1. PREPARE
Before we even set that hickory-smoked goodness on the table in front of you, there are a few things that you can do to get ready. First, plan your wardrobe wisely. Dark clothing hides stains fairly well if they happen, but if you wear white, you're practically guaranteeing that the BBQ will land on your clothing at some point!
Next, make sure that napkins are placed strategically near you, and a small stash of wet naps close by will really come in handy too. Finally, make sure that there is plenty of space around you for that mountain of BBQ-smeared napkins that will be piling up so that they don't spill into your neighbor's personal dining space.
2. PICK YOUR FORM
The less-messy option for eating BBQ is to use a knife and fork. (But where's the fun in that?) Sometimes, the best thing to do is just pick it up and dig in! After all, you already prepared to get messy in step #1. If you use the tips of your fingers to hold those mouthwatering morsels, you may at least be able to contain most of the mess to the end of your hands.
3. LEAN INThe best way to avoid getting sauce all over your clothes is to lean over your plate. That way, any of our housemade BBQ sauce that makes its way past your defenses will hopefully drip onto the plate rather than onto you. We completely understand if you forget about this step because you are so consumed with the euphoria of delicious flavors in your mouth that you get a bit distracted. If you've put one of those napkins in your lap, and maybe even tucked another into your shirt, your clothes may still be safe.
4. SAVOR
Hopefully you're eating with a group of people that don't mind letting you get kind of messy, because you need to take some time to savor the explosion of incredible hickory-smoked flavors that are happening. Your friends should be just as messy as you are at this point, and if they're not, then you know they're super jealous! Don't bother using napkins for every bit of BBQ that ends up on your hands. "Finger-licking good" is a common phrase around here for a very good reason.
5. CLEAN UP
Once you've "cleaned your plate," or at least eaten as much as your stomach can hold in one sitting, that's when you can worry about wiping away any last bits of your meal that didn't make their way into your mouth. (Hey, it happens!) You've got your trusty wet naps close by, and we've got plenty of soap in the bathroom if things really got out of hand.
There you go. Five simple steps to help you successfully make it through your meal at the best BBQ restaurant in Des Moines. Follow them and you just may leave as clean as you arrived.
