I’ve seen them pop up more and more. In Portland, the top places tend to offer it sometimes as a special. Also at Grasslands in Hood River. Still haven’t had better beef chefs than at mickletwait’s (Leroy and Lewis also very good). I’ll have to try Palmira next time I am in Charleston.
Next time you are in Austin, the hash rice at Leroy and Lewis is worth trying.
Thanks John, I read your Charleston blog posts. I nostalgic already, I was in Charleston for the first time at end of Feb, and found it a really nice city with so much to explore, and lots of great food! Definitely would like to visit again.
I’m just reading the blog now and the Charleston reports are great. However, I thoroughly enjoyed reading this line from the southern living “best bbq” in every state poll for Alabama : “Archibald’s in Tuscaloosa cooks the best ribs not only in Alabama but in the world, bar none”. I feel the same way and although I’ve certainly seen some praise for Archibald’s not to the extent of best ribs in the world. I’ve only made there a few times as Alabama doesn’t have a big draw for me but hoping I’ll have another chance soon.
Not beef cheeks but the last time I was at Fikscue BBQ in Alameda, CA they had smoked flatiron steak which I’ve never seen - now I’m wishing I had tried some.
