Lawrence Barkers works the pits in the parking lot that front his restaurant, Country Time BBQ, every day. And as a result, even when the pits aren't going, the smell of that smoke infiltrates the air, the shack, your car's interior and, best of all, the food at Country Time, which is some superlative 'cue.
Here are a few photos to go with this week's review. To get another taste of Country Time BBQ, check out our slide show.

Laura Shunk was Westword's restaurant critic from 2010 to 2012; she's also been food editor at the Village Voice and a dining columnist in Beijing. Her toughest assignment had her drinking ten martinis and eating ten Caesar salads over the course of 48 hours. She still drinks martinis, but remains lukewarm on Caesar salads.
