Smokin Pete's in Ballard neighborhood of Seattle, WA

[Barry CB Martin]

My friend Julie Reinhardt - author of She Smoke - and her husband are partners in this joint.  And a true BBQ joint it is. Walk into the remodeled butcher shop and it smells like smoke and meat. The old meat cases are full of sides that would make a Southern child happy - collard greens, mac n'cheese, and more - finished with sweet potato pie.  Julie is a hoot and the place is fun.  Smack dab in the middle of Ballard - also known as the home of the Deadliest Catch fishing fleet.

Wow - what a great place. I saw a segment about them on BBQ America ( syndicated on PBS ).

Wow!  My sister ate there not too long ago and bought me a T Shirt.  Who would have thunk that "Ballard" would have a great BBQ joint?  Must smell better than dead fish.  I miss that area.

That's right Chuck, I forgot that is home for you! If CB likes Smokin' Pete's - it must be great.

Julie Reinhardt is a favorite person, author of She Smoke and a Char-Broil All-Star.
The food is "good" --- best I've found in the NW within a reasonable drive and - because she's like family - I enjoy the experience.

Wow CB when I first saw you mention Smokin Pete's I thought you were talking about my Blog:  Smokin' Pete's BBQ Blog which I use to document my smokes/cooks

I was asked recently by Kevin's BBQ Joints (www.kevinsbbqjoints.com to write about my Top 5 BBQ Restaurants and Julie's place made this list.

Great, great place.
