Bad New for Boogies Fans

Smoked boudin at Boogie's

The barbecue at Boogie’s Bar-B-Que was very good–and the smoked boudin was sublime. I had already taken a big time photographer out there to shoot some images for an article I was planning to write about the place. But then today I read on Chili Bob’s blog that this smoky little barbecue trailer caught fire and burned up. Damn!

Compare this photo with Chili Bob’s post to get an idea of the damage.

The owner, a big-hearted guy named Boogie, had already rented a space in the shopping center and he told me the was going to put a barbecue smoker in an enclosure out back. He said it was going to be a real smoker, not a Southern Pride stainless steel unit.

Chili Bob and I are going to miss that trailer.
