We've got 'em all across Texas, too. Pretty good.

Pulled pork is just steamed, right? You could get the same results from a pressure cooker.

hardly. it's slow cooked and constantly basted with a vinegar base sauce for 12 hours or more. It's done in a pig cooker. Wood fired is best, but some now use gas and it still does okay.

Next question; why didn't we do that last time?

Actually Roger that's a very good question. When we have guests we never reall As an example there is a mexican resturant herey know what they might enjoy and always try to pick someplace fairly neutral. When Ul and Rainer where here from Vienna, we took them to Rudy's and they loved it. But, you just never know. As an example there is a mexican resturant here that "everyone" goes to when entertaining out of town guests. I would rate it as 1 1/2 on a scale of 10. But everyone seems to love the decor while I prefer the food at some not as fancy places.

I always like taking northerners out for some real Mexican food. But then I can be a bit of a prick.

I'll never forget that trip to Raleigh. We tried for Mexican food.

"Can I have some queso?"

"...What?"

"Chile con queso."

"Oh! Cheese deep!"

This guy is hispanic?!?!?

Whoa, whoa, wait a minute! I really liked the place we went! So did my son and hubby. The food was great and the company was even better. It was a wonderful choice!

I meant NEXT time. We like to try different places, and Rudy's sounds like an authentic hole-in-the-wall BBQ joint...the best kind if you want real barbecue.

Where's the nearest Rudy's by here DrewDad?

I'm getting hungry just thinking about it.

Oh, out by llano there's a good place, butcher paper, goat, meat, I enjoyed it.

Have you ever gone to Artz Ribz? That about 4 blocks from my house.

WAY too greasy, gave us both belly aches.

My experience in this area is limited to two weeks spent with friends in Burlington, NC, but I do recall having some good barbecue at Hursey's. There were signed photos of such luminaries as Jesse Helms on the wall, but that didn't put me off my feed for long.

Vinegar!! VINEGAR! Vinegar goes on those lettuce leaves and tomatos in the salad bowl. You know the one. It sits there next to the real dinner of pinkish slices of brisket, about a pound, that are still steaming smoke from the cooker. What the hell you need a knife for? Ain't you got the edge of your fork?

brisket is a finger food in my house. I do, however, use a plate.

I know when I've been insulted. I'm sending Earnest T Bass to your home with a sack full of rocks.

I just had Carolina barbecue for the first time last summer. A friend who used to live there went back for a business trip and brought several pounds home to freeze... I got some the next day, warmed up with a loaf of good bread and some fresh shrimp salad...

The sticky red sauce cr** is now off my menu fo-evah!

But dry smoked (if well seasoned and tender) is quite good too, just a different meal.
