It seems that over the last year, a few bbq joints
have opened up around me and happy am I! After all the
bbq I had on the road trip this summer, I couldn't get
enough of bbq.

Hog Hollow, on Rte 57 near Stryker Road (I think this
is in either Franklin or Broadway), opened awhile ago
but I never got there. Yesterday, I finally did.

Steve & I went there for lunch and it was terrific.
The pulled pork came either on a kaiser bun or
something like it, or on a platter with 2 sides. We
had it with 2 sides - I had baked beans and Tennessee
Spicy Slaw and Steve had baked beans and regular slaw.
The spicy slaw was not that spicy. The owner told me
that she puts some cayenne based hot sauce in it. It
was good though.

She also showed me the collection of hot sauces they
have - 3 of them and a few bbq sauces that were on a
shelf she couldn't reach. We tried all of them. The
best was the Jack Daniels habanero sauce. Had lots of
flavor and some heat. The one with the least had XXX
on it. The one that was the hottest said "this is the
hottest sauce in the world" or something like that on
it and it had a skull hanging from it. Wasn't from
Blair's though. It was very hot and did not have any
flavor at all. They also make their own bbq sauce
there, and sell it canned if you like it enough.

The owners were very nice. The food was very good and
the prices were ok. It was $7.00 for a sandwich and 2
sides. 

The other bbq joints are Broadway BBQ which is about 1
mile from Hog Hollow and they are opening another
Broadway BBQ in Washington, off Rte 31.

Wanted to let other New Jerseyites, and Warren County
folk know that these places exist. 

I intend to try Broadway BBQ soon. Looks very good
too.

All I know is the smell that comes from Hog Hollow is
amazing - like mesquite, I think. It could've been
hickory though. Just yummy.
