Stop #1

Stop #1 - Arthur Bryant's

One word - YUMMY
One Pound plate of ribs and what they call burnt ends. One order of fries (too big for anyone to finish) and a Diet Coke. $17.97 worth of deliciousness. The original sauce is vinegar based and has a bit of a bite to it. The sweet sauce still has the taste of the original, but tempered some for the less than brave BBQ'er. It's a little hole-in-the-wall place off the beaten path. It was recommended by both citysearch.com and the hotel concierge. I waited in line 30 minutes before getting to counter to place my order. It was worth every minute in line looking at the wall of famous celebrities who had graced the establishment. There was even three photos of McCain and Palin eating there together (but I won't hold that against the place). When I left the line was out the door and started to bend around the corner. I'd guess probably an hour wait for the people at the end.

Typical man. Doesn't even suggest bringing us back some leftovers.

Oh, and you don't mind if we borrow your socks while you're gone, do you?

Suzanne's been putting a hurting on my nose with all those beans. ;-)

Where do you keep the beer?

Blottie... It's not you vs. Karen dear, we're all in this together. That just means there's more BBQ for us.

Attila... The beer is in the bottom left hand corner of the fridge. Empties go in the recycle bin downstairs.

Sounds incredible! I adore good bbq. One of my favorite things about visiting Texas every year...we eat at this crazy barn-like place with trestle tables where they serve your meat on wax paper and hand you an entire loaf of cheap white bread in its package. If that's not decadence, I don't know what is...

Leah... they served my meat on wax paper too and the sandwich which I saw being served were all on plain white bread. Sometimes simple can be spectacular.

Bob, keep following in the footsteps of our ancestors, my dear man. You know man has hunted and eaten meat since the beginning of time. If our ancestors only had BBQ sauce, they would have been in heaven on earth. Yum, you made me hungry, I think I'll have to go down the street now and get me something from The Mean .

That last line should have read Mean Pig. I was so concerned about getting the html code right, I forgot to finish the sentence.
