The all seeing eye watches you BBQ

Summer is the season when we prove our dominion over the animals by grilling and eating them. It’s awesome. Getting your friends together for a big barbecue is great, but sometimes you want to throw a big grill party without your clumsy friend accidentally breaking your favorite chair or that guy from college clogging the toilet. To heck with people’s obsession with getting together indoors! You don’t have to clean your apartment in order to throw a great party. Instead, get some paper plates, trash bags, charcoal, beer and beef, then tell your friends where to meet you. It’s grilling…

In the battle of Ethyl's vs Piggy's, Ethyl's cuisine regins supreme.

Gather round, food fans! It’s time for our barbecue battle roundup! In one corner, we have Piggy’s Bar BQ, with its wood-fired smoker proudly stationed in front of the restaurant. In the other, we have Ethyl’s, where you can sing karaoke or play sand volleyball. In the spirit of fairness, I stopped by during lunch on Wednesdays and placed the same order for a barbecue brisket sandwich with corn on the cob and a dessert. After leveling the playing field, let’s see how our combatants fared. Read more here.

Attention to small details makes Ethyl's surprisingly good.

After last month’s Indian battle, I’m switching continents for something completely different. In May, I’m on a quest to find the best barbecue in O’Fallon. In the spirit of fairness, I plan to order similar meals at both. My favorite slow cooked barbeque is brisket, so I’ll be looking for a pink smoke ring, buttery soft meat and addictive sauces. I started my quest at Ethyl’s. Read more here.

Sergeant’s BBQ Well Intentioned

I wanted to like Sergeant's more.

It doesn’t look like much from the street, but the delicious smell of slow-cooked barbecue hits you like a wave when you walk into this tiny eight-table restaurant, which sits off of Dunn Road. There’s nothing fancy about Sergeant’s. The handwritten menu, on a board in dry erase marker, hangs above the order window. The only decoration is a stencil of a happy pig on one orange wall. The one-man operation doesn’t even have a soda fountain. Instead, a few bottles of Coke products lurk in a fridge. I love places like this. You can’t get more home cooked than…
