So I was thinking this morning about the non-bbq place we got food from last night. You know when you go to a restaurant and have food that is incredibly mediocre and you think hey, I could open up a place next door and sell GOOD food.

This place was busy busy, well at least 3/4 full and I can't understand why.

can I get a cup of tea? I don't do coffee...... blech... :P

trailmix, I've always wondered about the same thing. I have pondered this, and the only explanation I can come up with is that a) it's a regional thing...what some people call BBQ, and their specific taste, is unique to that area, hence, if you're not from that area, you can't really appreciate it. or B) one person goes to the restaurant, someone sees that it's open, and goes as well...subequently as others drive by, they go in as well. No one knows how crappy it really is! Now, as time goes by...people go by, see all the cars and think...hmmm, look at all the cars! That must be a good place to eat! And....so....on.... :lol:

aww thanks for the tea...

maybe you just ordered the wrong thing, trailmix...

I agree Carla, it probably is that, wow it's busy, must be a good thing!

Well I would think so too Marilyn, except it was just a bbq pork bun - the menu said 'our speciality' - :lol: Then again you may be right, this particular thing may be for the non-bbq purist, they did have another pork sandwich 'smothered in bbq sauce'. To my thinking smoked/bbq meat should be good alone, the bbq sauce is just icing on the cake.

Here is another thing - so I order the bbq pork bun and fries, Husband orders the bbq beef dinner platter.

My dinner was $ 3.99 for the sandwich and 99 cents for fries. Husband's dinner platter was $ 11.99. All he got that I didn't get was a little more meat and 2 pieces of inedible garlic bread (no bun). Oh and one of those little plastic things of beans and coleslaw.

What we didn't realize until we were sitting there waiting is that the 'dinner platter' is really an 'eat in' thing as it is all you can eat .

I've noticed that, too. We've eaten at places that are ####### and they are always packed. My husband says it's partly to do with the poor unsuspecting tourists keeping their businesses going, and partly to do with the fact that all the seniors eat out and can't tell the difference between good food and #######. :whistle:

I absolutely agree with you, Carla. :thumbs:

Just read about Trailmix' BBQ experiences yesterday - one thing I have definitely found here in the South is that BBQ means something totally different than it does back home. I think it could indeed be part of the regional differences that you experienced - here the sauce is everything; the meat seems to be secondary.

“...Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?”

Joel says the same thing...to him, grilling out is the same as BBQ-ing. Here in the South, BBQ is as regional as the area that it's prepared in. BBQ is so different...county by county. Yeah, the sauce IS the main thing...the meat is definately secondary. Everyone has their own opinion (and quite often are very vocal about it :) ) about what BBQ is best.

Here is a link to some BBQ places here in Georgia, some of which have been around for quite a while. http://www.georgia.org/Travel/BBQ.htm

Zeb Deans BBQ is what I grew up on...and I've had lots of different kinds from all over Georgia. IMHO this is the best :D Zeb Dean started his place probably 50 years ago...still going strong...and the recipe for his BBQ sauce is a secret: only family and trusted workers know it.

Zeb's Place

5742 Hwy 29

Danielsville, GA

Zeb's Place neat Danielsville lays claim to some of the best Brunswick Stew in the state. The staff is is always ready to serve you with a side of southern hospitality, and the restaurant's founder, Zeb Dean, is thought of by many as North Georgia's barbeque guru.
