Everyone has a soft spot for their favorite foods. When it comes to barbecue, I have a soft spot for Old Post BBQ in Russellville. All through college I could depend on the place for a good chopped beef brisket sandwich with that sweet and tangy thick hickory-smoke-ridden sauce with a side of fried okra.
It’s good to know things haven’t changed. We dropped by for dinner the other day. The hubster went for the Rib Dinner ($10.99) and got himself two potato sides, potato salad and curly fries. I knew what he was doing. He planned to have Hunter eat some of his meal, so I didn’t give him too much grief. As you can see, the smoke ring pinks into the meet quite a ways. Instead of one rack of four, his plate included a pair and a threesome of various ribs. So we trussed up one for Hunter. And she licked off the sauce and handed it back. Well, there you go.
