What I eat, apparently

So there’s this barbecue place vaguely near where I live that I’ve been dying to eat at for a few years now, called Buz and Ned’s. I’ll do that you see, I’ll have places that I’ll decide to eat at and it will take me years to eat there, all for various reasons. I’m a slave to coupons, so often this inconveniences me. If the food served there is rather unhealthy, it’s likely I’ll never get there in winter, as I always feel like a giant bloated sponge all winter long due to being to cold to move, and therefore, exercise. Really, the only thing I *am* good at in wintertime is eating Christmas cookies. Thus, the sponge.

Anyhow, Drew and myself made it over to Buz and Neds, he got a bbq chicken sandwich and I got the pork sandwich. Simply delightful.

I actually liked the chicken sandwich more then the pork sandwich, but this had to do with it having a bit more sauce then anything else. The sauce was excellent, sweet and barbecuey and just what I look for in a bbq sandwich.

Incidentally, the person at the register asked me if I wanted cole slaw and/or hot sauce on it. I declined for both. This is because a.) I am a wuss and can only handle but so much spice and b.) cole slaw is disgusting. I would even be able to give you scientific proof that cole slaw is disgusting if it weren’t for the fact that scientists are too grossed out by it to get close enough to gather the data necessary to prove said disgustingness. Cole Slaw is the Slaw of the Devil.

Also, their brownies are absolutely delightful. We didn’t get to try any sides, as one’s stomach can hold but so much.

Long time no post, eh?

I was a complete slacker this weekend. I’d be partway through eating something when I’d suddenly remember my lonely little camera, lounging away in the hotel room. So it goes. But it’s all good, I remembered a few times, and I can make up the rest.

Pizza is essential eating at the beach. This was a delightful pizza with chicken on it gotten from some place that also had even more delightful chicken souvlaki. Said souvlaki was so delightful that there wasn’t any delight left over for the camera, in that my picture of it really sucked. So here’s the pizza instead:

That’s one of the really good things about beach food, is that there’s about 28374892374 times as many locally owned pizza places as there are chain pizza places.

I also got the joy of eating some North Carolina Style (read: vinegar) barbecue that was actually good, and not dry like I’ve had before. Mind you, I still added ketchup, as I’m strongly a fan of the tomato based bbq, but nonetheless, I could have been perfectly content without. Yeah, I didn’t take a picture of that, either. However, there was also some barbecue on a seafood buffet, which I felt obliged to get. The picture came out dull and fuzzy, so I used my Photoshop friend to help it out.

Apparently, lens flare is barbecue’s best friend! You just can’t say ‘no’ to meat that’s as blinged out as that.

I heart barbeque, it is so gooey and delicious. This is not real barbecue, it is merely chicken doused with barbeque sauce and inserted into a sandwich-like item, but it was still quite delish.

I’d like to point out that there is indeed avocado in that sandwich. Avocado and barbecue, as well as avocado and most sandwiches, go delightfully together. I would also like to mention that pumpernickel is the Bread of the Gods.

I will be passing through barbecue central soon, and by this I mean the Carolinas, as I head off to Myrtle Beach for the weekend. Have no fear, I’ll be back soon enough on Tuesday, more likely then not laden with pictures of more tasties.
