Two-timing barbecue

If you live in the northeast and make the pilgrimage to Manchester for the city’s best barbecue, you can save your gas money. Holy Smoke Barbecue & Smoke Pit has a second location on 16th Avenue Northeast.

The menu offers up the same Sophie’s Choice of smoked meat with pulled pork and beef brisket. That decision is solved by The Manwich that combines both meats. The more difficult dilemma is which of the more than a dozen homemade sauces do you slather on.  Will it be the tangy Jack Daniels or the sweet South Carolina? Maybe a combination of both?

Whatever sauce you choose, your smoked meat will taste like summer in a sandwich even when there is snow on the ground. —Jaelyn Molyneux
