There's a new player in town, and this is what we need!
My wife and I finally made it to 101 Smokehouse over a week after they opened, and I sure wish we went sooner.
Instead of a bite by bite critique, going to give you highlights.
The brisket was really good. The fat-to-meat ratio was perfect. The fat was buttery and the smoke ring was perfect as well!
The fried jalapeño cheese curds were wonderful (although I'm not sure that it was cheese curds) and that will be a mainstay of my future visits.

I visited the Kennedy Museum of Art while visiting Athens, Ohio from Cincinnati with my fianée for Thanksgiving. My fiancée's mother, who lives in Athens, took us to the museum on our first day in town. I loved the museum's layout and was absolutely giddy walking through the special exhibition of "collections." So, cool. I was also fascinated to learn the history of the location (a former asylum). I only hope the museum continues to grow and add more exhibits in the...
