G and I went to dinner at The Chaparral BBQ and Steak House last night (Without the KIDS!) and it was awesome. We read that this place had good BBQ and we are always up for trying new BBQ.
We ordered baby back ribs and onion rings. While we were waiting on our food the owner came out and talked to a family at another table. You have to see this guy. He's crazy but he sure loves what he does! He came out of the kitchen in a white tee shirt and apron. I'm sure he had pants under there two but I don't remember for sure. He looked like a wild man. You would have never guessed he was the owner until you heard him start talking about his BBQ. I don't know what they ordered but it wasn't BBQ so he ran back in the kitchen and brought them a sample of his ribs. Super friendly guy and passionate about his restaurant and his food.
G and I ordered the ribs and onion rings. The owner came out to talk to us when our ribs came out and wanted to know what we thought. He told us that he smokes the ribs with cherry wood, uses a home made rub, homemade BBQ sauce, and they are in the smoker for 5+ hours at 225-250 degrees. This guy definitely knows what he is doing and his ribs were proof. His ribs were so tender it was like eating smoke flavored bread straight out of the oven with some BBQ sauce on top. Fantastic texture. G liked the taste more than I did but they were still the best we have had in a long time (except my own of course ;)
So back to the owner. He's talking to us asking what we thought and everything. We tell him how ribs and pulled pork are our favorites. He asked if we like Carolina style pulled pork. G said "hell yea!" and he runs back into the kitchen and comes back with a thinly sliced pork shoulder sandwich with coleslaw and vinegar based sauce. It was awesome! All told we spent about $50 there for dinner. We will definitely be back, that crazy owner makes some awesome BBQ.

Hello there sir! You may be interested to know that I'm the daughter of that "crazy" restaurant owner!! However, I don't resent your comment... far from it, in fact. I can overlook that. After all, if passion and being friendly makes you crazy, well, then there are certainly a million things in this world that are far worse to be. I'm just glad that you like the food, and that you are willing to tell people that! Continue to spread the word. If you'd like to contact me, my e-mail is schric_k@denison.edu, I would love to hear from you at some point!
