I’ve been meaning to go to this place called redemption barbecue. It looks really good. They source local high quality pork from olive farms and some place in North Carolina for their grass fed brisket. Again I haven’t gone but it looks really good.

I used to make rolls for Redemption. Quality food, great conversations. John is passionate about life and it shows.

I live right down the street from Redemption. It’s fine, not even in the same conversation as ZZQ.

Honestly Richmond just doesn’t have that great of a barbecue scene. If you want good bbq you got to go down to North Carolina or Tennessee.

Yea definitely doesn’t compare to other places, but ZZQ is really good and I make my own bbq a lot too so it’s fine lol.

Making your own is probably the best way to do it. Barbecue is just too expensive for me for what you’re getting. I’d rather just go get a steak.

I only get it every so often, mainly because I would die of a heart attack if I ate bbq regularly, so I when I do I don’t mind paying the premium. Feels like a treat

You underestimate the amount of contrarian asshats in this sub with nothing real to add.
