A taste of Tennessee lingers with me. J,R's B-B-Q. J&R stands for Jeanine and Robert.
The pork ribs were spicy, tangy, good HOT! I was warned by the locals eating their dinners, not to order the ribs with the spicy sauce. I took their heed and was glad that I did. There was a nice heat that permeated from my palate, then went quickly to my head, after savoring that first bite. The sauce was wet and more than enough to cover the meat. It's smoking flavor, cooked in three different types of wood (hickory, oak, and pecan) was the signature for me. After eating the ribs the cole slaw helps to cool down the heat. J,R's baked beans had me wanting for more. The portions are very large. I ordered a small portion, getting home to what looked like to me, a very hefty portion at that! I can't wait to go back, I highly recommend it. The restaurant has been there on Blackwelder and La Cienega. since 1997.
