I received this e-mail from a reader who visited P’cheen Monday for the weekly “Mike’s Bonelick Barbecue Night,” which I recently recommended:

You weren’t kidding about P’Cheen. We had pulled pork sliders and chicken straight from the smoker. It was wonderful! I would like to let you know that the prices of the drinks were outrageous. I happen to work in a pub. One beer that we serve for $6.50 (for the same oz.) was $10. I understand that different places have different prices, but for a two-mile trek down Dekalb I can save $3.50 a beer. Is their food worth it? Undecided.

Actually, I do recall Wayne being startled by the cost of his own drink during our first visit. Y’all should drink water and stop complaining. Just kidding! Sort of. …

I made it to “Mike’s Bone Lick BBQ” night at P’cheen Monday and I suggest you do the same next week. Sous chef Mike Lasage is dry- rubbing various meats with herbs and smoking them until tender. This is the three-meat combo with chipotle chicken, baby back ribs and pulled pork. Collards and mac-n-cheese are on the side.

The meats are nearly perfect just as they are when they come out of the smoker, but you get your choice of Mike’s Carolina-style mustard- or vinegar-based barbecue sauces. There’s also a ketchupy, sweet Kansas City one.

Look for more about P’cheen later this week in my Grazing column.
