Wright’s Barbecue: The Rocket Man

Review - Wright’s Barbecue: The Rocket Man

With two locations, Wright’s Barbecue can be found in Johnson and Bentonville, AR. While on the search for a good pork belly burnt end recipe I stumbled onto The Rocket Man. I followed their burnt ends recipe and decided to go the extra step by simply adding chopped brisket over a base of mashed potatoes. What’s great is that you could really order some or possibly all of these items from your favorite local BBQ joint and assemble it at home for the family. If you need to serve up a specialty dish at a competition or want to do something unique at your next backyard event I recommend creating a mashed potato bar with instructions on building a Rocket Man.
