BBQ used to be poor man’a food, but not anymore. I remember cheap, thick sliced BBQ bologna and chop beef sandwiches on soft white bread when I was a kid. Now it’s not uncommon for the wife and I to spend $50.00 on a BBQ meal.
Boy thats the trurh Big Joe and don't even think about having a beef rib at that price! LOL
NO JOKE! In the late 80's early 90's I could walk from the Jr High/High School in Beeville, Tx and buy a huge chopped BBQ sandwich, chips, and drink for under $4-$5. The sandwiches were $2 - $2.50 each and were freakin' big and delicious. I could eat A LOT, but one filled me up.
Now down the road from me, I get a small sandwich that doesn't even fill up one of my little kids for $7-$8 each. It costs me $25-$35 to get full at Mack's BBQ. It's good, but damn....
