Hopefully you are planning to visit one of Dallas’ fine dining establishments this weekend. Where did you go this week? Did you discover something old? There are certainly a zillion new places to try. Go. Eat. Report.
Last week Poetaster, a talented reader, wrote a poem about Pecan Lodge. It reads:
THANK GOD FOR BARBECUE
Dear Lord, it’s me, seeking forgiveness,
My sin of gluttony at that barbecue business.
Yes, Pecan Lodge, you must be familiar
With that smoky place, I think you’ve been there.
How else to explain such heavenly flavor –
Mouth waters on entering, what’s not to savor?
So back to my sin, I just have to admit
While only two, we ordered enough to befit
Ten more: pound of burnt ends, pint of slaw,
The Trough, with large bone on which to knaw
(And yes, I thought you might definitely agree
At $eventy Five dollars the rolls should be free).
And two craft beers each, both before noon,
Wednesday turned to Friday, a great afternoon!
To take home with us, we added one Hot Mess
(In case the leftovers didn’t last, I confess)
Please God, please forgive me, a lowly sinner,
Soon, please hurry, so I can return for dinner.Nice effort! Yet another commenter Old LakeHighlander also reported on barbecue. Not just one, but two reviews. He/she loves the brisket cheesesteak at Lakewood Smokehouse. The sandwich is “moist brisket, nicely seared peppers, onions and mushrooms, a perfect amount of queso, all on a tender toasted hoagie.”
Old LakeHighlander hearts Lockhart Smokehouse as well. The baby back ribs have “just the right amount of chew… Just-right spice rub, moist, flavorful; meat. Truly the best BBR’s I have eaten.”
I don’t know about you, but I never get tired of barbecue.
