Mobile Urban BBQ




ribs, mac and cheese, and collard greens
Phat Daddyz BBQ
Fridays and Saturdays at  2500 MLK Drive, Des Moines

There are two things I've been hunting in Des Moines like Ahab's white whale: a bbq truck and an African restaurant (that'll be a future post).  So coming across not one but both of these on the same block definitely merited a sketchy u-turn on MLK.  Phat Daddyz operates out of a winnebago and serves a variety of sandwiches, along with combos that feature ribs, catfish, and "hindquarters" (animal unspecified).  I got the ribs as you can see.  The sauce was a little on the sweet side for my taste ( I prefer a more vinegary, NC-style sauce) but the meat was great.  Tons of meat and came off the bone cleanly without a knife.  Collards and mac were solid too.  Big thumbs up!
