If Sweet Lucy's were located below the Mason Dixon Line I'd probably give them just four grease-stains.  But to pull off great barbecue in Philadelphia, especially such a variety of great barbecue, definitely earns them a fifth grease stain.

I had "Double the Fun" two meats, two sides, cole slaw and corn bread.  My two meats were brisket and pulled pork.  The sides - baked beans and greens.  Other meat choices - ribs, smoked turkey, smoked sausage and barbecue chicken.  All slow smoked over hickory.

Sweet Lucy's started off as a trailer.  Did such a great job that after only a year they took over a portion of a warehouse and grew into a full fledged barbecue restaurant.

Sweet Lucy?  That would be the owners' 100 pound Newfoundland.  Fortunately she stays home and customers don't have to wrestle her for their plate of ribs.
