Enroute to our short break on the Granite Belt I had a hankering for BBQ Ribs.

In Warwick, the Bluebird Cafe and Smokehouse sounded like it would get the job done, but sadly no.

Ribs only in the evening. 😩

It was a clear warning sign.

But we decided to eat there anyway.

I went for the pork, around half of which was fat and skin. Presumably from the whole hog cooked the previous night.

Mrs H had the brisket taco.

It was tiny. A grand total of two bites.

While Miss H opted for the brisket loaded fries.

The puddle of oil at the bottom was enough to cook another 20kg of fries.
