Comforting Desserts

While all things barbecue--from meats to sides--tend to fall squarely along regional and state lines, desserts are all over the map. In areas where the 'cue is almost identical, it's the desserts that often distinguish one joint from another. They give proprietors a chance to have a little fun.

So whether you prefer fruit-filled fried pies, hot-from-the-oven cobblers, or the simple comfort of creamy Banana Pudding, we've assembled something for everyone.
