Smoke Daddy's Review of Smittys Market

MAIN FARE:

• Pork Chop - Oh my.  Juicy.  Good flavor.  On par with Kreuz: Better up front, but meat is a little chewy on the finish.
• Lean - Very good, but maybe a bit too firm today (similar to Mueller's)?
• Moist/Fatty - Marbled mix of meat and fat. Better than Kreuz.
• Sausage - Good flavor, but insides are "mushy".
 

OTHER FARE:

• "Now Serving Beans" - Standard pintos.

ATMOSPHERE:

• Same old, historic building that Kreuz inhabited for so long
• Pit area is the same great experience, with flames licking your feet as you walk in the door
• Doesn't look as if process or cooking technique has changed
• Flavor profile of meats is nearly (but not quite) identical to Kreuz.  It will be interested to see if changes come 
• along to differentiate, or whether they concentrate on getting better using the same model as Kreuz
• New paint in dining room, and a few fixes noticeable (not $100-200K worth, though)
• No paper towels on the tables?
