One of the great things about Redbones BBQ in Davis Sq is the counter. There’s the bar, where the bartenders are friendly. There’s the basement, where there’s plenty of room. There’s the main dining room, where you’re sure to get your fill. But the counter… aaah, the counter.
Seats five. View to the kitchen. If they fry an order of appetizers, anyone seated at the counter is sure to get a taste. And recently they have added, dear god, pickled pig’s snouts.
I ate some. It doesn’t taste bad. Not exactly good, mind you, but there’s a flavor of tanginess and salt from the pickling, and of fat and umami from the pig, and that’s about it. Best washed down with beer. Lots of beer.
There’s a restaurant review in this somewhere, I’m sure of it.
