Well, finally what looks like quality Q is coming to Miami Beach. We are
normally forced to drive to Ft. Lauderdale to Tom Jenkin's.
A group of guys, one of which is from Texas and worked for Sonny Bryan's is
opening up "Scrap Bar and Smokehouse". They showed me the electric smoker
that had a wonderfull light hickory smell. They're taking over a failed
Brazilian bar/restaurant. If they turn out to offer good Q, my hopes are
that they can maintain in this very south american area. They expect to open
early august.

Then menu has beef, ribs, ham, pulled and chopped pork (though that was
strange), chicken and turkey. I don't think smoked chicken will do well in
Miami Beach. Everyone is too used to the grilled or rotisory mojo style.
But, they have a full bar with lots of big flat screens and a good sound
system from the previous tenant.

Sounds good,. Hope the prices are in line.

It has no bearing on how this new place will work out, but it got me
thinking about Sony's. The original Sony's is quite unique. Basically an
old flat roof building with very little seating. Most people eat outside
standing around their cars. They cook the meat in a wood fired oven, feed
and stoked from out back. Open in late morning, and close when they sell all
the meat. (2-ish)

Used to eat there a lot when I worked in that part of town, and most days
the meat was unbelievable, but on occasion, it was fatty and a bit tough.
(Bad cow?)

4 or 5 years ago, they franchised the name, and there are now a few "Sony's"
around town, but nothing like the original spot. The new ones are open
regular restaurant hours, and all have modern ovens and such..

Good eating.

this also!
