Have you tried Red Dog Saloon’s sharing extravaganza?
With its seriously stacked burgers glistening with marrow butter and its oh-so-smoky low-and-slow barbecue style, Red Dog Saloon has always been a bit extra.
Well now their barbecue platters are showing us just how far Red Dog can go. They are massively extra. Put it this way, Red Dog have probably had to reinforce the tables.
They are meant for sharing. Good thing too. They could feed an army, never mind you and your mates.
They are meant for sharing. Good thing too. They could feed an army, never mind you and your mates. Given that each platter is named after an American warship, perhaps feeding the navy is the idea.
These barbecue platters are not cheap but you won’t need to eat again for the rest of the weekend and this meat is pure quality, slow-cooked in smoker imported direct from Oklahoma. They start at £27.50pp with a minimum of two sharing and that’s just the entry level meat feast.
If you’re hungry, really, really hungry, you can chow down on the daddy of them all: the USS Kentucky for £32.50pp.
That refined little morsel is made up a choice of a burger or a BBQ sandwich, St Louis cut pork ribs, hot links sausage, hickory smoked buffalo wings, burnt ends mash, slaw, 4-way pork shoulder mac & cheese and dill pickles. Just a dainty mouthful, eh?
And if that sounds like a teeny weeny diet portion, you can always add a slice of pie to your platter for £4.50. Well, there is a very Desperate Dan feel to it all, so why not?
Each platter is a mix of all the good stuff so you can always get your favourite bits of American barbecue goodness. If your fingerlickin’ feast has to be accompanied by onion rings, go for the USS Wisconsin. If you’ve got a beef with beef and just want Nashville chicken in all its various forms, the USS Indiana is a dead cert. You get the idea.
You haven’t had a barbecue until you’ve had a barbecue platter at Red Dog Saloon.
Before you nip to the petrol station to get some charcoal, book a table at Red Dog instead. This is what a real barbecue tastes like. Not some supermarket sausages on that little disposable thing in your back garden.
