BTW, for all the Whiskey Bay and NOLA ppl., they also have a place in Shreveport, LA, well worth the trip.

All due respect, meant in only the most complimentary terms, but the missus is a real HOTTIE with legs up to here ¯ (LegMan >me)! Well done you!

If you really like BBQ, Country Tavern is the best in TX, but the best in the world is a small place called the Pig Pit in Cado Valley, AR (everything is smoked over a Hickory Fire Pit which was lit back in 1954 and kept going ever since). I know OTR Truckers who'll go 100 mi. out of their way to hit the Pig Pit, and I once-a-year have several lbs. of their meats FedEx'd to my home for a Super Bowl party - every year since 1997. Take I-30 out of Dallas east to Cado Valley, AR (exit 78) .5 mi. south to the Pig Pit.

Then, once full of great BBQ (don't forget to keep room for their Fried Fruit Pies), take AR St. Hwy 7 out of Cado Valley into Hot Springs - some of the twistiest, most scenic roads in the US - always a lot going on there - the only inner-city National Park in the US - the sidewalk is actually HOT (can't walk barefoot) from magma running so close to the surface.

That sounds like a blast! Damn all the talk about BBQ is making me hungry..
Those were some damn good ribs.
