That's right, the last lunch before I go to Texas we get BBQ. Larry J's BBQ Cafe to be specific. We ordered a lot of food and we got a mix of things and sauces so I think we got a pretty good feel for the place. First thing to note, if you have a big order - order early. I mean before they officially open. We had six people ordering food and poor Babbit got manhandled (I know, I know. He usually likes that) and yelled at when he got there. Apparently if you have a lot of food you should call in at eight in the morning even though the place doesn't open until 11:30. How we were supposed to know this, I don't know. Also, if you are the one causing the long line you will be pointed out to everyone waiting in line behind you as the culprit.
As for the food...eh. People liked the brisket and the burnt ends. Alan liked his pulled pork sandwich. (But remember this is Alan we are talking about.) The chicken and the ribs were just okay. The sausage was good and very spicy. The fries were a hit too. The cole slaw was good as well. It is more vinegar than mayo so tangy instead of creamy. The baked beans were well received. The cowboy beans (which did not have ground beef in them no matter what the internet says) and the collard greens I would say are not worth getting again. And the mac and cheese was inedible according to Danny...Boy. All of the sauces were liked by those who tried them.
Overall I would say that we were not impressed with this place. I don't see us going back. But then Bee Hee is the one who suggested it and he had been there before and liked it enough to go back. I'm not sure what it was that he was so happy about since even he said the ribs were just okay. And if a BBQ place can't do awesome ribs then what is the point.
Personally I did not think it was worth the calories that I ate or the price that I paid. Especially if Babbit is going to be in physical danger.

Elephun Wednesday
You would think that hopscotch would not be this guy's game. But he seems to be doing okay. Either that or this is just some drunk elephant who happened to stumble onto a hopscotch game. (What do you call it? A court? That can't be right. A field, maybe. I don't know.) From this picture both seem equally as likely.
This one is in honor of my upcoming trip to Texas. I don't think I'll be seeing any elephants down there but this isn't called Horse Wednesdays so...
Ride 'em cowboy!

Rondo's is Always the Answer
So to celebrate Henry's birthday we went to Rondo's. And as always it was awesome. So awesome all our hearts were asking for mercy. No quarter was given. We all ate every last bit. Even Henry. Who, the Shipping Monkeys have agreed, we are slowly killing with our group lunches. He used to eat fish and vegetables. We have put a stop to that. You're welcome, Henry. You might not live to see another birthday but it will be a tasty trip while it lasts.

Arrr! It's the pachyderm of the high seas here to plunder your booty. (Don't get too excited, Babbit. It's not what you're thinking.)

Elephun Wednesday
This elephant was in honor of my jury duty. My judge was nicer than this one. And I never saw him use his gavel. I was very disappointed.
I have no words.
