Still stuck in Knoxville …

When they moved the time earlier, I was a little tempted to drive up from northern Alabama, then I remembered why they moved the time up and stayed home

Thanks for the write up, hope you make it home soon.

 

Disinfect yourself when you get back.

 

I was stuck in Knoxville for seven years. It was called grad school.

 

Is that what kindergarten is called in Tennessee these days.

 

Being stuck in Memphis or Nashville wouldn't be bad. Being stuck in Knoxville? You have my sympathy.

 

Is that Chris?

 

So are you still shacking up with your cousin in Knoxville? You did say stuck and it was cold.......

 

Are you kidding. Memphis is a dangerous sh.thole.

 

I grew up on the Southside of Chicago.

Memphis style dry rubbed ribs are the best. I am smoking some dry rub ribs right now.

 

And then youll put the sauce on?

 

That is like putting ketchup on a hot dog. Jeez! You are joking, right?

Just showing my Chicago bona fides with the hot dog thing. We allow kids under ten to put ketchup on a hot dog but they know better after that.

 

I'm more of a piedmont, vinegar sauce guy.

 

Ribs are not North Carolina BBQ.

Piedmont would be whole hog.

Western NC would be more smoked pork shoulder for pulled pork.

BBQ in NC varies county by county and maybe even more granular than that.

They wouldn't think that Texas beef brisket was BBQ.

And then Kansas City ribs are wet and totally different.

Don't get me into what western Illinois BBQ is. Not a good thing.

Up there with ketchup on a well done steak with a Diet Coke.

 

Yellow mustard is uncivilized unless it’s Dijon or some other type of foreign mustard. If it’s French’s or an equivalent yellow mustard, it’s barbaric to put it on any food whatsoever.

 

If someone puts yellow mustard on my hamburger, I am ready to risk everything and throw down on the spot.

 

So have it your way at Burger King.
