    Default Barbecue

    There is a little nondescript building near where I spent my young years. It is a barbecue place. Real barbecue, not the stuff they call barbecue here in Lexington. It is called Starnes Barbecue and they have possibly the best barbecue in the world. Locals swear by it.

    Anyway, my daughter and her BFF went to western Kentucky this weekend. While there, she picked up several pounds of pork barbecue and barbecued ham.

    I love barbecue. Real barbecue that is. Northerners don't know what they are missing. Sorry, @Noir. Sorry, @Drummond.

    The only place to get actual REAL BBQ is in Texas. I have found this out by eating barbeque in different locations.
    If you go to Austin, you have to check out the original Green Mesquite location downtown. Rustic wood tables, an outdoor stage with live bands and dancing and some of the greatest food you will have eat. The sausage is to die for.

    That sounds good!

    Quit teasing us!
    I have lost my mind. If found, please give it a snack and return it?

    The best barbecue places I ever ate at were the dingiest looking small buildings on back roads in the deep south...hmmm, hmmm, good!

    Little Creek Barbecue is my go to place a mile from my house in Penna.

    Wouldn't you want to boycott it, on the grounds that it's a Capitalistic establishment .. ? And what if they're not as 'green' as the name suggests .. ?

    No matter - hope you enjoy their food, whenever you're there. I'm sure Noir will approve ..

    Pick some up, then drive north and west for a bit. I'll split the bill with ya. (I'm generous that way!)

    Not THAT border. I live NE of you. I was talking about the WEST Texas border. I haven't completely abandoned this country yet.

    I DO find it funny though that this is the second time we've lived within 200 miles of each other and never met. Weird.
