Best damn BBQ ever

Well, OK, maybe not the best BBQ ever but tonight ... it hit the spot. G and I are in Llano, TX and for dinner we stopped at Coopers Old-Time Pit BBQ. We really only picked it because it was surrounded by cars and trucks. If everyone else was going then it must be good.

Outside are three or four gigantic BBQ pits. There was only one going so I'm guessing they alternate them or they fire up more when they have a big event going. Anyway you line up outside the building and stop at the pit first. The pit guy will help you pick out what meat you want. He cuts it and dunks it in sauce (if you want) and puts it on a platter.

Then you take the platter inside where someone else slices the meat for you and wraps it in butcher paper. Then you pick out your sides and pay. The cashier hands you "your plates" which is waxed paper. Then you stop at the drink stand where you'll find free all-you-can eat beans, onions, pickles, etc. Then you pick a seat from a room full of tables and benches.

G and I sat next to a couple of good-old-boys who described ... in excruciating detail ... a football game. But then later started talking about "that guy in that tv show with Kurt Russell and he played a sniper." LOL

We finished off dinner some excellent hot peach cobbler. Mmmmmmmmmmm!!
