B&B smokehouse is a barbecue joint on
the south side with roots that go back
decades I've been smelling burgers in
here since 1958 you can see here this
old sign my dad Hal Finley so this is my
dad's original establishment we added on
to the old building became our famous
being the smokehouse they are smoking
and serving delicious barbecue no one
flow is the way we do it here and
they're making barbecue sauce from
scratch daily I can't give you the
recipe but it is made in a huge kettle
their menu is extensive you do not know
what you're missing including an
off-menu grilled cheese sandwich that is
what barbecue dreams are made of butter
Texas toast gets toasted on the flattop
the bread gets flip and cheese gets
grilled on the outside for a cheesy
crispy layer big covered in shredded
cheddar cheese slow smoked marbled
brisket and crispy bacon more cheese
gets added and the sandwich gets covered
in barbecue socks
[Applause]
after its assembled the sandwich gets
cut cap and is ready to be devoured
everything looks and smells amazing so
right here this is the one y'all now
this is off the menu but this is their
bacon
brisket with grilled cheese sandwich it
has cheese on the outside cheese on the
inside and a ton of brisket and bacon to
make it happy take a bite out of this

joint serving killer sandwiches like
their off-the-menu grilled cheese packed
with bacon brisket and shredded cheddar
cheese
[Music]
and as she's on the outside cheese on
the inside and a ton of brisket and
bacon to make you happy so bread is
super toasted the cheese on the outside
really gives a lot of salty flavor
cheese is nice and melty but it's
holding together really really well and
then the brisket has great flavor on
there still has a lot of really rich
fatty goodness to it smoke flavor still
coming through the bacon is crunchy it's
delicious
now this isn't all the menu got to order
it does it as for the grilled cheese
sandwich with brisket and bacon on it
also on the menu a brisket bacon
barbecue cheeseburger a fresh beef patty
gets sizzling on the flattop then
shredded cheddar cheese and crispy bacon
get added on top the toasted buns get
topped with mustard onions pickles

handful of cheese on the inside butter

kind of meat you want on top you got
some veggies on the side I don't know

and the cheese chopped barbecue is
amazing it pairs perfectly with the
cheddar cheese that they're putting on
here
that butter in the middle oh wow B&B
