RW’s BBQ Creates Musical Mecca

RW’s BBQ is now featuring Live music Friday and Saturday evenings.

“What I have here says RW is a bar stool that beckons local and visiting artists to pick up an acoustic guitar and play.” “ If you want to play, I want to listen. That’s all there is to it. BBQ and Blues or rock or country or just good music to share with friends and family is what it’s all
about.”

RWs BBQ is quietly becoming a regional destination for fantastic authentic Southern BBQ, but that’s where the story begins. Owner RW (a nick name bestowed while working with the Rolling Stones) has been entrenched in the music and production world as an Emmy winning Producer and Engineer for over thirty years.  Stones, Journey, James Taylor, Gloria Estefan, Pat Benetar, Hall and Oats, and
a thousand others are part of Ron’s legacy.  Now combining his passion for making great BBQ and Music, Wishna offers
musicians the opportunity play and is happy to share from his wealth of experience… and maybe tell a war story or two. Blues and BBQ has been a long time tradition down south and when you walk through the door of this quaint roadside establishment you are taken away by RW’s music memorabilia and live concerts playing on video screens. The atmosphere is a place for families to gather and bond.

 

RW’s is looking for talent for the upcoming 2012 outdoor season where they will host a summer long battle of the bands.

Recipes: Barbecued Meats

Posted on by Connecticut Barbecue

Barbecued Meats

These are not to be confused with our secret recipes, but we thought you might like to try BBQing at home.

Reported Four Time “Memphis in May” World Championship Rib Winning Recipe

Ingredients for 1 Recipe:

—————-DRY RUB——————————-

10 tb Black pepper

10 tb Hungarian Paprika

5 tb Chili powder

5 tb Red pepper

5 tb Garlic powder

3 tb Celery salt

1 tb Dry mustard

————–FINISH SAUCE—————————–

32 oz Hunt’s Ketchup

8 oz Soy sauce

4 oz Worcestershire sauce

1 tbs. Garlic powder

8 oz Apple cider vinegar

4 oz Apple juice

1 tbs. White pepper or to taste

I prefer to use baby back ribs, and remove the membrane from the back side of the ribs in order to let the smoke permeate the meat. To remove this membrane a stubby Phillip’s screw driver works great to get the membrane started. Start on the narrowest part of the rack then peel the membrane off toward the thickest part. This seems to work best if you closely adhere to the “plenty of beverage” rule aforementioned on the “recipes” page.

Mix dry rub ingredients. Rub into pork ribs. Put rubbed ribs into the refrigerator for 4 to 10 hours before cooking. Bring sauce ingredients to a boil. Then add 1 finely grated onion, 1 grated medium Golden Delicious apple and 1/4 grated small bell pepper. Cook until desired thickness. Cook prepared ribs for about 5 1/2 to 7 hours over charcoal kept at 180 to 200 degrees. Baste occasionally with warm apple juice. Use soaked apple-wood chips in the fire to create a sweet flavor. About 30 minutes before serving, brush ribs with finish sauce. Right before serving, sprinkle on dry rub. Serve sauce on the side.

TIP: Don’t rush the cooking process.

Basic Barbecue A pork butt or shoulder. This can be sliced or pulled to serve.

I hadn’t intended to include this recipe since I thought we all knew how to fix “Q”.

Recently, due to several E-mail requests I feel inclined to add this one.

Thanks to Meredith Young for reminding me we’re not all born to barbecue!

Depending what part of the country you’re in will depend on the cuts of meat available or at least what they’re called. You’ll most likely want a pork roast, “butt”, or Boston butt. Sometimes they’re called a shoulder depending how much bone is left in. A true shoulder is huge, its the full front leg, skin and all, of the hog from the shoulder joint to just above the hoof and is usually only used in competitions. A “butt” is only the portion that most folks might consider as the hog’s actual shoulder and weighs about 8-12 pounds.

Before cooking, preferably the night before, rub the meat liberally with yellow mustard and a meat rub. There are several good rub recipes on my site. I don’t know if you can get it where you live, but my favorite rub is “Konriko® Hot ‘N Spicy Creole Seasoning” mixed with garlic pow

Backyard Grills are what most of us would use for friends and family gatherings, or a small meal cooked on a grill.

The grills listed below are top quality and will provide long service if they are properly maintained. Prices vary considerably, you get what you pay for!

Always remove any ashes left in the grill after the grill is allowed to cool! Ashes are like acid to the metal surfaces, and will quickly ruin the grill .

A true barbecue fan wants a high quality wood or charcoal grill, but for speed and ease of use, go with the simple and clean L.P. gas.

RW’s BBQ – Brookfield, CT

Posted on by Connecticut Barbecue

reviewsL W. Goldens Bridge, NY Compliment

10/6/2011 Good food in a fun setting. This was my first visit. I tried both the Memphis Ribs and the Beef Brisket. I preferred the brisket.

I also recommend you try both the RW Red sauce and the Eastern Carolina lemon vinegar sauce. Both are tasty!

Collard greens and baked beans were also good.

The miniature golf course is small, but it wasn’t a busy day so it was fun to play with my wife.

RW’s BBQ Review from Mike T.

1 friend145 reviewsMike T. Fairfield County, NYC & Beyond Ridgefield, CT Compliment

10/20/2011 Don`t let the mini-golf course scare you away from the food. Although normally such a thing would be a sign that food would be iffy, that is not the case here. Traditional BBQ dishes such as ribs, pulled pork, brisket are on the menu. As well as traditional sides like collard greens, fries, beans, etc.

It is fairly small, with some indoor seating and some outdoor tables too. The staff is friendly and quick. While the BBQ is not amazing, its most certainly not bad. We tried out the brisket and pulled pork and both were better than your average place, be it the corner store or a chain restaurant. One thing that could be improved is a better beer selection. I would suggest they stock some beer from the smaller companies in CT,NY & MA.

RW’s BBQ Review from Steve S. 0 friends1 reviewSteve S. Brookfield, CT 10/24/2011 Loved it! My 16 year old loved it!

The food was excellent, true to real southern BBQ served on white bread with sauce on the side. Why sauce on the side? because of the real slow smoked for 12 hours process the way it’s supposed to be done. Thats where the real flavor comes from! New atomoshere, tastefully redecorated and featuring music videos all day and night…Blues and BBQ seems like a natural and it kept my son from staring at his phone, we talked , we ate, he loved the music, life was good. A totally unique dining experience for this area. Ps they are offering free minigolf for the rest of the season with every meal purchase.
