Shadow Shot Sunday 2 is back and we celebrated a birthday (mine - 58 should you ask :) yesterday. Instead of a restaurant, I requested (and received) a family meal from a classic low-and-slow BBQ restaurant, the fun, delicious and smoke-house traditional Smoke&Bones in nearby Derby.
What you see is what we had: ribs, brisket, chicken, 3 large sides, biscuits, Carolina mustard/vinegar and Kansas City BBQ sauces. The food was great with an unexpected side dish of shadows. As good as the food was, the conversation and family time together the best gift...and yes, there are leftovers - supper promptly at 6PM!
For Ruby Tuesday 2, I refer to our dinner out last Friday. The low-and-slow BBQ smoke house restaurant Smoke and Bones in Derby was our destination.
There is more ruby red in the cool sign that meets the max requirement for RT. Less red may be found in the rusty railroad bridge that sits behind this rustic eatery. For even less red, how about Allegra's brisket sandwich - a hint of pink. I should have taken a picture of the red BBQ sauce, but forgot...see more ruby delights at RT2!
Toby most graciously hosts the weekly architectural meme Whimsical Windows Delirious Doors. In this, we look for portals of interest.
Friday, Patti, Allegra and Itravelled two miles from our Ansonia home to neighboring town Derby to a delightful new BBQ restaurant, Smoke and Bones. It is about the only traditional low-and-slow barbecue in southern Connecticut.
The building dates back to around 1900, sits next to railroad tracks, and was a packing plant for the Armour meat company. The striped awnings add a bit of whimsical chic to the brick edifice.
Inside, diners are treated to this heavy steel door. Not pretty, yet its function is what defined its looks. As we know, the building is next to the RR tracks, so this door opened up to a dock where the beef were offloaded from a rail car all those years ago...
The food was smoked perfectly, I had sausage but the brisket looked divine. Great meals, great doors too!
