Your New Favourite Source For Smoked Meat Around Edmonton
Depending on who you talk to and when you talk to them, just about everything tastes better when smoked.
And when it comes to smoking meat, lower temperatures over several hours is the best way to bring out flavour to die for in certain cuts of meat.
But one thing is always true when it comes to smoking meat: don’t expect to make any plans for the day. You can expect to spend anywhere from a minimum of six hours or more standing over or around your grill and you will never stray far from the handy phone app.
On the other hand, if you’re craving smoked meats in the Edmonton area, such as ribs, chicken, pulled pork shoulder and more, and don’t have 12 hours to wait for it to cook?
Head on over to Barbacoa in Spruce Grove instead.
It never compromises on its unique blend of smoke and char for a top-notch smoked meat experience you will be raving about for months on end.
Three smoked meat dishes you need to try this month
Slow smoked ribs
“We cook everything with a live fire and smoke over Alberta hardwood and mesquite charcoal,” states Barbacoa owner, Tyler Sorochan, and adds, “Items, such as our side ribs, are finished with an in-house bourbon BBQ sauce, and served with a warm potato salad comprised of fire roasted corn, bacon marmalade, pickled onions, smoked hard boiled egg, and a grainy dijon aioli.
“How we smoke—and how long we smoke—is as important for what we smoke. It sets us apart for elevating our guest experience—from sitting down to eat or grabbing smoked meat takeout for home.”
This call for culinary creativity is why local guides and guests alike call Barbacoa the best kept secret for BBQ steakhouses.
Pulled pork sandwich
Or maybe you are a fan of mouthwatering pulled pork sandwiches? The expert chefs at Barbacoa know the key to taking a meaty smoked pork shoulder to the next level.
The rule of thumb for making a fall apart pulled pork sandwich that’s worth the wait is to smoke it low—and smoke it slow.
And if the meat itself is not packed with enough real deal flavour for you, you can’t go wrong with your choice of side, such as deliciously infamous garlic fries.
Barbacoa sandwiches your sandwich between an artisan sesame challah bun from Benny’s—a local vendor in Edmonton, Canada—baked fresh for Barbacoa several days per week.
Smoked chicken
If it’s your first time eating at Barbacoa, regulars suggest you order one of their smokehouse BBQ staples: smoked chicken with crispy potato gnocchi, mushrooms, sweet peas and topped with bacon.
When it comes to their smoked chicken, smoking is one thing.
But finishing it off over a live flame to make the chicken skin extra crispy? Some have thought they died and gladly woke up in Valhalla.
If you are visiting for date night and looking for a meal to share, you’ll also love their half rack of smoked pork side ribs and smoked chicken with house rub, and served with warm potato salad and fire roasted corn.
