A BBQ Quandary

 

Song:  Gonna Make You Sweat

Group:  C&C Music Factory

I had awakened this morning with a mad craving for Texas BBQ...

and so...off I went.

I played the above song on the way to Rudy's Country Store...

to eat some Texas BBQ...

as I was jazzed in anticipation of a mouth watering meal

(I love Texas BBQ).

It is right near the border between Manitou Springs...

and Colorado Springs...

on the Colorado Springs side.

I had just pulled on to the road from my driveway and rounded the first corner...

as I headed down my mountain.

You can see the mountains of the Continental Divide in the background.

I was in Woodland Park headed to Colorado Springs.

I had never been here before...

but I see it every time I go to Colorado Springs.

It was late morning...

so...

I beat the crowds.

I had ordered the holy trinity of BBQ sandwiches....

Smoked Sausage...

Beef Brisket...

and Pulled Pork.

I liked that they have the BBQ sauce at each table

(I don't know if their misspelling was on purpose).

What I really liked is that they pile on the meat on each sandwich.

I did the same for each sandwich...

I loaded on the BBQ sauce...

and then I put on some cut onions.

Each of their slow cooked smoked meats had a rich smokey flavor...

and were juicy and very flavorful.

They had buttered and lightly grilled each bun half...

a very nice touch.

My quandary lies in my choice between two different BBQ places...

this one...

and the main one in Woodland Park.

It has been a year since I had visited the one in Woodland Park.

But...

I don't remember how their BBQ tasted...

and so...

I simply must go back soon to see which one will be my favorite  :)

I was also very surprised at how relatively inexpensive this BBQ place was.

It is priced at levels I haven't seen for decades...

especially with the quantity given...

and the quality of the meats.

Heading back home

(I saved a little of one of my sandwiches for Bandi to taste).

Leaving Woodland Park towards home.

On my way to my South turnoff towards home.

------------

Bandi and I are still comfortably tired from yesterday's short trike ride.

Tomorrow evening...

I will be heading into the nearby town of Cripple Creek 

to see their small Ice Festival.

And to...

hopefully...

eat some delicious food there.
