Type of place that people wait in line, or has been around for 50 yrs and you see lots of big guys with fat bellies! Where, please? I will travel 20 miles or so..... I have heard of Shorty's. Any place NOT part of a chain? Free standing independent. A little hole in the wall shack. Thank you!

On west side of Federal Hwy about 1 mile N of Boynton Beach Blvd. Take-out only, open random hours, usually "sold out" of most items, may want to bring a bodyguard or self-defense item. Other than that, it's great! :-) Here's everything you ever need to know about WPB BBQ: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/544949 http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/129748 http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/594280 Have fun and write up your findings. http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/592534 http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/588452 http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/134153 Fri Oct 30 06:11:44 -0700 2009 5142359 85951 CFByrne 1 5143052 Troy's (a shanty shack) is closest to you. More of a 'charcoal grilled with some smoke' type ribs than traditionally smoked. I do not recommend Shorty's, Lucille's Bad To The Bone, Park Avenue, or even Mississippi Sweets for that fact. But if you are not looking for real deal smoked BBQ ribs, then these places might be for you. Great links CFB! Fri Oct 30 09:58:26 -0700 2009 5142359 159150 freakerdude 2 5143296 Freakerdude! I was thinking of you last week when I was over in Sarasota for the day. I saw a neat "barn on wheels" BBQ trailer with a smoker in back of it. Called "Aldays BBQ". Mrs. Mac and I ventured over to see what was cookin' and lo and behold they had some fine looking ribs and boston butts smoked up. We bought a couple of pounds of the ribs and a HUGE chopped pork sammich and headed back to Ft. Pierce. They was some mighty fine ribs and the pork sammich was pretty tasty. The sauce was decent but everything is "less than" when you're used to "Blues Hog" or the "Pig Sauce" from the Pig in Jacksonville (Normandy Blvd). Overall excellent. You would have approved. And Mr. Alday is a pretty nice fella too and threw in a few extras for the ride home! EMac Fri Oct 30 11:06:47 -0700 2009 5143052 139206 LargeLife 3 5145692 What is Blues Hog sauce? Is that an award winning or popular sauce? I make a pretty good sauce here at home. I love trying out roadside BBQ. It's where you typically find the best.

It's thick, sticky, and sweet, but has a lot of spice to it as well. http://www.blueshog.com/ Mon Nov 02 07:33:23 -0800 2009 5145692 160165 johnmlinn 4 5154325 FD....Let's put it this way.....Blues Hog BBQ sauce....is a sauce that TOP WINNING KCBS contestants pour straight from a bottle and win championships with......It's an interesting sauce...a little sweet....with a little buzz....a myriad of ingredients....some you would expect....some you wouldn't.....Has a different character when cooled as compared to when hot.....Like EVERY sauce....some love....some don't.....But I have personally seen it poured right from the bottle on to meat....that went on to win KCBS MAJOR TITLES........with more than 100 teams competing......Emac Wed Nov 04 04:18:07 -0800 2009 5145692 139206 LargeLife
