DANCING ALL NIGHT = GOOD TIMES

You know you have had a good time when you dance the whole night. We went to a barbecue at a friends home last night and really had a good time. 
It was in the most interesting location...a Manhattan style apartment in an industrial area. No one would ever know it it even there. It is above their business and I wish I had pictures for you but alas I thought that wouldn't be appropriate. 
We had a barbecue of steaks and salmon that were mouth watering and we all brought side dishes. So many interesting salads. I especially enjoyed a cucumber mint salad. 

 It was perfect for such a hot night. We have been enjoying a bit of a heat wave here and we are not used to it. 

There was a live band playing mostly songs from the 60's (no...not the actual Kinks but lots of this kind of music which those of us of a certain age can relate to ....and dance to all night long) which is right up my alley as I have my own DJ show on Blip.fm that I fill with the great tunes from that era. The warehouse doors were open wide and we were dancing outside. They did play other stuff too but really that was the stuff that got us moving. We danced and sang all the words. My throat was sore the next morning from singing so much. Lol. 
We had so many laughs and such a good time.We  got home about 1:30 in the morning.

TALK ABOUT A HOT ROD

My BB Guy went to a seminar up in Kelowna, B.C. last week and he was asked to man the barbecues for one evening. The barbecues belong to the owner of an auto body chain who helped with the cooking.

These "Car-B-Ques" are so cool. You would not  believe how much they cost to make. What man wouldn't love one of these. He would be the envy of  the whole neighborhood.

I love the flames up the fenders. Perfect for the grill.

I can hear Hank Hill and the boys going "Yup" "Uh huh" all over these.

BARBECUE, BAR-B-Q, BAR-B-QUE OR PLAIN OLD GRILLIN'

We love barbecue at our house. We love it all. We love ribs, briskets, butts, chicken, salmon, burgers, kabobs, grilled corn, grilled peppers, potatoes. You name it.
When traveling my BB Guy just loves to find new barbecue places to try. He takes large groups of customers to these venues and they have huge feasts.

Here in the Vancouver area we have a a super place to get barbecue. Memphis Blues has 5 outlets now. Oh my word the food is good. They don't take reservations and they are small places so the lineups can get long. They are diner style and really casual.You can order individual dishes or huge platters of food for a group. These have ribs, brisket, sausages, chicken, beans, cole slaw, potato salad, sauces and fries on them. The Elvis platter is usually what we get for a group.
As they say on their website "Baah-be-cue, it ain't just for breakfast anymore"

Now this is what I want from you. What great barbecue places are in your area or do you know of? I want names and places people. I want to know what is so awesome about them too please. We would love a list for future reference when we travel.
