A BBQ Fiasco

Last night, the wife hinted that she wanted BBQ for dinner. Given the appropriate forewarning, I would have smoked some ribs myself. But at the last minute, I was off to buy some 'que. I have been wanting to try Shack in the Back, but I was denied. Apparently they are closed on Sunday. So I decided to drive to Ole Hickory Pit to try them, since it is only a 10 minute drive from my home in Fern Creek. I'll be darned if they weren't closed on Sunday's as well. FABD was too far of a drive (the kids were already hungry at this point)

So, I ended up at the Bootleg on Preston. We usually order from the one on Bardstown Rd. since it is so close to the house. I like their meat pretty well, but I am not a big fan of their sauce. To top it off, the Bootleg on Preston doesn't have the Gumbo that can be found in Fern Creek.

Needless to say, I ate dinner last night, but I still have a barbecue craving. One of the things that I truely miss about living in Lexington is the weekly excursions to Billy's BBQ for Mutton and Fried Pickles.

We've had the same problem too....it always seems I have the craving for BBQ on Sunday. By the way Jimbo's is closed on Sunday too. Mark's Feedstore is open on Sunday. My favorite is the original location on Shelbyville Road.

[quote="Pete O" . Apparently they are closed on Saturday.

Corrected. After spending all weekend in the house with the curtain climbers, the days ran together.

Keep trying to get to Shack in the Back you wont be disappointed there
