The only reason I'm even blogging this is because of the singular experience of which has to be the world's worst BBQ. I can't even give these folks an F for effort, it was that bad. My employer, the Washington State Department of Corrections threw a BBQ beef dinner for a fundraiser. In the past the fundraisers that involved food usually were hamburgers, chili, nachos, salads and the like. I pulled into work last night and what the heck, its only 5 bucks for a BBQ sandwich, chips & a drink and I wasn't even paying.
Taste: I had a choice of Beef or Moose. Hmm.......moose? I'll take the beef please. Maybe I should have tried the moose because the "beef" still had the whip marks from the track. I probably would have had a more tender cut if I had tried to eat my work boot. I took a big bite of sandwich, chewed on it for 30 to 45 seconds and spit it back out. My new chompers from the dentist were no match for the under done rawhide passing as BBQ beef. 1 star.
Value: Well 5 bucks for an inedible sandwich, a bag of chips and a bottle of lukewarm water wasn't much of a bargain. I should have just given them 5 dollars and skipped this treat. 1 star.
Staff: Well, my friend and I were welcomed very nicely. The server was polite and his diligent poking around for the toughest piece of meat made it seemed like my best interest was uppermost in his mind. I'll give it 4 stars.
Ambiance: Riding into the parking lot I saw a smoker/grill in full tilt cooking mode and the smell was pretty good. The sight of meat spinning on the rotisserie fooled me into thinking that I was getting into something decent. It was a very picnic style of atmosphere. 5 stars.
Friends: I went out of my way to warn coworkers to make sure their dental insurance was payed up before trying this BBQ disaster. I actually saw other people in muster sawing at the "meat" with all of their might in vain attempts to choke it down. 1 star.
Overall I award the D.O.C. Employee Recognition BBQ 2 stars. Next time stick with the burgers and chili and leave the BBQ to the experts. Or at least leave it to someone who at least has one BBQ under their belt.
