ribs, mac and cheese, and collard greens |
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!
