Barbecue is as essential to the 4th of July as fireworks. Tucson offers at least 15 local barbecue restaurants and food trucks, from Kansas City-style at Smokey Mo to Texas-style at Mr. K's.
Ellice Lueders Fourth of July is a classic summer holiday: in places that face enduring winters, Memorial Day and Fourth of July are opportunities to celebrate the weather in the company of loved ones with parades, swimming, grilling in backyards.
Luckily, a few emigrants from the cradle of barbecue have made their way to Tucson to share their cuisine with us: year-round, but especially on a day that celebrates the food and community that unify us. Though their top sellers are the sliced beef brisket or the pork ribs, when I visited, I saw people eating meals across the menu: hot links, BBQ chicken sandwiches, and, yes, brisket, which I ordered.
To order in advance for parties, call them at 520-792-9484 about a week ahead of time — June 27 would be ideal for Fourth of July pickup.Tucked off midtown’s First Avenue is Smokey Mo, Tucson’s premier spot for Kansas City-style barbecue. Smokey Mo channels the flavors of owner Ocie Davis’s childhood in KC with a secret recipe rub and a tangy, ketchup-based sauce.
To order in advance for parties, fill out the form on Smokey Mo’s website or call them at 520-203-8250. Ken Alexander’s recipes come from family and past generations in Tennessee, Kentucky and Oklahoma, as well as his travels to Texas and Memphis to learn more about his craft. My editor, Gloria Knott, loves their sloppy Joe, which is a mix of beef brisket and pork ends, and sweet potato fries . Ken calls their hot link sandwich, topped with brisket and coleslaw, a fan favorite — ordered, of course, with sweet potato fries on the side.
