The original concept of this blog was of course ‘lunch in Roppongi’. I moved on pretty quickly from that due to the whole ‘implosion of my employer and my subsequent relocation to Otemachi’, I still have a soft spot for Roppongi lunches. Actually I don’t; I don’t have a soft spot for anything about Roppongi. […]

Carl’s Perfect Pig, White Bluff (Nashville)
I’m not here to tell you the name is a lie. I’m not even here to complain about ‘cajun chicken alfredo’ being on the menu. I’m just here to say, this was some good barbecue. Good enough to try desperately to squeeze your snout out the crack in the window when you’ve been cruelly locked […]
Jack’s Bar-B-Que, Nashville
We didn’t know Jack, but we kinda wanted to. So did a lot of our friends. Had to wait all the way past the bar next door, and through a line inside the premises too. Here’s the funny thing – there was plenty of seating. I mean, it was quiet and kinda empty. It’s just […]

But I spent a good 30 googling barbecue in Nashville. I felt like I could tell from the relative lack of informed discussionz that it wasn’t going […]
Hog Heaven, Nashville

Bar-B-Cutie, Nashville
What’s up there, sweet cheeks? Leonard and I flew in to Nashville for a long weekend men’s trip. Nothing sordid ensued unless you count 5 meals of barbecue in 3 days as sordid. And my intestines sorta did. You know I don’t eat that much meat these days. So I got in after him due […]
Angelo’s, Fort Worth
So I was in Forth Worth for about 20 hours to have a little meeting. We got in early, visited some stores of the retailer we were meeting, and then were left with 2+ hours of dead time. My colleague, Hoor, looked at me and said “Barbecue” and we were off. It was like a […]
