HowChow has good news, bad news.
The good news is that Laura Vozzella posted a reader's compliment about Kloby's Smokehouse on Johns Hopkins Road. The bad news is that she thinks it is bad news that the tasty barbeque is in Howard County.
Laura, Laura, Laura. . . The Dining at Large blog used to be a friend of the suburbs! All your readers are welcome on Rte 29! Come for the BBQ; stay for a giant yard, public schools, and parking lot cafes.
(Thanks to Brandon for the tip. Notice in the post that the Laurel post office address does confuse the out-of-towners. More proof that isn't Laurel. Two words: Fulton annexation.)

I'd put our parking lot cafes up against any other. HoCo has the world's best "dining by the asphalt" experience.
If this keeps up I'm *never* going to be able to get a table at Kloby's again! :-D
Poor Laurel, who thought it would be a good idea to pull it apart like a BBQ pork shoulder and toss the pieces into four different counties?
Darn it, I am really, really craving pulled pork right now.
What's so bad about mentioning a good restaurant in Laurel? It's halfway between DC and Baltimore; a good stopping or meeting place when traveling between the two Metros. It's also home to Pasta Plus; better than *any* Italian restaurant in Baltimore's Little Italy.
I tried the beef ribs at Kloby's last weekend and they were really good, as were the fries. My daughter really enjoyed the tri-tip as well which had good flavor without overdosing on smoke.
The only downside was our waiter was really spacey.
It'd been a while since I was there, but I'll definitely be back soon.
Perhaps I should try Red Hot & Blue to see how it compares.
Change it from Laurel to Fulton? Never. Kloby's is in Upper Scaggsville.
I was always told that the area by APL is really scaggsville, but JHU did some lobbying to gerrymander that area into Laurel, because they didn't want a Scaggsville address because they didn't like the way it sounded.
I have to wonder how the Scaggs family feels about all this.
