The term was made doubly confusing because he used it in the context of describing beer and grilling, which I immediately suspected was another Army term. As it turns out \u201cpop smoke\u201d is indeed an Army term. It\u2019s used to describe when troops use smoke to signal an incoming helicopter. Beer and grilling, on the other hand, has no Army connotation other than some of my retired Army friends consume both in mass quantities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small; font-family: Verdana;\">Jack\u2019s association of pop smoke with beer and grilling has nothing to do with his nostalgia for the good old Army days. He was trying to tell me about a recently launched (December, 2017) wood-fired grill and draft house called Devon\u2019s Pop Smoke Wood Fired Grill. Devon is the name of owner Jeremy Dow\u2019s year-old son. Pop Smoke, as you might have surmised, is a reference to the Army term, but more in a peacetime connotation than when used in under hostile conditions. When not under fire, the term \u201cpop smoke\u201d means \u201clet\u2019s get out of here and grab a beer\u201d or \u201clet\u2019s go somewhere to relax.\u201d What do you know? All my years in the Air Force I was popping smoke and didn\u2019t even know it.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_45037\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-45037\" style=\"width: 720px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-45037 size-full lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 720px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 720\/408;border: 4px solid black; margin-top: 3px; margin-bottom: 3px;\" data-src=\"https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Devon03.jpg?lossy=2&strip=1&webp=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"408\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Devon03.jpg?lossy=2&strip=1&webp=1 720w, https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Devon03-300x170.jpg?lossy=2&strip=1&webp=1 300w, https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Devon03.jpg?size=128x73&lossy=2&strip=1&webp=1 128w, https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Devon03.jpg?size=384x218&lossy=2&strip=1&webp=1 384w, https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Devon03.jpg?size=512x290&lossy=2&strip=1&webp=1 512w, https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Devon03.jpg?size=640x363&lossy=2&strip=1&webp=1 640w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-45037\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Spicy Wild Game Gumbo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small; font-family: Verdana;\">The curiously named Devon\u2019s Pop Smoke Wood Fired Grill is located in a suite within a former 28,000 square-foot warehouse-office space on Osuna immediately west of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nmgastronome.com\/?p=342\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Monroe\u2019s<\/strong><\/a>. That entire space is being retrofitted into a lifestyle and restaurant development property. Already such tenants as <a href=\"http:\/\/breveabq.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Breve Coffee and Crepes<\/strong><\/a> have moved in with several other eateries slated to open their doors soon. A capacious, dog-friendly patio prefaces the south-facing entry. Step inside and the siren\u2019s call of a wood-fired grill will envelop you. The best seat in the house, in fact, just may be in front of the grill where you can watch the kitchen staff master the flames to concoct something delicious. Alternatively, you can sit in a larger dining room or relax in the upstairs lounge. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small; font-family: Verdana;\">Devon\u2019s menu is rather small, but very interesting with some offerings unique to the Duke City. Your eyes will probably gravitate to the red wattle sandwiches on the menu (more on these later). Red wattle hogs are large, red swine with a fleshy, decorative, wattle attached to each side of their necks. These hogs are raised at the Dow family ranch in Chilili and are butchered in-house at Devon\u2019s. The menu also includes some wild game entrees including albondigas with elk, venison and boar. A bevy of adult beverages is available to slake your thirst, but if you have yet to reach adultery, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rockymountainsoda.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Rocky Mountain sodas<\/strong><\/a> (brewed in small batches with love) out of Denver are a very nice option.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_45038\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-45038\" style=\"width: 720px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-45038 size-full lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 720px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 720\/358;border: 4px solid black; margin-top: 3px; margin-bottom: 3px;\" data-src=\"https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Devon04.jpg?lossy=2&strip=1&webp=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"358\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Devon04.jpg?lossy=2&strip=1&webp=1 720w, https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Devon04-300x149.jpg?lossy=2&strip=1&webp=1 300w, https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Devon04.jpg?size=128x64&lossy=2&strip=1&webp=1 128w, https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Devon04.jpg?size=384x191&lossy=2&strip=1&webp=1 384w, https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Devon04.jpg?size=512x255&lossy=2&strip=1&webp=1 512w, https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Devon04.jpg?size=640x318&lossy=2&strip=1&webp=1 640w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-45038\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Red Wattle Pork Sandwich with Porcini Fries<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small; font-family: Verdana;\">Devon&#8217;s is a rarity among restaurants throughout New Mexico in that it doesn&#8217;t offer an appetizer of chips and salsa. The closest thing to a salsa is a housemade romesco sauce our server called &#8220;Spanish ketchup.&#8221; If you&#8217;re craving a starter sans sauce, you can&#8217;t go wrong with Devon&#8217;s <em><strong>imported meats, cheeses, olives and almonds basket<\/strong><\/em> (Brie, smoked Gouda, sopressata, wine and lavender roasted olives, rosemary and sea salt roasted almonds, crostini). The almonds are of the Spanish Marcona variety, a sweeter, plumper almond than most. The olives are Italian as is the sopressata, a dry salami. Turophiles will love the textural and flavor contrasts between the smoked Gouda and Brie. This basket is a winner.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small; font-family: Verdana;\">An entree sure to comfort Duke City diners on blustery days is Devon&#8217;s <em><strong>spicy wild game gumbo<\/strong><\/em> (elk, venison, boar and red wattle with rice and beer bread) made with La Cumbre&#8217;s Noche and Bosque&#8217;s lager. For my Kim, this gumbo didn&#8217;t have enough file powder (a <span class=\"_Tgc _s8w\">seasoning made from the ground, dried leaves of the sassafras tree<\/span>), but in my estimation, the spiciness more than made up for it. This gumbo has more heat that many bowls of chile served throughout the Duke City. The elk, venison, boar and red wattle are plentiful and each has a own unique texture and flavor profile (I say this because of past experiences with wild game meats that all tasted the same).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small; font-family: Verdana;\">My Kim ordered one of the two sandwiches on the menu in which red wattle pork was the featured protein. Her <em><strong>red wattle pork sandwich and fries<\/strong><\/em> (sliced red wattle pork with grilled pineapple and caramelized onions) entree actually turned out to be two sandwiches. More specifically, two slider-sized sandwiches. Though having the circumference of a slider, each sandwich included a skyscraper tall portion of shredded pork with a generous toss of caramelized onions and grilled pineapple. Devon&#8217;s gives you three French fry options from which to choose: garlic fries, salt fries or porcini fries. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small; font-family: Verdana;\">You might not remember the full name of Devon&#8217;s Pop Smoke Wood Fired Grill, but you&#8217;ll probably find yourself popping smoke to get there. Say &#8220;hi&#8221; to Jack if you see him there. He likes it so much, he plans on moving in.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small; font-family: Verdana;\"><strong>Devon&#8217;s Pop Smoke Wood Fired Grill<\/strong><br \/>\n6001 Osuna, N.E.<br \/>\n<strong>Albuquerque, New Mexico<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>LATEST VISIT<\/strong>: 20 January 2018<br \/>\n<strong># OF VISITS<\/strong>: 1<br \/>\n<strong>RATING<\/strong>: N\/R<br \/>\n<strong>COST<\/strong>: $$<br \/>\n<strong>BEST BET<\/strong>: Red Wattle Pork Sandwich; Porcini Fries; Spicy Wild Game Gumbo; Imported Meats, Cheeses, Olives and Almonds Basket<br \/>\n<strong>RESTAURANT REVIEW #1021<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"View Menu, Reviews, Photos &amp; Information about Devon's Pop Smoke Wood Fired Grill, Northeast Heights and other Restaurants in Albuquerque\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zomato.com\/albuquerque-nm\/devon-039-s-pop-smoke-wood-fired-grill-northeast-heights\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: none; width: 200px; height: 146px; padding: 0;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zomato.com\/logo\/17864763\/biglink\" alt=\"Devon&amp;#039;s Pop Smoke Wood Fired Grill Menu, Reviews, Photos, Location and Info - Zomato\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The book of Genesis in the Old Testament explains that after the great flood, God commanded humankind to &#8220;increase in number and fill the Earth\u201d (be fruitful and multiply, if you prefer).
