Blu's Barbecue

We got the e-mail for the FNDR this week and they are going to Blu's BBQ & Burger. It is in a little building across from the Bombing Memorial. Keith and I send out texts and 4 of our friends want to ride with us for dinner. It is a nice and warm as we start out but I know it will be cold coming home.



We arrive and go in to look at the menu board. The owners are taking orders behind the counter and they are super friendly. The husband made me laugh, He asked if my bling ring was real. If it was I would need a body guard to wear it. I ask what their favorite things are. They give quite a few good suggestions.  Finally we decide on what to order. Keith is always healthy and chooses the buffalo chicken sandwich. I (of course) choose the rib and brisket plate. Now to choose the sides, there are the normal fries, baked beans, okra, corn, tater salad and slaw. The interesting sides were block o'cheese and tabouli. I pick the okra to share with Keith and the tabouli. Larry had never eaten tabouli so I share some with him. He thought it was pretty good. The ribs were amazing and the brisket was smoky and tender. I felt bad when Carla asked  me to pass the ketchup so she could put some on her French fries. I gave her the red bottle thinking it was ketchup. OH NO it is the hot BBQ sauce. Carla doesn't do hot. 
 After we eat they bring out cookies for dessert.
There was quite a large group tonight it was Chuck's birthday. Their son, daughter in law and grandchildren, Diane's mom and step dad were there.  Along with the rest of he normal gang. A great group  of people to wish Chuck a Happy Birthday!






Blu's BBQ has a Face Book page and they will take your picture under their logo and post on the page.  We all line up for a photo op.












I had to take a picture of the mirror in the ladies bathroom because Larry loves things with American flags on them.












Diane shares some of her essential oils (snake oil)  with Carla whose back is really hurting. Hopefully this will make the ride home easier for her.  It is now time to put on all the warm clothes we brought and head home.

We may get cold but we can make it home it is only 1 1/2 hours.  This summer the rides home will be great, cool and sometimes cold when you ride through the low places.
