The BBQ at Blue Door Smokehouse is 🔥
When my wife Marcela, my bud John and I walked into Blue Door Smokehouse, we had no idea awaited us.
I’m a bit ferklempt right now.
Blue Door is a central Texas chop-house/chop-shop style BBQ joint that serves everything on trays with butcher paper.
They’ve got a good 5 or 6 homemade sides, but you won’t find cheese fries or anything like that here.
Here’s what I remember:
- I was about to try the sauces, but the food arrived.
- Holy shit, is that brisket great.
- I don’t remember breathing while eating it.
- We moved onto the smoked sausage, which I enjoyed but not as much as the brisket.
- I was too stuffed to eat any sides.
- Marcela and John loved everything, including the sides.
- I don’t remember walking out of Blue Door Smokehouse, but that’s because I think I floated.
- John and I hit them up at 11 AM two days later while Marcela slept.
- Holy shit, is that brisket great.
- I moved onto the pulled pork sandwich, which I enjoyed but not as much as the brisket.
- I was too stuffed to eat any sides.
- We brought some brisket back to Marcela so she wouldn’t kill us.
Calling it a “most excellent” experience a la Bill & Ted is probably the understatement of the year.
Oh yeah, and holy shit is that brisket great.
P.S. This has to be the best bbq in Lexington, Kentucky.

I think you mean verklempt.
Nope, I’m using the urban dictionary version. Click on the word in the story and you’ll see what I mean.
Having lived most of my life in Lexington before moving to Miami in January, my last meal at Blue Door were never-seen-before “burnt ends” of brisket. Sublime…
We absolutely loved Lexington.
