Pounds (Downtown Fargo)

When high school buddies Brandon Herz and Alan Kasin started this funky college town joint, they set out to build a place that everybody loves to go. Besides being a great spot for drinking and dancing, the food at Pounds packs some serious flavor. Guy couldn’t get enough of the BBQ Porker, a loaded mac and cheese dish topped with tender, juicy pulled pork and covered with homemade barbecue sauce and jalapenos. “The pork is delicious and not dried out,” he said, “and the real kicker to the whole thing is the diced jalapenos. Little bit of the acidity, a little bit of the heat.”
