Haley's Pick 🍽️

You probably know her as @milehighandhungry. Each week, Haley shares the one place she’s obsessed with right now. From hidden gems to hot new openings, if she picks it, it’s worth the hype.

Haley's Review of Riot BBQ
Riot BBQ on South Delaware feels like a backyard cookout run by a Top Chef, because it is. Chef Manny Barella and pitmaster Patrick Klaiber have teamed up to blend Monterrey flavors with Texas-style smoke, and the results are seriously craveable.

The brisket steals the show: tender, deeply smoky, and finished with Barella’s bold spice rub. Get it solo or wrapped in buttery Raquelita tortillas. The pulled pork brings heat with ancho, guajillo, and morita chiles, and the al pastor ribs are sticky, sweet, and slightly charred in all the right ways.

Even the sides are insanely good! Think crunchy pepita-macha slaw and banana pudding served in a jar that tastes just like childhood (but better). Every bite feels intentional.

It’s barbecue with heart, history, and just the right amount of heat. Riot BBQ isn’t just a meal, it’s a moment worth lining up for.

Local Insights

🌅 Best sunrise: Climb the small hill behind the property early—dawn lights the valleys up quick, even on misty mornings.

🥾 Short hike: Walk to Haines Falls and the north edge of North-South Lake for quiet picnic spots and mountain views.

🍵 Outside snacks: Bring your own tea and small snacks if you're particular, since meals are set and there’s no store nearby.

🪶 Silent hours: Scheduled silent times mean evenings stretch out quiet—keep a notepad to write or sketch if you like nighttime wandering.
