This place opened under a different name in 1996/1997 while I was living in Salt Lake City. The very first thing Ihad there was a super moist brisket sandwich for lunch... It was amazing. It was still good the last time I went which was around 5 years ago. Last time I was in SLC about a year ago we ran out of time and didn't get to go...
Just tried another long-standing BBQ place in Midvale the other night (for comparison with my own Pit Barrel results). . . Very sad . . . sad, indeed. Then, tried another "famous" place (initials: F D), and it, too, while better, still did not measure up. Good quantit but very little smokey flavor. Haven't tried Sugarhouse BBQ and have heard good things about it, but think I'll stick with my own world-famous (at least in my own mind ) BBQ (Memphis Dust; Huskee's Rub, etc.). And, it's a LOT cheaper!
Scotch: Current favorite- The Arran (anything by them), Glenmorangie 12yr Lasanta, sherry cask finished. The Balvenie Double Wood, also like Oban 18yr, and The Glenlivet Nadurra (Oloroso sherry cask finished) among others. Neat please.

There's a BBQ place in Mt Pleasant, about 20 min south of me, the town where CMU is. It's a little diner-sized place. I have no desire to even try it, I've been let down so much by BBQ joints.
Best current BBQ place in Salt Lake area right now is R&R BBQ downtown. Rave reviews and I have eaten there on several occasions and have never been disappointed. Try it if you are local or next time you are in Salt Lake City. You won't be disappointed! Pat's BBQ (featured on drive ins, diners, and dives) is a good second choice after R&R and it is close to downtown, just south off 2100 s.
