welp, this was 1st stop.
they had some music going. sounded like bob seger.
thats a big cooker.
thats a pile of turkey legs.
me: oh dear, i think i need another one.
dear: fine. its the last one. two is your limit mister.
so we ate at 5 places. ribs and butt sandwich here.
ok. well, this was the worst butt i have ever had. it tasted like they boiled it then ran it threw a salamander and put some diluted sauce on it. two bites each from me and my wife and then we threw it out.
the ribs we tried from 5 different places. my wife wanted to see how my ribs were compared to everyone elses. places gave you 3 or 4 bones for one serving costing $9 - $10.
oh my god. these ones were the worse. one bite and in the trash. really bad. out of the 5 places 2 of them didn't pull the membrane off the back. everyone had the ribs already cooked and grilling them and slopping the sauce on. some sauces were better than others. all in all a real disappointment. i realized that my ribs were way better than anything i ate at this rib fest and the one in stockton. now i know that these ppl were making alot of ribs. come on ppl. take some pride and make them taste good. how could you possible serve a product so damn icky. on the way back the the car my wife squeeze my hand and gave me a kiss. she said my ribs were way better than anything she tasted. and, she said that i could get myself some new weber fish spatula i've been wanting.
side note. took us 2 hours to get there. on the way the the rib fest traffic was backed up the other way. so when we left we were going back over tahoe and back down to 50. well, everyone else had the same idea. 6 hour drive home. guess whos idea it was to go that way.
not mine. so when we got back to town my wife took me for steak and lobster for her goof. it was the best part of the day. ribeye, maine lobster and 2 milks at rudy's. perfect day w/ the wife.
