Oh hey! Happy Sunday. I’m just cooking up a storm over here in preparation for all the recipes I’ll share with you in the week ahead. But since I’m in need of a bit of a break I thought it’d be a nice time to sit down and blog away.
So yesterday! I was in the mood for a low-key evening last night after Thursday and Friday, so a casual barbeque dinner sounded just fab to me. Especially since I’m on a quest as of late to get into good BBQ. Louisa’s boyfriend Grant’s friend Josh (got that?) has said great things about Urban Barbeque and so that’s just where we went.
I really loved the atmosphere. It’s very friendly, no-frills, order off a chalk board at the counter – which for BBQ, is probably a good sign! I was especially excited to see keg rootbeer. How fun is that?
I had a pulled pork platter for dinner – pulled pork and homemade cornbread with a side of mac and cheese.
And a taste of all the sauces.
The highlight of the meal was most definitely the cornbread – still warm from the oven! It was soft and crumbly with real kernels of corn baked right in. Love that. The rest was also quite delish, although I don’t think it tops Black Hog from the other week. Hard to beat!
And there we have Saturday’s supper. You may notice a real lack of vegetables but I promise I’m going to make it up to you in a big way, for tomorrow is the start of my blogging for the Salad as a Meal cook-book challenge! I’ll see you then my friends. I’m off to dinner with my lovely friend Cody tonight. He’s in town from Cleveland for the weekend and I just can’t wait to see him! Enjoy the rest of this sunshiny weekend

Mmmm I love bbq. The mac n cheese looks INCREDIBLE! And cornbread is always awesome. Glad you had such a nice night. And I am totally looking forward to your salad as a meal posts! I’m getting the cookbook to just review and I can’t wait
Barbeque sounds great! That looks really good—I’m a sucker for a good mac and cheese

How could you Beth!!!! You went to a BBQ joint without me?? And for the record Old Dominions root beer is da bomb, I have it on tap at my bar
And your best friend Grant was there too! MAN did you miss out

that bbq pork looks delicious! I haven’t had it in ages, definitely should make some!
Cornbread is seriously one of my favorite foods. LOVE!
Loooove BBQ. Have you been to Old Glory in Georgetown? That’s my standby.
No, never! Good to know – I will be sure to check it out sometime on my BBQ quest

cornbread is definitely one of the best foods ever. hands down.
there’s a similar place that we went to in FL, but they had an awesome salad bar so i just got that since it was cheap. the place there is called sonny’s bbq pit! my family LVOED the pulled pork and chicken sammies because they could pick and choose their own sauces, too!
xo.
I really miss good southern barbeque. I need to try to make it at home since I wont be finding it anywhere near here.
