Penzeys is Coming

Steve P...if you don't already know about it, try their Rojo sauce. It's fantastic on leftover pulled pork. We do about a pound of pork and 1/4 cup of the sauce for tacos. Simple and really good! You may like a little more sauce or some extra cayenne, but it's got some spice to it and great flavor, works well with the smoke.

MOST excellent. I'm gonna be on this like a Hobo on a Hotdog.

Won't that require braving Shelbyville Rd.?

Ehhhhh....I'm shooting for around 1pm, it shouldn't be too crazy. You won't catch me around there at 5pm or anytime on a weekend though, I can promise ya that.

Why do people think the traffic on Shelbyville Road is so bad?

Bardstown Road is worse. Frankfort Ave. is just as bad (it's the same road!). Plus there are a number of back ways you can get to Shelbyville Road plaza (Sherburn or Bowling for example).

I mean, December is a disaster, but otherwise I'll take Shelbyville Road on a Saturday afternoon over Bardstown Road on a Saturday night each and every time.

Hell, at least there is plenty of parking at the businesses on Shelbyville. Parking anywhere in Clifton or the Highlands is always an adventure.

SuperCuts said the rent was getting too high and moved to a strip mall on Shelbyville road, closer to the old Sears building.

Chris, it's not so much that the traffic is -that- bad...for us it's the taking you life in your own hands part when trying to get from the Watterson off-ramp to the turn lane into any of those plazas/mauls. It's fricking cray-zee. Throw in a few texting teenagers and angry-gi-normous-SUV-driving-soccer-moms busting down Shelbyville road with their heads up their asses and their foot buried in the accelerator and I actually fear for my life in the particular area.

Woo Hoo went this morning with my son and we were customer number 2, well 2 and 3 I guess but he picked the stuff out I paid since he is a poor student. They were so nice and friendly, I don't mind driving Shebyville Rd any more than anywhere else in town, I figure you have to drive like everybody else dosent know what they are doing and be prepared for anything.

You would have been customer numbers 3 and 4 but I over slept. Just got back, spent about $100 bucks and got some very cool stuff...Traffic sucked, but at least now I know how many goofy-morons it takes to block and intersection -three- traffic light cycles in a row.

Bardstown Road is worse.

I've mentioned this before, but you came to the wrong place with that. I've been fortunate enough to learn that traffic flows freely 24/7 and people always wave each other forward and allow each other to merge on Bardstown Road and in the Highlands. They've evolved spiritually beyond the concept of traffic.

And on the off chance there is traffic, multi-ethnic groups of children in tight jeans will pick up your car and move it to the destination of your choice whilst humming the 20-minute guitar solos from your favorite Phish songs for your entertainment.

(just funnin, Highlanders. Please do not send a culturally diverse group of rich white folks to come "enlighten" my kneecaps")

That is IT !!!....That is -fricking- IT !!!!...I've had it "up to here"...I will not standby and let your wonderfully warped and playful sense of humor go unrewarded. Consider yourself "officially" at the top of the guest list at the next Rolling Bones Pork-Stock-a-Palooza-Get-On-Down-and-Git-r-Done BBQ Tho-down.

We also went today and found a few things we didn't already have! The store is much bigger than I expected it to be. It's very open and comfortable, they have a jar of each spice that you can open and smell each spice which is a very nice feature. I'm sure we'll do very well. By the way we were told that if you are on their mailing list they're going to be sending out a mailer for a free item of some type to introduce people to the store.

I would have to say this has been one the funniest recent posts here on Hotbytes.
Nicely done...

I know I was suitably impressed. The choice of Phish over (say) Widespread Panic was brilliant in it's simplicity. The only thing that could have possibly improved the post might have been reference to a poorly done PBR tattoo somewhere between the words "multi-ethnic" and "tight jeans".

I visited today at 5:30. As I walked around sniffing glass jars and whatnot, I realized it had gotten quiet. They close at 6:00 folks. Seems weird for an East end strip mall store.
