When you think of BBQ, the southern and the western parts of the country come to mind, but up here in the north, we can still find that mouth watering traditional fare. We all know that there are a few BBQ restaurants in Connecticut that really pack flavor into their food. But there is one spot that serves the best wild west BBQ and you are definitely going to want to check it out.
The place is Hoodoo Brown BBQ and it is earning quite a reputation for taking meat to a whole new level in a wild west BBQ style. It is probably fitting that this joint is located in Ridgefield on the western border of Connecticut.
The restaurant is named after Hoodoo Brown who was quite the character. He was a bank robber, moon shiner, cattle herder, justice of the peace and a cook who exemplified life in the wild west. His spirit is celebrated by the best Texas style BBQ that you can find in Connecticut.
