A dream of Josh Kramer, his father John, and Josh's wife Kara Ferris became a reality with Burnt Fork. Some of the meat is sourced from Moonshine Farms near Athens, Ga. Memphis-style ribs sport a tangy rub and come juicy as can be, while the pulled pork is moist and sweetly smoky, although a bit more "bark," or outside meat, would be good. With the pulled pork you’ll want the Carolina-style barbecue sauce, just vinegar and pepper. An "international" aspect references such dishes as Korean kalbi barbecue beef in a taco, or the plate of pork pibil, or barbacoa, Mexican barbecue cooked in a banana leaf and served with tortillas. Tofu is among the proteins offered as barbecue. The place makes three barbecue sauces as well as its own ketchup, smokes its own hams and bacon, bakes its own bread---that's Kara's domain--and makes its own ice cream. There's a decent wine list and good beers for quaffs, plus real lemonade.
