We enjoyed some amazing BBQ at new restaurant in #PortHuron: Fuel Woodfire Grill. Everything comes with jalapeno mac and cheese and jalapeno cornbread. Baby back ribs, pulled chicken, brisket combo plate did NOT last long! 📷: @jheckaman. #Mittentrip #mittenlove #DiscoverTheBlue @discoverthebluewaterarea
