Tell Us About Your Rides!

Good ride story! Sounds like a very peaceful time.

By the way that's one helluva smoker - well done! Of course, now I'm hungry and need to go find some good pit beef or ribs for lunch...

You aren't in Texas. You are in the east. Pork is king here. Pork. say it with me: P-O-R-K. A nice shoulder smoked over hickory or apple. With a spicy rub. Then basted with a vinegar based sauce. Finally pulled apart (so tender you don't need a knife) and served by itself or on a white bread roll. No whole grain. No potato roll. Just plain white roll. Side of beans and slaw (on the side I said).

Beef consumption should be limited to steaks, burgers and pot roast.

That is all.

What about cornbread?? Is VA far enough south for cornbread? If'n so, why can't I find any good cornbread??

In my opinion, I have not had a decent slice of cornbread since I left western NC. Up here they make it too sweet.

True enough, though a good pit beef sammich is a MD staple - "Pit stops" - I'm particularly a fan of Shorty's.

Also a fan of the swine, though I haven't seen pork like you describe north of NC. Guess I need to head over to the "Road Food" forum and see what's up! Love to pursue the DIY route, but my apt building apparently frowns on setting up smokers in the living room...

Sorry... I forgot you were north of the Potomac. That explains a lot. :shock:

I had EXCELLENT cornbread at a BBQ place in Mineral VA on Saturday. Mineral is s/se of Louisa. Can't vouch for the quality of the pork bbq - I'm a vegetarian! Couldn't eat the green beans, either - they had pork mixed in with them. I think the cole slaw even had chunks of meat in it :)

The cornbread though - really, really good.

Can't recall the name of the shop, but there's only 1 stoplight in Mineral so it's not gonna be hard to find!

Very nice ride report, Mike. Sounded downright mellow. And as a fellow hunter (the title of the thread was what caught my eye), I agree with the rant as well!

You truly have it bad!!!!! Just remember when the guests arrive and the meat is ready, all juicy and tender, begging to be heaped on someone's plate to be savored a moment or two before leaping onto their anxiously waiting tastebuds, LET THE GUESTS GO FIRST. :roll:
