Holy Smoques

Its a week later than promised but we finally managed to get to Smoque for our date night on Thursday. Attach your bibs and prepare to drool!

 

 

I picked up Hubby from work and we headed to this little gem of an American Bar tucked away in the city. I'd purposefully skipped lunch in anticipation of dinner...yes, I was that excited!

We rocked up at 7:30 & requested a couple of seats at the bar.

 

 

I ordered a G&T, Hubby went for a Samuel Adams and it took us all of about three seconds to decide to go for the BBQ Trifecta and Vegetable platters.

Sweet Mary Jane...it was a carnival of carnivorous delight.

 

And a veritable vege patch of pleasure!

 

 

You know what's great about going out on a date with the person you've been partners with for 13 years? The ability to sit and feast without the need for chit chat to fill the space.

Do you know what's great about going out on a date to a BBQ bar...the casualness of the joint. Rolls of paper towel on the counter, self serve cutlery if you don't feel like using your fingers and friendly staff.

 

 

We loved feeling completely comfortable just hanging out on bar stools, knees touching, reaching over each other as we tried different parts of the platter, with the occasional lipsmacking exclamation of "oh that is awesome, you have to try that" escaping from our lips.

 

 

Not really the stuff of first dates, not sure you'd impress a future partner with bbq sauce on your chin...but for those foodies who are all about flavour, this is one hell of a jackpot!

 

 

It was fun and laid back and completely delicious!

And because it was a night for being naughty...

 

 

Sweet Treats.

I'm kind of wishing now that we'd gone for the peanut butter and bacon icecream but the pecan pie was calling our name and we had to answer!

 

 

And answer we did...

 

We will definitely be back...
