Hoping Texas sucks

[swoopem]

Definitely check out Hard 8 BBQ - funny name, serious BBQ.  It's where all of the network people that come to cover the Cowboys go.  It's actually located in Coppell, TX - which is 10 minutes from DFW Airport (take the North Airport Exit), follow signs for 635 East - first exit off of 635 will be Freeport Parkway - take a left on Freeport Parkway, and go about 1.5 miles.  Will be on your right at intersection of Bethel Road and Freeport Parkway.

You won't be disappointed, but you will leave smelling like BBQ...it's a great experience...amazing BBQ.

Thanks dude

Truth is you can't eat any sandwich. Read the book, Grain Brain, and you'll swear off the stuff, among other foods, forever.

And that is exactly the reason I won't read it.

You gone Paleo too?

You should be encouraging people to eat as much bread as possible given how much inflammatory diets destroy people's teeth.

Wheat and sugar will kill you in so many different ways. And, you'll be miserable along the way.

No alcohol for Paleo....I got issues with that

Everybody dies.   Eat a steak, have a cigar, chase it with a microbrew.   Die happier.

I'm kinda partial to Memphis Barbeque.  Gotta have the pulled pork sandwich with the cole slaw on it.  That's good eatin'.

I have flown in and out of NAS Memphis over the years and now have a lot of Bros who fly for FedEx and live in Germantown. I actually prefer the 'Vouz's dry ribs. Corky's has a great sauce and I had my FedEx buds hook me up when deployed to the 'Stan; Corky's will FedEx anywhere and my buddies could ship for free so I always hosted a squadron pork feed in the land of Sharia.

Speaking of slaw on a pulled pork sandwich, I always thought that was particular to NC style. There is a hole in the wall Que place in Accokeek, MD that asked, "Yankee or Dixie?" The difference being the addition of slaw.

Nothing like good ol gas station by-the-pound BBQ.  Creamed corn at Rudy's is amazing.

All of Rudy's sides are amazing. I love how you go through the serving line with a plastic Pepsi delivery tray. Any place that serves everything by the pound is serious about its offering. I recall we drank quite a few Shiners sitting outside in the 98* shade. I always brought home one of those liter bottles of sauce. I recall one time a group of us were each buying a couple bottles of sauce and the cashier, overhearing our conversation, reminded us that we couldn't take them on a plane. There are distinct advantages to being a pilot.

Doc,

I was blown up in Diyala and Diwaniya and shot in the back in A Stan. The 100 pieces of shrapnel in me light off the metal detector like a pinball machine. I'll risk a pulled pork sandwich with a beer now and then.

So, pork between 2 lettuce leafs and a bottle of water doesn't get it done?

After driving through the panhandle recently, I can accurately make this claim: Texas sucks.

TSA either missed or deliberately ignored the liter I brought home last time in SAT.

What's the point of living longer if you're just going to be miserable the entire time?

You can actually get by pretty happy by eating less crap and better food. And that includes lots and lots of steak and eggs.

For lots of people, the point of eating healthier hasn't been to be perfect -- there are diminishing returns -- but to get closer to overall optimal health.

Veganism is godawful, by the way.

I think I like where you're going with that book, but it sounds a lot like Atkins and his diet that led to a gripper...

Thing is, it's not a diet. Rather, a way of life. Decrease the inflammation in the body and lots of chronic and auto-immune diseases disappear.
First couple of weeks without the grains and gluten are tough. Seriously, you soon don't crave the typical diet. Gotta thing outside the box. Problem is the vast majority of croakers wanna push pills down your throat. Thereby, just attending to the symptoms, but not working to eliminate the problem.
I can guarantee that those who buy in, will not only lose weight, but will also generally just be more energetic and feel better overall.

Sulfides.

And, it's not beer.

Have you ever tried a gluten free beer?  I definitely DON'T recommend it
