Texas

Texas cookin. Texas culture. We soaked it up. The Warehouse Barbecue. Baby backs, sausage, and shredded brisket so good I couldn’t put barbecue sauce on it. Barbecue at a picnic table with a napkin holder on top in the shape of a picnic table, with a live bluegrass/country five piece band with a combined age of 350, playing to an audience with a combined age of 3,500, for tips. Mandolin, acoustic, electric, string bass, acoustic. It was clear they had all played before. It was not clear if they had ever played together before.

The walls were covered with all the stuff you would expect the walls to be covered with at a Texas Roadhouse. Elvis plays on Friday nights.
