Sometimes You Just Need BBQ and Coffee

Pulled Pork + Coffee = Such a Perfect Day
(Well taken separately...not together)

Ironwood BBQ opened recently in downtown Berk, which is btw turning into quite a foodie heaven and haven. Recently, the Oxford/Center locale has seen a lot of action as Saturn Cafe, Ippuku, Cinnaholic, and of course Ironwood have popped up on the scene. But, it's about time there's a BBQ closer to campus. This place definitely satisfies my pulled pork cravings. Get the sandwich "Memphis Style" because it tastes oh-so-good with the coleslaw. Don't eat meat? Don't fret friend! There's also a veggie option with hickory smoked tofu!

So after a K-friend and I gobbled down these sandwiches, we headed to Philz for "dessert," i.e. coffee, cupcakes, and donuts. We be healthy. But to be fair, we did take a long walk/skate around Berk beforehand. Pictured is the lovely mug that I keep at Philz. If you see anyone else drinking out of it, please do inform them of their wrongdoing. I nearly cried the other day when I thought it was missing...but no worries, all is good and settled now!
