Because there is a lot of meats to choose from.  I bought the Jalapeno sausage, the beef brisket, and a pork chop.  The sausage was so-so and rather tough.  The brisket was good and tender.  I haven&#8217;t tried the pork chop yet.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nI was disapointed in the sauce.  Very watery.  You get free pinto beans which were also okay.  The berry cobbler was yucky.  My biggest problem with BBQ joints is the lack of veggie options.  Your choices are cole slaw, potato salad, or beans.  And the cheap white bread is another pet peave.  Good bread is out there folks!\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"photo\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/pictures.hamzy.info\/blog-photo-10042006(002).jpg\" alt=\"Farm trucks\"><\/img>\n<\/div>\n<p>\nOn the way back, I passed a huge farm truck convoy.
