Phoenix is back on the map, BBQ-wise, with chef Rasshad Brown’s beef brisket, ribs, pulled pork, and rib tips. These dry-rubbed, pecan-smoked meats are generously slathered with Rasshad’s thick, Midwestern-style sauce -- either regular or hot -- and served with a choice of mostly Southern sides, such as mixed greens, rice and gravy, and candied yams. Desserts excel as well, particularly the pecan pie and sweet potato pie. The only disappointment on the menu is the peach cobbler, but the BBQ is so good, you won’t mind that much.
