BBQ RULES We are about to enter the BBQ season. Therefore it is important to refresh your memory on the etiquette of this sublime outdoor cooking activity . When a man volunteers to do the BBQ the following chain of events are put into motion:
Routine...
(1) The woman buys the food.
(2) The woman makes the salad, prepares the vegetables and makes desert.
(3) The woman prepares the meat for cooking, places it on a tray along with the necessary cooking utensils and sauces, and takes it to the man who is lounging beside the grill - beer in hand.
(4) The woman remains outside the compulsory three foot exclusion zone where the exuberance of testosterone and other manly bonding activities can take place without the interference of the woman.
Here comes the important part:
(5) THE MAN PLACES THE MEAT ON THE GRILL.
More routine...
(6) The woman goes inside to organize the plates and cutlery.
(7) The woman comes out to tell the man that the meat is looking great. he thanks her and asks if she will bring another beer while he flips the meat.
Important again:
(8) THE MAN TAKES THE MEAT OFF THE GRILL AND HANDS IT TO THE WOMAN.
More routine...
(9) The woman prepares the plates, salad, bread, utensils, napkins, sauces, and brings them to the table.
(10) After eating, the woman clears the table and does the dishes.
And most important of all:
(11) Everyone PRAISES the MAN and THANKS HIM for his cooking efforts.
(12) The man asks the woman how she enjoyed 'her night off', and, upon seeing her annoyed reaction, concludes that there's just no pleasing some women.

Number one rule of BBQ: There is no decent BBQ north of the Mason/Dixon. smiley_horserider Getting out of Dodge.

Texas Ranger,

I tend to agree but this place is pretty dang good!

Moonlight Barbecue in Owensboro Ky aint bad. I grill year round and if I let the wife prepare anything it will all be screwed up so no wifey during any time during prep or cooking.

Have any of you guys tried this place in Chicago, Carson's http://www.ribs.com/ . I was there 2 weeks ago and loved them. Also the au gratin potatoes were out of sight - very, very good. I had a half slab with au gratin potatoes and cole slaw and bill was just over $20. Not bad for down town Chicago.

We have been known to take the 2 hour drive to the Dinosaur for lunch! Pretty good BBQ. We also have their book and wifey makes some of their rubs and sauce.

Raider Bill · June 07, 2009, 10:06:31 AM

Their book is a keeper!

My aunt got some dinosaur bbg sauce, that stuff was great! No funky ingredients either.

Now show this to your wife and see if she agrees with it 😂. Maybe old school women. But the new ones you would have a fight on your hands. 😂

@Raider Bill
Where do you get this WOMAN??

I got model WIFE and I can't post her answer to your rules on here!! :D

Raider Bill · May 15, 2020, 08:26:07 AM

The internet..

K-Guy · May 15, 2020, 08:53:40 AM

That's where I found my wife. ;D

Al_Smith · May 15, 2020, 10:49:25 AM

The most amusing has been Dream Land near Birmingham Ala .The food was okay but the decour was a hoot .If I recall it was not too far from the Whistle Stop Cafe featured in the movie Fried Green Tomatoes in Irondale .That trip had to be 20 years ago .

RichTired · May 15, 2020, 04:58:11 PM

Not sure what you had a Dreamland, but if you had the ribs, I find it hard to believe they were just okay!!! :(

Al_Smith · May 15, 2020, 05:15:15 PM

Let me just say I've had better but I'm not complaining . ;)

The Whistle Stop Cafe of Fried Green Tomatoes fame is in Juliette, GA, not Alabama.

Al_Smith · May 16, 2020, 07:27:01 AM

Irondale Cafe - The Original Whistlestop Cafe

Al_Smith · May 16, 2020, 07:36:55 AM

If I'm not mistaken the original Dream Land is in Birmingham .For some reason I can't post a link .What cracked me up was a neon sign on the back wall that said no farting .

WDH · May 16, 2020, 08:11:16 AM

Yes, it is considered the original Whistle Stop Cafe, but the movie was filmed in Juliette, Ga at The Whistle Stop Cafe there, not the Whistle Stop Cafe in Alabama.

Magicman · May 16, 2020, 09:21:06 AM

Where was the movie Fried Green Tomatoes filmed? LINK

EOTE · May 16, 2020, 09:56:24 AM

Brett's Backyard BBQ in Rockdale, TX - best ribs I have eaten. I've tried most of the Top 50 in Texas (except Franklin BBQ) but this one is better than them all. Won the Best New Startup BBQ in Texas. (Texas Magazine)

Al_Smith · May 16, 2020, 10:16:57 AM

They have a big rib cook off here locally .They come from all over the country .While many like to brag up their local favorites often times the winners are from the midwest .
Some like to slobber them up with sauce and others prefer a dry rub,different strokes for different folks .I prefer the dry rub myself otherwise I get more of the sloppy stuff on me rather than in me .I also like a little zip to them which requires plenty of beer ,they just go together in the hot July sun .It's Ohio but it does get hot here you know . ;)
