From 225: ‘Cue done right

Brian Medlin knew that opening a barbeque restaurant in Baton Rouge that both locals and travelers would love would be a challenge. Medlin is the owner of Smokin’ Aces BBQ (Map it!), and since opening last October, the “shack”-style joint has maintained a loyal customer base. The crowd favorite is undoubtedly the spare ribs, slow-cooked with the stop’s blend of spices and extra brown sugar. The recipe has been passed through Medlin’s family for years. To get a quick look at the other items Smokin’ Aces offers and more information, check out Jay Ducote’s article from the May issue of 225 here.
