Great barbecue in Biloxi

As many of you long-time, rabid Tim McDonald fans know, I’m always looking for great barbecue joints in my travels, and Biloxi has one of the best, both in terms of ambience and food.

The Shed in Ocean Springs is a local legend. There were fears it would not re-open after Hurricane Katrina, because it suffered severe flooding (they have a line drawn at the watermark, which is chest-high). But, it did come back, with a vengeance.

It’s basically a pile of junk the owner, Brad Orrison, has collected over the years, and it has more than its share of redneck chic – the chandeliers made of rib bones and beer bottles, for example. But, it all works.

They have a blues band every Saturday night, always crowded with “Shed Heads,” and an annual Blues Festival every November.

The food is great, classic, Southern barbecue. All the meat is hand-pulled at the place – that might sound disgusting to non-barbecue fans, but you die-hards will appreciate it.

The spare ribs are falling-off-the-bone good, as is the slow-smoked brisket.

Plus, they have good-looking waitresses wearing short skirts.

Hey Timbo, if you ever get into the Washington DC area, I can give you the skinny on the best non-franchise BBQ joints around here. We've even got one little hole in the wall here in Chinatown that serves the real deal Texas-style smoked meats. Just excellent.

You're on. Chris Baldwin was just ranting and raving about Texas barbecue, but he rants and raves about everything, so it's hard to tell.

Tim, does anyone edit you? First, there's the sexist remark about waitresses in short skirts. Then there's the glaring redundancy in the first sentence: "long-time, rabid Tim McDonald fans.'' As if you have any NON-rabid fans? I've always heard you attract people who foam at the mouth...

...and I confess it is true I attract people who foam at the mouth. Similarly, I am known to be attracted to those who do so. Witness the long line of women I left behind in Alaska.

Great BBQ. Great Italian. You wouldn't know great anything if you saw it. Texas has the best BBQ. Everything else is wannabe. Kind of like you are a wannabe writer. Great. Give me some more "Greats" ...

I guess you'd rather have me tell you about all the "terrible" places to eat, huh?

Sounds like you're from Texas, all right.
