Josh&#8217;s Barbecue wasn&#8217;t even open yet when the May, 2007 edition of <em>Santa Fean<\/em> magazine went to press with its &#8220;Chef&#8217;s Picks&#8221; issue in which the city&#8217;s chefs were surveyed about their favorite dining venues.\u00a0 Although the public had yet to savor Josh&#8217;s handiwork, his restaurant garnered a &#8220;best new restaurant&#8221; vote with one chef confiding &#8220;I&#8217;ve tasted Josh&#8217;s recipes and his is the best barbecue around.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 454px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 454px;

font-family: Verdana;\">As the unnamed chef confided, Josh&#8217;s barbecue may indeed be the best barbecue around.\u00a0 His restaurant had been open for just under a month when we first visited.\u00a0 I wondered if the lengthy queue of diners waiting to place their orders\u00a0 would be there months later or if the long line was characteristic of the &#8220;new restaurant syndrome.&#8221; Studying the mesmerized faces of diners besotted by the aroma of smoked meats, I surmised that these diners would probably be back.\u00a0 After our meal, I became certain Josh&#8217;s would become their favorite barbecue restaurant in Santa Fe, perhaps New Mexico.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;\">The menu includes several barbecue favorites as well as some interesting localized twists to favorites such as a green chile coleslaw, green chile flecked cornbread, chile con queso with smoked carne adovada and smoked carne adovada.\u00a0 The best deal is a two- or three-meat plate with two sides, especially if a dining companion orders different meats than you do.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 455px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 455px;

sauce.\u00a0 Purists will argue that well-smoked meats need no ameliorants and that sauces mask inferior barbecue. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;\">Josh&#8217;s smoked meats need absolutely no sauce, but if you&#8217;re so inclined, these sauces might just blow you away, especially if you don&#8217;t waste your time trying to discern the genesis of their unique flavors.\u00a0 The sensational seasonal sauce, made with blackberries, honey and bourbon is reflective of Josh&#8217;s inventiveness.\u00a0 The traditional hot sauce creates a nice warming sensation at the back of your throat. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;\">One appetizer sure to become a local favorite is the chile con queso with carne adovada.\u00a0 We&#8217;re not talking smallish shards of carne here.\u00a0 Covered in a creamy cheese concoction are large chunks of smoked porcine perfection.\u00a0 The thin tortilla chips were in trouble when they had to bear the weight of the carne adovada so you might want to dispense with them and use a fork.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6971\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6971\" style=\"width: 444px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6971 lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 444px;

font-size: 10pt;\">The meats are all delicious: fall-off-the-bone ribs; tender, smoky pulled pork; incendiary hot links; juicy and tender brisket; spicy Polish sausage and a uniquely wonderful smoked carne adovada (which would have been made even better with a flour tortilla).\u00a0 This is barbecue at its finest, a step up from what might be considered &#8220;peasant food&#8221; but still a progeny of the best in down-home cooking traditions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt;\">Meats are available by the half pound, on plates, as family meals and as sandwiches. \u00a0Your best sandwich bet just might be &#8220;<em>The Slammer<\/em>&#8221; because you get to choose one meat and one sausage, both of which are engorged between sesame seed burger buns barely able to contain all the meat piled on them. \u00a0Polish sausage and pulled pork make a surprisingly good combination with the spicy, smoky sausage serving as an interesting foil for the delicate pulled pork. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;\">One of the most delicious qualities of Josh&#8217;s smoked meats is that they&#8217;re not heavily saturated with smoke.\u00a0 There&#8217;s just enough smoke to let you know it&#8217;s there, just enough to imbue it with the unmistakable bouquet of wood fragrance.\u00a0 That&#8217;s all Josh&#8217;s <em>turkey club<\/em> needs to set it apart from the boring day after Thanksgiving leftover turkey sandwich.\u00a0 Well, that and crisp bacon, avocado, mayo, tomato and lettuce.\u00a0\u00a0 This is simply one of the very best turkey club sandwiches I&#8217;ve ever had.\u00a0 It&#8217;s not a multi-layer skyscraper of a sandwich as some club sandwiches tend to be.\u00a0 The turkey is sliced into generous quarter-inch thickness and it&#8217;s the star of a sandwich imbued with all-star accompaniment.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 444px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 444px;

Most tacquitos, it seems, are cigar-shaped and tightly wrapped corn tortillas with a dryish chicken and bean amalgam. At Josh&#8217;s, the tacquitos are thick and moist, packed with delicious smoked chicken almost juicy enough to have come from a chicken stew.
