It was!  There is another BBQ chain in St Louis (Bandanas) that does it, but I've never tried it until yesterday..

A little goes a long way - I couldn't finish all of my ribs.    If you leave Pappy's hungry, it's your own darn fault!

I just uploaded a bunch of pics to FB. Photobucket and I aren't getting along right now, I'll try again tonight.

It always hangs on the last file to be uploaded, and then I am missing a random pic. grrr.

Heading out of St Louis today to somewhere in Ohio via Indianapolis, then on to NW PA tomorrow. No phone or internet after tomorrow until next week.

It's a good thing!

We have made it to Buckeye lake, Ohio.

Post by: SouthernSmoked on July 19, 2011, 07:28:50 AM
Buckeye Lake...go little place to enjoy water recreational including swimming, skiing, boating and fishing.

If I remember correctly there is still a Smokey Bones BBQ there. Not the best but good.

I know there is a Max & Erma's.

Met Bryan from Yard and pool last Tuesday, pic to follow.

We made it home last night.

We had a 2.5 hour delay yesterday at a gas stop, our six year old bumped the "door lock" button...

Met Bryan, traded some bbq rubs.
