I also have a copy of John's book as well, and I bought an extra copy for my Pastor, who, at the time, was frequently visiting Texas with his then wife.

He told me they visited one of the recommended places and loved it, although I could not now tell you where and when

DR vixmom, keep us posted on the van accident. I am very curious to know what was going on with the driver. Was it a robbery get away? out of control van? health emergency? What a nightmare!

There have been rumors floating around that the driver had a heart attack, but no official word

TOD:

About 10 years ago, I was asked to coauthor a book on Texas barbecue.  Driving across the state to eat a barbecue places great, small, known and unknown was a great adventure. Learned a lot. Ate way too much. Met some wonderful people. Got some amazing photos. And the book came out fairly well, if'n I do say so.

It sounds like a great experience.

I think this country needs a serious blue wave in November to get a Democrat majority in both House and Senate to investigate and impeach a few Supreme Court judges. These sonsabitches have to go.

Exactly!!

I loved Dallas BBQ, too.

When co-workers and I moved from L.A. to Danbury in 1989, we went into the city a lot that first year and enjoyed a lot of exploring and casual eating. One of our earliest meals was in the one at 8th Street and University Place - if I'm remembering that location right. I think so. Later, I ate at the one farther east on 8th St. a few times. It was there for a long time, but it looks like it's gone now. I also remember seeing one on West 72nd St. next to the Dakota. Looks like they're still around, but in none of those earlier locations.

I definitely frequented all those locations. The one by the Dakota had a weird, castle-like interior, like it had once been a German themed restaurant. The one on University was great. It was actually consistent across the chain.

Is Hill Country Barbecue still open in NYC? I had a nice meal there when I came to town for The New Yorkers.

I am loving Shadow of a Doubt this time through. I wonder if I just wasn't on Hitchcock's page the first time I saw it. Now I love the way everything works together, from the way Dmitry Tiomkin weaves The Merry Widow through the score to the performance. Joseph Cotton was never better, cruel and charismatic.

I saw the news about that awful van accident on NBC’s national news last night.  Earlier this week something similar happened not far from our old house in Middletown.  The van and house caught fire, but the homeowner escaped with minor injuries.  The occupants of the van fled on foot and, last I heard, only one of them had been captured.

A nice memory. The meeting, that is. Don't remember the 'cue.
