Ribs across America....
 

Just crossed the border. Here we are at a Flying J's truck stop in Tacoma Wa. in our recreational vehicle. Heading down the I5 toward Oregon and due south . No idea where we are going or where we will wind up but I will keep you posted.....

Re: Ribs across America....
 

Happy trails!

Re: Ribs across America....
 

Ill start researching the RIb joints in Charlotte.
Ill be in Atlanta at the end of the month.

Re: Ribs across America....
 

well, here I am in Medford Oregon in another truck stop drinking JD and wondering if the snow in the mountains will be a problem tomorrow. Perhaps, highway 1 down the coast may be in the cards. Hmmmmm. Nothing as serene as drinking JD straight from the bottle and contemplating the future. I could even get sublime enough to apologize to Raw Alex......prolly not. LOL

Re: Ribs across America....
 

US 101 down the coast isn't bad, as two lane highways go, but getting from Medford over to the coast is no fun at all.

They usually keep I-5 over the Siskiyou's plowed and sanded unless the snow is falling faster than they can keep up with.

Re: Ribs across America....
 

Hope you are having fun.. I'll be checking in with you very soon....

Re: Ribs across America....
 

Finally made it to California. We're lost in the redwoods of Humboldt County trying not to slip on the milk and get stuck in the honey. The pavement seems shiny and has an eerie yellowish glow.

Re: Ribs across America....
 

Montgomery Inn in Cincinnati, but I think Walts in Northern Kentucky is better

Re: Ribs across America....
 

I'm of the opinion that there is no really spectacular BBQ west of the Rockies or north of the mason dixon line.

Re: Ribs across America....
 

Wisconsin Dells is more of a summer destination but the food there is great.

I haven't been there in years but they have the best ribs on the planet.

Re: Ribs across America....
 

Its freeking wet and cold in sonoma but I did get to eat at the CIA.....when on the coast, eat the local food. Heading south west to death valley. closer to ribs and should be in chili country soon.

Re: Ribs across America....
 

I suppose you might be able to make it all the way out here if you are gone long enough.. lol

Re: Ribs across America....
 

Truck stop in Bakersfield (#36 your shower is ready) at the moment. Still cold. Heading for Barstow. Am thinking Roswell, Alamagordo and beyond.....

Re: Ribs across America....
 

sonoma yesterday, bakersfield today?

you're not stopping very long anywhere so far...

Re: Ribs across America....
 

We are trying to outrun the shit weather. Spent thr night in death valley and fit in a six mile walk at zabriski point before the rain and wind. tonight at the circus circus trailer park on the strip and a great dinner at Battistas. not sure where we will head next. I am thinking roswell then heading for warmfuckingweather.

Re: Ribs across America....
 

Makes sense.

I'm just a bit scared of RV's. joesho got in one a couple of years ago and hasn't been seen or heard from since.

Re: Ribs across America....
 

G, are you just staying West or are you also planning a run East?

Re: Ribs across America....
 

not sure, danny, just trying to find some warm weather. Hopefully Tucson tomorrow will be decent and then on to Roswell and El Paso

Re: Ribs across America....
 

The southeast is already seeing 60's and 70's.

Though typically we'll get one more cold blast for a few days before spring really settles in.

The quality of your BBQ picks up in Texas, KC, Memphis and peaks as you enter the deep south.

Re: Ribs across America....
 

Just outside of Tombstone for a couple of days and the weather is improving. Roswell and El Paso on the horizon. Finally settling into the trip with the sunshine.

Re: Ribs across America....
 

OK, so far its "The Snazzy Pig" in Roswell New Mexico. Hands down the best ribs so far. The worst.....again hands down .....Tomaine Tony's Pit BBQ in El Paso. Walked out after one bite. Worse than Dixie's.

Re: Ribs across America....
 

I envy your adventure, rhetorical. Wish I can do that too.

Re: Ribs across America....
 

A full moon, crashing surf, and crab on the beach in Malibu.....God I love this business.

Re: Ribs across America....
 

Damn I was just over in Malibu -- Gladstones on the Beach !!!

Enjoy the moonlight ocean...

Re: Ribs across America....
 

We had a lot of fun hanging out with Graham in San Fran.

Re: Ribs across America....
 

It really was a blast. I have a new appreciation for cucumber sandwiches.....lol.

Re: Ribs across America....
 

Ya gotta love LA....where else can you watch a movie (Enter Laughing) and spend the evening listening to Carl Reiner reminisce in the company of a few dozen die hard core movie junkies.

Re: Ribs across America....
 

Here's hoping I'll get a chance to see you in the not so distant future.

Is there a Tempe stop in about 3 weeks on the itinerary?

Re: Ribs across America....
 

unfortunately, we were just in Tempe where we met Miss Lizz, now we are thinking of moving north in California...Big Sur and then Oregon and Washington if the weather improves.

Re: Ribs across America....
 

Ribs across america and you see one corner and dont even make it to rib country...

:thumbdown

Re: Ribs across America....
 

Blame the weather. Best of intentions, worst of weather. It was even fucking snowing in Charlotte. What would you do? Eat ribs in the snow or sushi on the beach?

Re: Ribs across America....
 

well, ya see, we get tons of sun here. in fact, long about august, we get way way way too much sun. air conditioner repair vans run blue lights and are allowed to blow thru intersections like an ambulance.

so we enjoy a little snow when we get it.

you should try a southern circuit in spring or fall when weather is at it's best.

i heard someone hint at a little FFN road trip hitting jack daniels distillery, ribs in memphis and then hanging out for a day or three in the casinos on the river and eating with Paula Deen....

Re: Ribs across America....
 

You know that Lynchburg is a dry county.

Re: Ribs across America....
 

Its a bit of serendipity, but tomorrow "I'm going to Disneyland" and its my birthday so its free.....ya can't beat that with a stick.

Re: Ribs across America....
 

Yup. I do.

I'll bring my bottle of Old Weller.

These may be fighting words, but I think those Kentucky boys do it better anyway. Hell, it took Jack 7 tries to get it right, recipe is Old Number 7....the first 6 sucked.


But Jack's a legend, and they do a tour. It's the power of good branding.

Re: Ribs across America....
 

Was that a bell?

Re: Ribs across America....
 

Sure anytime after first week in april.

Re: Ribs across America....
 

I guess weve a website to update.

Re: Ribs across America....
 

i'm thinking a new trend....invite only.
