What A Difference A Week Makes

A week ago we had a disgusting lunch at the much touted The Varsity. Scroll down to read the icky details.

Today, we had an awesome lunch at Country's BBQ in Columbus, GA.

I got a new phone so I'm trying to be better about taking pictures for the blog. Sadly, I keep losing them randomly (or so it seems) and I don't know why. I swear I took a picture of Chris's lunch, but don't have it now.

He got sliced beef brisket and it was de-lish.

Here are some of the pictures I did manage to take and save.

Yes, that is a 24 oz Mason jar of iced tea. You know that made me happy. Look closely and you'll see that Chris wrote "Happy Birthday, Sue" on the brown paper covering the table. 

My meal. Chopped BBQ pork, bbq slaw, fries and two pieces of cornbread. I didn't care much for the BBQ slaw and brought home nearly all the fries and cornbread. The pork was delicious.

A heap of deep fried pickles. They were so good. Thin sliced and lightly battered and hot from the fryer. But a huge portion. The dipping sauce was tangy and tasty. 

Chris got a side salad and they brought him a bucket of crackers.


When she took our orders the waitress noticed the "Happy Birthday, Sue" Chris had written on the paper covering and promised me a free dessert, though there'd be singing. I wasn't too excited about that and when she offered dessert, I asked if I could take it with me because I was stuffed. She kindly brought it to me to go and w/o any singing. Buttermilk pie. Haven't tried it yet, but I have a good feeling about it.
