While I was working yesterday Paul spent the day walking across the bridge to Quebec and visiting the Museum of History. He got the better end of the deal.
After I finished I lounged in the room waiting for Paul to return. Once he did we headed out to do some shopping. As we wandered we walked past a BBQ joint I've noticed on my many trips to Ottawa (how could you miss the smells of smoking meat . . . .) but have never been in to eat. WE decided to head back there for dinner.
Located down in the Bytown Market, Fatboys seemed like a family friendly biker bar. Yes, I know that sounds contradictory, but that's what I thought. Inside is a big open space that has a mix of sports memorabilia, motorcycle memorabilia, and BBQ memorabilia. A fun addition was the taps in the washrooms were motorcycle handles on a barrel.
Dinner - from the Southern Fried Popcorn Chicken served with white Alabama BBQ sauce . . .
. . . to Paul's fried chicken and waffles . . .
. . . to my smoked ribs . . .
. . . was great.
Some have criticized Fatboys for not being real southern BBQ. Well, we are in Ottawa, not the south. If this is as good as we can get where we are than I am a happy guy!
