And that drive across MO, Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio is one boring goddamn drive.

That's truth right there; I had no idea how much suck Ohio was until I drove across it. I still want to go back and party specifically in Cinci, but maybe Cleveland, too.

Back to the topic: Errobro, you like those thick rings at Jack Stack? I love onion rings, but I prefer the skinny ones. On a side note, I had a gal apply for a job at our store who listed JackStack as a previous employer so I interviewed the hell out of her about the beans. Didn't hire her though, bitch was rough.

Man... so tempted to just drive from Portland. But it's 26 hours. I'd probably die.

I've done 18 hours in one day, and that kicked my ass.

Find someone along the way who won't harvest your kidneys and relay drive it. Did Fort Lauderdale to JFK last year after my flight got canceled... 9 hours after they told us it was 100% going just delayed

Or rent an italian sportscar and race there the smokey and the bandit style.

Honestly, I was thinking that Kansas was where Kentucky was. I've been to neither of those states, despite many road trips in America. Though I typically drive from Philly to Maine or Florida. I've also gone to Toronto once.

The layout of the rest of the country, with the exception of the "big name" states, is inconsequential to me. But yeah, premium HS education at its finest.

I live in Texas so I will just drive down the street and buy better BBQ.

I hit the Lockhart, TX trio of BBQ joints about a year ago and it was some of the best brisket and sausage I've ever had.

That is a really tasty road trip. Group of friends have discussed doing a bros road trip hitting BBQ and whiskey places across the south. I really want to try some KC BBQ but don't have a reason to go there otherwise.

At least you didn't show a picture of the Salt Lick. I love Texas BBQ but I think that place is overrated.

Salt Lick is complete trash. The only good thing about the Salt Lick is it is BYOB. Bring a cooler on a nice day and just get drunk while you wait for a table. Not hard for BBQ to taste amazing when you are smashed.

If I were in Texas, I'd go out of my way to go to Franklin's BBQ in Austin.

I still owe you dinner /shakes fist

If we do Nov 10th, ask your uncle if he'll be working on that Sunday and maybe we can harass him for you!



I did love going to Wyandot BBQ as a kid and ordering a bunch of BBQ sandwiches to go. (hahahaha just looked at their site!Home Page)

Was thinking about Jack Stack favorites this morning: mushrooms, onion rings, crown prime rib

I want all of that now. NOW.

Indianapolis to St. Louis is one of the worst fucking drives ever. I'd take Kansas over that shit every time.

Also Carolina BBQ supremacy.
