Roy’s Barbecue is smokin'
Dave Caldwell/MDNRoy Saul, owner of the newly opened Roy’s Barbecue Shoppe, shows off “Roy’s toy” – the smoker he uses to slow-cook meat, on Monday.
There are two kinds of smoke.
There is bad smoke, like the kind caused by fire that has become too familiar thus far this spring.
And then there’s good smoke. Really, really good smoke, like the kind you smell in Roy’s new neighborhood.
Who’s Roy, you ask? That would be Roy Saul, owner of Roy’s Barbecue Shoppe in downtown Minot. Roy’s opened on May 1 after several months in the planning stages.
Offering ribs, brisket and pulled pork along with a variety of sides, drinks and desserts, Roy’s has something to offer pretty much every lover of the sweet, smoky science.
“I kind of like to see people grab meat and go sit with their families or go picnic,” Saul said.
“It just falls apart,” Saul said.
