So…I was contemplating a BBQ.

[TX_Pilot]

Hey BigD, Pretty sure Abilene Aero has some courtesy cars. I don't know for sure since I have family there that gives me a lift whenever I run down there. It's hard to beat Cooper's, but they do a pretty good job in Abilene. Joe Allen's has a steakhouse there also that cooks a VERY good steak. The BBQ place and steakhouse are at separate locations in Abilene. Looks like you may have to make 2 trips!

FlyChicaga, If we could figure out how to make chickens lay those instead of eggs, we'll be millionaires! Millionaires with gigantic beer bellies, that is.

Happy eating!

Re: Re: Smokin' Meat

Well here, I found a picture of a chick doing the BBQ thing with a beer can. Can you see the beer can?

MMMMM: BEER BUTT CHICKEN, that is the only way to cook chicken.
Another good recipe is 40 clove garlic chicken

Sounds good, TX_Pilot. Speaking of Steak places, there's a joint in Coleman Texas that's pretty good. Only been up there once, though.

Just one more comment:

I realize that Famous Daves may seem like small beans to most of you, but the last two times I landed in cities with one, corporate jet crews stole my courtesy car, forcing me to use vending. I own the following courtesy cars, so please check if there's a lifeguard king air inbound before taking them:

KRST - the blue Buick
KFSD - Ford Taurus
KOMA - whatever the TAC Air car is that day
KSTP - The PT cruiser at Regent
KMSP - whatever the car is at Signature

Thanks for your time.

p.s. Tony Romas is also good, although more expensive

DFW Metroplex BBQ joints

I guess it's obvious I love BBQ since I've contributed to this thread more than any other since I've been coming here...

More places for good BBQ around DFW:
1.) The Railhead smokehouse in Colleyville-on 121 west of DFW
and the original in Fort Worth near downtown at I-30 and
Mongomery
2.) Angelo's-North of dowtown Fort Worth on White Settlement
Blvd.
Highly recommended. Used to frequent both when I lived there instructing at Meacham. And, to fan the flames of the Dallas vs. Fort Worth war, the staff at the Railhead Smokehouse wears T-shirts that say "Life is too short......To Live in Dallas..."

BigD, we may need to start a thread on Steakhouses too, since there are alot of good ones in some out of the way places.

I agree! My dream has always been to own a private airport, and allow anyone with a plan for a kick-ass restaurant to build on my land for free. If the restaurant is good enough, people would drive in from town as well as fly in from around the state. My biggest complaint about Texas is the lack of airports with food right on the airfield. I feel like there's enough demand to justify building such a place if the capital/investors were there.

I just wish I had money growing from trees!

Jergar999,

I used to live in Rochester....many moons ago. There used to be a little BBQ joint on HWY 52N, up around John Marshall High School (on the west side of the highway). I don't remember the name for sure, something like Cheap Charlies. Is it still there? I've never heard of The Blue Buick.

All this talk of BBQ, by the way....THANKS GUYS ....got me thinking about places of old and your post on Rochester brought a flood of mouth watering, fall off the bone rib memories.

Thanks!

...Off to get more BBQ! Good thing there is a grocery store a mile away, otherwise the first pig I came across would be in the backyard pit slooooooooooooowly turning!...

One more for good pulled pork and sauce:

Spiced Right BBQ in Lilburn, GA right outside ATL near Stone Mtn.

Good pulled pork buffet and more types of sauce than you shake a stick at.

"Mmmmmm, put a bowl uh that own yer hayed an yer tounge'll beat yer brains out tryin tuh git to it!"

Happy Memorial day and God bless the troops who make it happen!

Louisville

There's a couple of spots around the airport, Marks's Feed Store and also Firehouse. Mark's is pretty crowded during lunch so get there early. The Firehouse is a little better I think, and about a 20 minute ride from the airport.

 

[crash-proof]

Jenkins BBQ, Fort Lauderdale. Cannot avoid smell or avoid sight of chimney smoke when driving past it , on Federal Hwy.

 

[Kingairrick]

I don't know if it still open, but PIGGY PARK, in Colombia, SC rocks.

!@#!@#

I sit at my cubicle, waiting for a phone call so I can leave. (My fiancee is in training for her new job until 9, so I'm solo). She made me a large salad before she left, since I tipped the scales at 25lbs overweight =(

Yeah, so, I figure "hey... let's read flightforums!" before I leave. And I came across this thread.

Yeah, so, the salad is in the fridge, and I just finished a duo platter (4 ribs and a little less than a 1/3rd of a chicken), with grits, potato salad, corn bread, and sweet tea. For this Yankee city, the BBQ was pretty dang good.

When Jessie comes home, I'm blaming you guys and giving her the URL for this place.... ;-)

Cheers,

-Andrew

I wish i could spell briscut

By far the best bbq that i have had was at Rudy's in San Antonio. The briscuit no briscut... ah whatever the beef, turkey, and chicken are awsome!!! However Romas aint all that, once resturants become a chain they loose their mistique. I realize Rudy's has several locations, but nothing on the scale of Romas.
As far as fly-in resturants in TX there is the place on the field at HDO. Then there is some little airport west of Alliance, is that still there? Also there was a pretty good hamburger joint in Tyler but I heard it closed. Also in ASG there is a pretty good diner in the FBO upstairs.
How about the free Otis Spunkmeyer cookies at most the FBO's, you cant eat just 10.
Keep it coming this is great.

I just remembered one of the best BBQ experiences I ever had. Surprisingly, it was west of the Mississippi.

Latimer's BBQ, Tulsa

Smoky, run down little joint near the airport at 1529 E Apache St. When you're driving there, you'll wonder why the hell you're in that area. But as your leaving with your belly full and your clothes smelling like you laid on the pit yourself, you'll be glad you ventured there.

 

[bigD]

YES! BBQ talk again. This board was getting too serious...

This coming September, a bunch of hot college girls in bikini's are going to be washing airplanes at AUS. Come on down! I'll be catering BBQ too (at Falcon Capt's request!)!
