The Shed BBQ, Ocean Springs MS

I can't believe it's been a year since we have journaled our culinary expeditions. This journey was totally worth it. The Shed is about an hour and a half drive from New Orleans (I10 East to Exit 57 in Mississippi). The atmosphere is every bit as "junky" as you hope it will be. That's because owners Brad and Brook went dumpster diving for all the furniture and decor. . . if I'm lyin' - I'm dyin'. There is a plethora of philosophical profundity scattered around the walls and ceiling too. The staff is bright and full of fun. The food was really excellent. I'm not a big BBQ fan, so when I rave about smoky grub it has to be lean, with a truly unique balance of sweet, spicy, and smoky. We rolled in with a party of four, and had smoked sausage, pulled pork, brisket, and baby back ribs. The array of sides included cole slaw, baked potato salad, baked beans, and macaroni salad. Your meal is served in a to-go box, but we didn't need ours - whew! With soft drinks the total for four was $73 including a good tip. Next time we'll go for the evening and take in the live tunes. Don't miss this treasure.
