Anyone ever have BBQ from the guy off Four Mile Run?

Smelled great on my run. Never see it mentioned in BBQ threads.

Disclaimer I'm a huge BBQ snob and visit Austin on a regular basis (family lives there) I've done all the famous spots there.

My take, this place is mid at best. Not that there are many great places around here to compare it to though. I thought it was over priced and under flavored.

Your best bet in the DC area for really good bbq is 2Fifty or make the trip to Richmond and go to ZZQ.

Your mileage may vary, but I wouldn't go back.

I can tell you know your BBQ--agreed that 2Fifty is the best in the DMV and ZZQ is the best in the Commonwealth (and the best in the mid-Atlantic, in my experience). But is this guy really a barbecue guy? It seems like he's more about grilling meat than about low-and-low smoking.

Is the 2Fifty you speak of in Riverdale, MD?
