Sometimes I discover a place that makes me want to write about it on the spot. Blu Smoke, in the charming beach village of Siesta Key, Florida, is one of those places.

If you enjoy barbque, in any style, good drinks, value prices and live music, join us at Blu Smoke. We devoured this succulant baby pulled pork with a few cold drafts while litening to local Island music on the outdoor deck.
.
My goal is to try new foods, drinks and places in the world. This is one resulution I will be sure to keep.
.
Blu Smoke features more than beer and pork. Next time we will try a slab of baby back ribs grilled over hardwood and slathered with homemade sauce.

Patrons I met were ordering smoked prime rib or steak with Blu cheese or Bearnaise. The sides are unique too. I like the braised red cabbage and the creamy slaw made with Blu cheese. Whether you like gourmet steak or chicken, Veuve Champagne, classic martinis or craft beer, Blu smoke has it.

Best of all, the owner, Ken and barbque chef, Ken, was out front to greet old friends and new. Bar manager, Smitty, prepared the perfect Sunday Bloody Mary.
.
This is a tasty start to a new year. If you are near Martha’s Vinyard in the summer, Ken also owns the Sand Bar in Oak Bluffs.
