Formerly a popup inside Chickie Wah Wah, Blue Oak now has its own digs on Carrollton, which is good news for fans of low and slow cooked smoked meat. Besides some stupendous brisket and pulled pork, check out the most excellent smoked wings and spicy green onion sausage. Portions are copious, so plan to share apps like the barbecue nachos and Dagwood-sized sandwiches including a personal fave, the pit viper (jerk pulled pork with slaw and jalapenos). This irresistible eatery is from New Orleans' natives Ronnie Evans and Philip Moseley, has a full bar and is open nightly for dinner.
Better yet, eating a spicy fried chicken sandwich on Tuesdays at Blue Oak supports Hogs for the Cause, the March 23/24 fundraiser to fund pediatric brain cancer outreach services with local partners including Children's Hospital of New Orleans and Ochsner Hospital for Children. The restaurant is donating all of the proceeds from its Tuesday chicken sandwich and ever-changing daiquiri menu through the annual Hogs for the Cause barbecue competition.
