jake & earls reincarnated

Is Everyone/Anyone As Excited About Last Weeks Announcement That Jake & Earls Is Opening On Moody St
Waltham As I Am?

Do you know when they open and the address?

I stopped in the other day. They told me they expect to be open by the end of the month. They are 2 blocks down from Main St. on the left side .....220 Moody St.

How 'bout filling in us Jake & Earl's illiterates? Waddizit?

it was chris schlesinger's bar b que place in inman sq cambridge, he closed it some years ago to expand his east coast grill, some nights i fall asleep dreaming of the dark brown dry rub on the outside of the ribs and the succulent pink inside smoked to perfection

Yep, that place was pretty great. I tried to visit it last time I went to Boston and was upset to see it was gone. So, yes, I'm excited about the new one, even though I don't live up there. Thanks for the good word.

Damn, you lucky Bostonians!!! I miss many things about my days in Beantown, but Jake & Earl's is one of the closest to my heart (and stomach). The vinegary pulled pork, the succulent brisket, those ribs!! I never set foot in the East Coast Grill until they cruelly took J & E away from me -- to order their stellar BBQ on a real plate, with all that extraneous non-BBQ stuff, was never the same. I pitied those friends of mine who went to school in Boston during those Jake & Earl-less years (it was, more than any other reason, and S+S, Christina's notwithstanding, THE reason to own a car and schlep to Inman Square). Hoping against hope to find something passably similar here in LA (Dr. Hogly-Wogly's just doesn't compare), but happy for you Bostonians who can now experience true carpetbagger BBQ mastery!

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Redbones in Davis Sq. They have great ribs and pulled pork sandwiches

the holy grail of BBQ leads us to
