Happy Birthday to Me!


Tuesday, February 27, 2007


In an inspired decision, my co-workers took me out to lunch at Atlanta's most famous BBQ joint. My camera phone only takes so-so pictures, but man are the ribs good!

The ribs look wonderful, but I was dissapointed to see the slice of bread....... It cheapens the "look" of the dish.
BTW... I am so glad you were born!!

What is the point of the one piece of toast?

Yeah, my composition left something to be desired. White bread is the traditional accompaniment to bbq, as witnessed by my recent trip to Texas.

I noticed the bread from your trip to Texas too and I still don't get it. It seems an odd pairing. It's like the bread is an afterthought thrown in just to have something other than meat on the plate.

I love ribs.

The bread makes a little more sense in practice than it does in theory. Oh, and I can make some ribs when you come to visit!

Happy B day amigo...I love BBQ, but I'd be thinking cornbread, not white for a side dish :)

I'm glad you had a tasty b-day meal, but . . . I can't say I've ever been terribly impressed by the offering at Fat Matt's. I got the impression the ribs I tried there had been boiled first--yick.

Sally,

They're not as good as other places I've been to, but they're the best I've had in Atlanta.

When I win this week's $340 million lottery jackpot and open my own bbq shack (Willy's Texas Hill Country BBQ), I'll be sure to up the ante for BBQ ribs in Atlanta. But that's a completely different post...
