Sorry. Didn't want to offend you
Anyway, all meats and all sides is the only way to go if you want to try everything imo. On top of that, Tipsy graciously added the lamb ribs to the platter and they were extremely awesome. I second what icon said about them earlier. The lamb takes the smoke on perfectly.
My favorite was the brisket. Cooked perfectly. Great bark and great taste. Followed by the ribs (pork and lamb), pulled pork, chicken and then sausage. But don't let that make you think any of it was bad. It is more of a great to less great.
I don't usually eat sides but told myself I had to. I loved the jambalaya and the collared greens. I even tried the pork and beans which I liked.
I tried all the sauces as well. My wife and I both settled on the nola east sauce.
My wife thought everything was great as well. I wish I had time to go back. The place was busy the whole time I was there ( Sunday 1-3ish)
And as others have said, it was a treat to meet Neil. He took time out of his busy day to chat with us for a few minutes. Hardly self important and far from portly.
All in all, awesome experience and am psyched that we were able to make it down.

New entree / side started today: Smoked Veg Plate with onions, peppers, garlic, eggplant, squash, zucchini, portobellos, and grilled bread.
Also started jarring up my pickles for sale...and escabeche (pickled jalapenos, carrots, onions) and both are on sale as sides or the whole jar.
I can tap the farmers market crowd and any vegetarians / vegan friends of mine out there....and gives me something to do while im here all morning long everyday.

Is this an every day thing? If so,

If I were to stop by with my wife one day I'm pretty sure the order would be one all meat, all sides and one smoked veg. She'd obviously try everything on my plate while jealously guarding hers for herself. If the veg dish wasn't there she might be harder to convince to repeat the visit, but would order the chicken the first time at least. In short, powerful means to get repeat customers by appealing to the more health conscious crowd (read: wimmenfolkyep....for now at least. imagine a bbq joint that caters to vegans too. cats & dogs living together. mass hysteria.Is this an every day thing?

I'm going to be down in New Orleans during Mardi Gras for my cousin's wedding. I've already got my whole family excited about trying out New Orleans' hottest new BBQ restaurant. I can't wait to finally experience the glory of McClure's after following Neil's experience here for years.

Another barbecue lover took to Facebook: “If only the truck had collided with a truck carrying salt, brown sugar, vinegar, and chili powder, and the whole thing became lodged under an overpass that kept the temperature at about 275 degrees.”Tipsy - my condolences, I know you weep for tragedies like this.

Popping Up for Lunch @ the Rusty Nail today for the 1st time....they have never had lunch open ....i'm guessing 25 guests just to be generous to myself today. Small beginnings...

So how does that work. Do you need to have another smoker on hand when you pop up. Do you cook by Mcclures and then transport it
Good luck either way

I have been to McClure's probably 7 or 8 times since Tipsy opened and it's really been excellent every time.
I went by on Monday and Neil had read beans and rice. Got a side of pork and a drink for about $10. Great value and the red beans were outstanding.
Even if you've eaten there a bunch of times, stop by. You never know what Tipsy might have up his sleeve that day.
Tipsy, when I left on Monday I even called Tom Fitzmorris' show on my way home. He said his wife loves your place. He hasn't gotten by yet, but he says he has tasted his wife's stuff and he said your ribs were top shelf. So, maybe he'll stop by one day...

This is smart strategy. Don't let the menu get stale... frequent unannounced (or only announced via social media) little specials like that do wonders to drive repeat business.

No. I'm just excited for a buddy's success.
At best the Comp BBQ Team we are both on competes under the McClure's name, so TV exposure could potentially help our cause with onsite judging at Memphis in May. However, no, I have no financial stake... just a rooting interest for a friend.--
UPDATE:
The Judges & TV Crews are in the house right now filming for the "New Orleans : BBQ Wars" episode
Gllll tipsy.

Man....another tv show lined up and a short filming session with a pbs web series tomorrow. the next tv show should be about the biggest positive thing to ever happen to me professionally...but I'm assuming a lot. Cannot mention the show or host so if you know please keep it quite. I will hint...y'all probably know the host but the concept is brand new and i'm one of the first episodes. A national tv commercial is how I see it panning out....
Meanwhile.....Here comes my largest catering order yet thanks to a recommendation from FBG cactus to some folks visiting from Arizona that brought a friend in getting married. She loved the food.
And the last three weeks have now surpassed my opening 3 weeks average. I didn't think i would get back to that level until my 2nd or 3rd year. It has been a painful last 6 months, but light is starting to shine at the end of the tunnel. Sunday was our largest crowd yet. I finally need more help here!
Now...I have to clean my 3 & 4th case of collard greens for the week.
