Another long day of sitting and waiting. Thank goodness for sporcle.com.
Finally about 3 pm, someone came over and told us that they would be unloading us tomorrow (Wednesday). Sigh. The wind has died down but we had a few intermittent rain showers today.
Well, it could be worse, we could be in Wyoming or South Dakota where a majority of roads are closed due to a major spring blizzard. Up to 14" of snow and wind gusts of 70 miles an hour.....uh huh, yup, as much as I love Wyoming, I'm sure glad we are in Texas right now.
We took another ride to Corpus Christi and found a restaurant in Robsville, TX called Joe Cotten's Barbecue, which opened in 1947. Now that's what we are talking about. It smelled and looked like the real authentic Texas barbecue that we have been looking for. No menus here folks. The plates are $11 and you have your choice of brisket, pork, sausage or ribs, or any combination. We all go for the ribs, brisket and sausage and we are not disappointed. Our waiter brings our food out right away, no plates either, our food is served up on double sheets of waxed paper.
The meat is tender, well seasoned and pretty much cooked to perfection. Plates include the ever present pinto beans, a slice of white bread, a slice of whole wheat bread, a slice of tomato and onion, a pickle and a jalapeno pepper. After a few minutes, our waiter asks if we would like more to eat, its pretty much an all-you-can-eat concept.
Our 'que cravings have finally been satisfied. ahhhhhhhhh
