Yes there is a new BBQ Joint and it is mine, Big Bill of Big Bill's Q. I am located in La Ribera de belen, Heredia, on the same road as the Marriot, about a mile west of the Marriot and 100 meters east of the cemetary. It is primarily takeout with a couple of tables to dine in. I am open Thursday - Sunday, 12noon to 9:30pm, but hope to open 7 days soon. I have studied championship competition level Q for over 40 years and offer the finest Q in CR. I brought a 27' long, high convection rig down from Memphis and offer slow smoked, then glazed and carmelized ribs, 20 hour hand rubbed pulled pork, chicken and brisket. The brisket recipe is an improved version of the infamous competitor, John Willingham, who won 150 major US BBQ competitions with it, including Memphis in May, The Kansas City Royale, and many others. When available, I also offer chorizo from puriscal and specials. There is no substitute for my level of Q in Costa Rica. I have studied the art of mixing woods, using exotic rubs, marinades, injections, glazes and sauces (made fresh daily and really good) and use a combo of rubbing and glazing that form a unique meld when carmelized. I also take great pride in my side dishes and took them to the same level as the meat. I have the sweetest corn on the cob anywhere, incredible baked beans made with a special molasses and spices and bacon among others. Be warned, when you try my Q you will become an addict. You may wish to phone ahead.....8955-1053. If you are coming to the airport on the autopista, take the last exit before the airport exit (Belen). Big Bill
