Smokin'

Bayou Belly Buster, Sticky Gator BBQ and Soul Food Co.

I don't think I was supposed to do the Bayou Belly Buster ($12.99) in one sitting. I am not a man of unnatural appetite, but I do have a primal hunger for smoked meats. It figures that I would skip more reasonable options to order this outright provocation of a sandwich: pulled pork, tri-tip, hot links, green chiles, coleslaw, barbecue sauce. Not a pretty thing, but a thing of beauty, and a dense one at that. Put aside your dignity and put your hands and face right in, because there's no getting around it cleanly. For dessert, dump the fallen stuffing into a side of potato chip-laden mac 'n' cheese. 2322 K Street, http://stickygatorbbq.com.
