfect down-home coun- try cooking. Creamy coleslaw adds cool crunch layered in ’wiches, slabs of cornbread crumble into sweet bites and potato salad, lightly dressed and seasoned, provides a delightful counterpoint to a meat- heavy menu. When it comes to laid-back eater- ies that exalt carnivory, Lovey’s BBQ is the belle of the ball.
