PREVIEW
The two guys who own and do all the cooking for Hurricane BBQ started their venture in 1999 as an adjunct to the kitchen at the Rivershack in Old Jefferson. That evolved into a catering operation focusing on barbecue, one with enough skill that it won a major contest against serious competition at Hogs For The Cause this year. When Hi-Ho--a short-lived import from Hammond whose barbecue was nothing of the kind-- closed its miserable Airline Highway restaurant in early 2012, Hurricane BBQ moved in. Almost immediately I began getting consistent reports (including one from my wife, a barbecue fanatic) that the 'cue here was first-rate.
DINING ROOM
A small, spartan space is all you need for on-site eating, and that's what they have, in a new building erected by Hi-Ho but not much worn out by its customers. There's also a drive-through. The site is across the highway from Sam's Club--an excellent landmark.
