Dickey's Barbecue Pit

[Perd Hapley]

There's one not far from me, but I've only been there once. My understanding is that ice cream and pickles are free, with purchase of an entree, or something like that. Also, I think you can bring the plastic cups back for free refills. Or not.

I've had them a three times, all three were free and catered in.

I found it to be consistently eh. Good enough to enjoy my lunch, not good enough to ever bother finding their location. We've got enough good BBQ places that it just ain't worth it. And the only one that requires risking life and limb is the add on to a car detailing place.

Some of the best BBQ has been found by cruising the neighborhoods looking for smoke rising from the side/back of grocery stores that are fitted with the roll-down bars/full steel shuttered fronts.  Many times I tracked places down by trying to figure out the direction the smell of meat was coming from.

Going farther afield, folks often set up smokers by the side of the highway.  Signs are put up about 1/2 mile down the road advertising "BBQ Ahead".  Another reason for keeping a cooler in the car (besides the normal use for stashing a gun out of sight).

stay safe.

That's how you find some of the best Mexican around here. Probably 50% of it is in a little corner grocery store or liquor store.

It is OK BBQ for a chain. The Carolinas are BBQ heaven so you don't have to look hard for some righteous BBQ.

I hate CA after getting stationed at 29 Palms, but I do miss that Mexican food something fierce. There was a little 2-3 store family owned chain called Santana's that was incredible. Carne asada nachos were amazing. It still seems weird that I haven't found a single Mexican place in WA that does carne asada nachos.

Bring your yellow cup, free drinks forever.

Went to one in KC a few years back.  Not bad.  Then they opened one here, in my little 'burb.  Brought my yellow cup and drinks were on the house !!!


Also, you'd think with the Great Migration that at least ONE person from the south would have brought BBQ and given that Chicago had the largest stockyards in the world  ("Hog butcher to the world." Anyone?  Bueller?) that there would be "Chicago BBQ" that would rival Carolina, Texas, and KC and kick all their asses.  But NOOOooooooo.  We have to go out of state (mostly) for BBQ.  Yes, there's Famous Dave's, but that's chain BBQ.  It's okay,  I think Dickey's brisket is better and like their sauces.  However the best BBQ around here is Uncle Bub's.  Simply because the do the cooking on premises. 

With the way you insult the South why the hell should we bestow upon you wretches real and proper BBQ?
