I was in the mood for some BBQ, and as I walked past BBQ House on Newport Ave, their menu outside caught my eye. The Rice Bowl immediately stood out, and I was honestly surprised I’d never thought to try it before as it’s exactly the kind of thing I love. I guess I’d always been sidetracked by their Sloppy Joe sandwiches, Pulled Pork burritos, and… well, too many other tempting options to list. But this time, I knew I had to give the Rice Bowl a shot.
It comes with a choice of brisket, pulled pork, grilled chicken, or ham, all served over steamed rice and baked beans, then topped with coleslaw and a choice of mild or spicy BBQ sauce. The combination sounded hearty and satisfying, with a great mix of textures and flavors. I decided on the spicy pulled pork, and from the very first bite, I knew I had made the right choice.
