Super Smokers BBQ shuts down

It's a sad day for barbecue fans in St. Louis. The St. Louis Post- Dispatch reports today that the Super Smokers BBQ chain of restaurants in the St. Louis area, including O'Fallon, Ill., has closed down.

Super Smokers was known for its great variety of sauces and the delicious dry rub of spices it put on its beef and pork. It most definitely will be missed.

Fortunately, I have a bottle of the Super Smokers St. Louis Style sauce in my kitchen cabinets, so I will be ready to go when barbecue season resumes in earnest, which also happens to be time when cycling season resumes in earnest!

At least there are good barbecue options near me, including Big Mama's Barbecue and Pigs-in-a-Poke Barbecue, both in Belleville.
