Blue Mist instantly won my favor as some great barbeque. Had not The Mayor brought some Q from Jimmy's at the same time, I would have proclaimed Blue Mist to be king. Blue Mist has what can be termed "complex" barbeque: there's a lot of hickory in the meat, and there's a certain flavor that's a little bit more exotic than what you'd expect, but in no way detrimental... unless simplicity is what you crave. The folks at Blue Mist choose to leave their meat a tiny bit dryer, and make up for it by making their sauce more vinegary: an excellent combination. --Alec
When the forty-year-old waitress shouted to her sixty-year-old boss, "Mama, do we have any take out menus here?" I knew I was in the right place. Blue Mist Bar B. Q. is the kind of place movie directors scout out--beautiful early '60's decor (blue vinyl, wood panelling, Coca Cola sign over the grill) and the clientele to match. Hog heaven!
And the trefe ain't bad, either. The pork has a delicious, smoky flavor, and the
slightly thick dipping sauce is the perfect complement. The Blue Mist has been in
operation since 1948, and it shows. --The Mayor
