SNAPSHOT: KITE'S KAT HOUSE & BBQ 05-31-14

I spotted Kite's Kat House & BBQ in Ravia, Oklahoma on Oklahoma State Highway 22 on my way to Tishomingo to try Blue River Ribs.

They weren't there back in January when I had my lunch date with Miranda Lambert at Rockin Rib in Tishomingo but it looked like they were making it a permanent location because the wheels were off and the trailer was up on blocks. They had also erected a sheet metal smokehouse behind the trailer.

You can kind of see the smokehouse in the pic I took below of a grill they have attached to the back of the trailer. I didn't notice it there when I took the picture or I would have gotten a better shot of it.

After Jack's ribs were my highest rated slab, and 3rd over all in the inaugural Broken Rib Tour. I decided I wanted to go back and try them again.

On this visit I went with the 2 meat combo, sliced brisket & ribs, and I added sausage. For my sides I chose macaroni salad and garlic cole slaw.

On this visit to Back Door Barbecue I ordered the 3 Meat Dinner. I had not tried the sausage on my prior visits so I ordered the Jalapeno Cheddar Sausage along with Brisket (Moist), and Oklahoma Tenderloin (Bologna) with creamed corn and fried onions/jalapenos.

SNAPSHOT: KOSMO'S BBQ 01-24-14 & 01-29-14

Visited Kosmo's BBQ for the first time on 01-24-14 and ordered two of their basic sandwiches, chopped brisket and pulled pork.

CHOPPED BEEF SANDWICH:

Knowing that Kosmo's also sells injections and rubs for competition cooks. I wouldn't be surprised at all if this brisket has been shown a little more love than your typical Okie Brisket.

Served on a buttery toasted bun. The meat, while chopped finely, has a great texture and is moist with just a hint of smokiness and really good flavor.
