The new BBQ joint from the 2M Smokehouse team defies comparison with “country barbecue” and a warclub dino rib.
Barbecue is about so much more than barbecue. It’s a sense of place, a sense of history, a sense of connection between families forged in fire and smoke. For Blu Lacy Smokehouse in Castroville, barbecue is all those lofty things. But it’s also about one other thing. A basic thing: Being its own thing. Sounds simple, but Blu Lacy comes straight from the chromosomal lineage of 2M Smokehouse, the new-school San Antonio barbecue joint built by Esaul Ramos Jr. and Joe Melig in 2016.
And I liked how the jalapeño-cheese version shifted that balance to the shiny side. Sometimes the risk of ordering pork ribs by the pound without getting specific about size means getting the knob ends of the rib. And those hard, chewy knobs cost the same $22 a pound as the sleek St. Louis ribs from the center of the rack. Those center ribs told the story better, a story informed by hours of post-oak smoke that glazed their surface in rippling shades of ruby-red beach glass.
