BBQ Heaven

Just left Snow’s and 2nd Breakfast.  

Greg called it a religious experience.  When Kirt bit in to his rib, he said, “Oh my God!  That’s good!”  He then shuddered and Tim asked him he if just had an “organism”.  Kirt just kind of got this smile on his face and sure looked to me like he was enjoying an afterglow.

It was decided that this would absolutely be worth the drive from Dallas one Sat morning.  In fact, Kirt stated that if any of us called him on Fri morning and said “Saturday morning, your driveway, 5:30a, Snow’s”, he would be ready to go.

Tim is of the opinion that there is no reason to go any further.  In fact, I think he tried to see if he could get a job tending the pits just so he could sample the meat coming off.

Here is our rating:

General Comments:

Brian – Buzzies rub would have made this BBQ nirvana.
Tim – This is as close to BBQ heaven as you can get. 
Greg – If they had a Beer Garden, I would never leave.

We got a chance to talk with Tootsie and Cotton for a bit and they were as nice as you could ever expect.  In fact, Tootsie signed sauce bottles for us all and gave us a ½ chicken because that was the only thing we hadn’t tried.

That level of service and being treated like just another member of their family is something you just can’t find anywhere else.

Once we told them what we were up to, they told us to that we needed to get over to the City Market in Giddings.  The sausage they cooked was made there and Tootsie said the City Market’s pork shoulder was great.  So, it’s off to the City Market for our mid morning snack.
