as seen in the Kansas Star
The boys brought us to this really happening joint in Soho - Bodean's BBQ - to watch the KU vs. Kentucky game last Tuesday (they loyally trooped down again at unearthly London hours for the KU vs. S. Illinois and vs. UCLA game, where the Jayhawks finally bowed in honourable defeat, after reaching the Elite Eight). Look at my face: college basketball is very very very important - if they lose one game, they're out for the entire season. *giggle*
The gang went gaga over pulled pork and burnt ends, but what really pushed my buttons were the ribs! Sweet smokey baby back goodness, the bestest in town (no wonder we catered a few kilos for The Boy's birthday party!). This is the place for one of the best secret deals in town too - a pig out meal: pulled pork, ribs, coleslaw and chips - all for 10 quid! Yummilicious brownies and such too, but DO NOT order the corn on cob - overpriced and not very good. Have I said it already? Very good ribs and pulled pork.
You can choose to dine in the elegant area downstairs (leather banquettes and all), or in the rowdy woody bar upstairs (personally, I would opt for dinner downstairs and digestif beer upstairs). The funniest things was, the guy who started up Bodean's in London used to do his smoking just down the road from The Boy's parent's place... And lets not forget the basketball. There's a lot to recommend this place, especially if you are American looking for home in The Big Smoke... or into college basketball, or really just some good solid down-to-earth bbq.
Also in Clapham and Fulham.
