The joint is smokin'

Barbecue and blues. What’s not to love? An Ocean Springs, Miss., stalwart dubbed The Shed, home of Oh Baby, Baby Backs, Serious Sausage, Pulled Pork and Walter “Wolfman” Washington (playing on Sept. 19), is coming to Scott. WLOX TV-13 in Biloxi reports that The Shed co-owners Brooke Lewis and Brad Orrison have inked a deal with Lafayette attorney Kaliste Saloom III and Frank Sonnier to open a Shed franchise in an 8,000 square foot building north of I-10 in Scott. I’d wager a brewski that’s in the old Ironhorse Saloon building, just past The Best Stop on La. 93 north.

Lafayette could sure use a honky-tonk smokin’ joint, and from what I can gather from The Shed’s Web site, this looks like the real deal — hardwood smoke, dry rub ribs, and a jelly jar full of honors from the Oxford, Miss. BBQ Throwdown. The Shed in Scott should be up and smokin’ by November, Orrison told WLOX. “The only thing we have to do is put in a smoker, junk it up Shed style, and we’re rolling.”

I'm a Lafayette native who now lives just 15 minutes away from the original Shed, and I promise you, it's *good*

If Lafayette is missing any kind of food, it's good BBQ, and, if the recipes stay the same, this will be just what BBQ fans need.

If I know Frank Sonnier, this place is going to be wall to wall good eating. Good luck! I'll definitely be stopping there when I'm in town.

Onion? Could be. Still looks like a hotel size bar of soap. I like BBQ, so I will try it anyway.

I think that's an onion Miss Sunshine.

Sounds good but why is there a bar of soap(photo)on top of the meat?

I thought the name sounded familiar, and it is -- Dan and I ate there the last time we drove from North Carolina to New Iberia. It was delicious (and this is coming from the palate of a BBQ eater in NC), and it's exactly what's missing in Lafayette!

Someone needs to buy me a beer. The Shed will be located in the old Ironhorse building.
