More Tales from the Road

Yes, BBQ is involved. Why do you ask?

so anyway, Wednesday found me again in the thriving environs of Benton Harbor, Michigan for a "fact-seeking" trip to the Plant(s). Work wise, is was smooth. I told them what I needed, they handed it over; we all had a good laugh. Tell me again why I had to get up at a quarter to dawn and drive two+ hours to get this done?

Lunchtime rolled around and my fellow worker-bee (and fellow blogger) and I started wondering where we'd go to eat. A quick check of the inter-web net-tubes thingies and we had our answer: Charlie's Piggin-n-Grinnin. The name alone sealed the decision.

So we went, and it was good. I had the brisket sammich and the rib tips, along with the baked beans and cornbread. Mo had the smoked turkey sammich, which he said was "very good".

A few notes: the cornbread was good, texture-wise, but needed more sugar. The brisket and the rib tips were very good, Charlie's BBQ philosophy rings true: cook it low and slow.

Over all, a very good BBQ experience. If you're in Benton Harbor and happen to be hungry, Charlie's Piggin-n-Grinnin is a good choice.

There was more to the story, but that was days ago and it's late now. More soon.
