Winter barbecue

Kloby%27s%201.jpg

 

Minatar sent me this photo and review of Kloby's, which I'm embarrassed to say I didn't know about. I thought I had at least heard about every decent place in the area.  I checked with  another barbecue expert who agreed it was excellent, so I thought I'd share his e-mail with you: ...

I know it is not the season for most people to think about BBQ (I never stop and BBQ almost every Sunday at the family get together) but I wanted you to know about Kloby's in Windsor Mill/Catonsville area. Of course, if you have already heard of them, then stop reading and don't waste your time here. I just thought that the next time you are in that area you should give them a try. I wrote up a bit about the place on my Google account and thought I would paste it below. (Please don't feel that I am trying to show you my cool writing skills. I write my reviews on Google for my BBQ friends. It's just easier than starting our own web site.)

Kloby's Backyard Barbeque Inc.

Kudos to Kloby's
Until I went to Kloby's, I never liked a wet rib. I have always been a dry rib kind of guy from as far back as I can remember. Kloby's found the formula for what I think is the best wet ribs I have ever tasted. Smokey, sweet, spicy, and tender. What else is there to say?! Their pulled pork is now on my top ten list and they have a different take on baked beans that I found a refreshing change from the generic brown sugar beans from most every other restaurant. The staff was very friendly and helpful. My favorite part was that you could tell everything was made from scratch and I don't think there was an ounce of MSG. I am not on the health kick when it comes to MSG, I just really hate it because the roof of my mouth and tongue are raw for days after I eat food laced with MSG. I honestly think that this BBQ is better than that other famous Baltimore place that was listed in the Zagat's guide.

Welcome to my world. After I went to Kloby's, Andy Nelson became a second thought.

BBQ never goes out of season! I'm a serious Andy Nelson fan, but based on Minatar's review and the comment from mr. bill, I'll have to check out Kloby's.

I like Kloby's just fine, but it doesn't rival Andy's to me. It's a good place though, and it was certainly closer to my old digs than Andy's.

I haven't tried Kloby's yet (but I will), but I have to compliment Big Bad Wolf Barbecue on Harford Road. They offer a bunch of diferent types of barbecue and rubs, but I've only had the North Carolina 'cue. I took a friend who's a North Carolina native there, and he said it was the only real NC barbecue he's had in Maryland.

Nice blog!
