That sounds good to me Tito.

My local friends tell me that it is way better food than Curtis. We should try it!

When you get to the site click on locations and then check out the menu at the original Tuscaloosa location. The way BBQ was meant to be served.

Ribs and white bread.

Shit yeah Tito lets just ride down to Bamma and have some real BBQ then we could stop in Tenny and compare the bbq and stop in NC and check them out . By the time you got back up north you would be my size LOL. I would like to try the BBQ in VT but I hate to tell you I doubt it is as good as home.

There is actually a really good BBQ place here in Burlington, but it's too far from Bennington to be practical as a lunch ride. But these guys do BBQ right -- really good sauce, excellent pulled pork, huge portions, and they even have fried okra. I love fried okra.

Really thats cool you might have to drop me a address to it. I have to come back to VT in the next couple of weeks. I left something there and I really need to come back and get it. Okay I will tell you its several cases of Long Trail Rasberry Wheat Beer. That damn Todd brought it to the party and I only have 2 bottles left shit nothing in this world makes me pissed like running out of beer.

As long as we don't ride on fuckin Rt 5 again, we can go to lunch anywhere. That was pretty brutal. I shoulda just slabbed it up one exit and met you guys there I think I need to back off my rear shocks a bit...

That place looks cool. I had the pulled pork at Curtis... was kinda tough. My uncle down on the Cape makes AWESOME pulled pork. You can get mango salsa on it. Yummmmmy. Sounds weird, but it's good!

[LoVel]

Doesn't really sound so weird. You ever tried salsa on hotdogs or have you had one of those breakfast burrito things. Salsa and eggs and sausage. Yum.

I know dreamland is a bit far to ride for lunch but did you notice other than the BBQ and the white bread that comes with it, the banana pudding and the chips, the only other things on the menu were drinks and from that small selection beer was one of the options?

The place in Burlington is called Big Fatty's, and it's on Main Street.

Let me know if you really will be in the area.

Hey Jimmy, yeah, that's some tasty shit! Also quite refreshing is that Dogfish Head brew and can't wait to get me to the outside of a few pints again! Should you take the ride to Burlington I'd have to reccommend stopping by at Otter Creek brewery right off Rte 7 and then to Magic Hat brewery off 7 as well. I've been thinking we should have a brewery tour for the next Bash and can think of 4 places that would tack on a couple hundred miles and cut right through the Green Mountains. Let me know if you make it up and I'll see if I can get away for some cold ones.

Mark what's the name of that place out towards Williston I think that's like an old fasioned burger joint? Sells fries by volume (pint, quart, etc)?

[TonUp]

Is it "AL's French Fries"?

YES!! That's it. Another fun place to eat. Not the best burgers in the world, but it's old school and fun and decent enough. Love it
