Smokin’ Bear BBQ (Dorchester, NH)
A week after our trip that had us visiting Franklin, NH, we again found ourselves traveling through central NH, and this time decided to check out a barbecue place. Did you read that right? Yes. As my regular readers know, fewer things invoke more more of my skepticism than the use of “New England” and “barbecue” in the same sentence. For every good place I’ve found, there are at least two places that reward my seeking them out with leathery disappointment. But several people, most of whom I actually trust to not steer me wrong had mentioned that there was a promising barbecue spot in Dorchester, NH, and while I was out of the country in July, Carol scoped it out, and enjoyed her meal. So we decided it was worth the diversion to the quiet town of Dorchester to find Smokin’ Bear BBQ.
