Pecan Lodge is known throughout the state of Texas as some the best BBQ around! In our four years here I've only been one other time for lunch - and during the 'winter'. Saturday Ellie and I agreed to take Bill to enjoy some smoked meat. And no better place than an adventure to Pecan Lodge.
It's located in Dallas, within an area known as Deep Ellum. Its a fun, artsy, food-loving area. The parking is sparse and the people are, well interesting! The line forms early here and you hope to get to the counter before they run out. Especially for the coveted beef ribs. That's what Bill is holding in the photo below.
It was delicious!
Ellie is a ribs girl all the way. Always orders pork bbq ribs no matter the place. I'm a beef girl so the brisket is my order of choice. Bill was determined to get there in time for a beef rib and a taste testing of the brisket and burnt ends as well. We rounded out our meal with smokey collard greens and a vinegary cole slaw. WOW! It was amazing.
The photo at the bottom was the line behind us. We were only at the front door with another 20 minute wait in front of us to the counter. It was about 40 minutes in line total. It was hot. There was a cooler with cold water and cups to make the wait easier. There was an overhang we walked along while making out way to the door.
The day couldn't have been more special for Ellie as she found her first famous person in line! One of the You Tube stars that she and Bill are both familiar with for making basketball plays was in line with the wife. She was star struck. And then Bill went up to the fountain soda for a refill and ran into him. They chatted for a moment, Bill pointed out Ellie and they waved to one another. Today she began following him on Instagram and found out he and his wife are expecting twins! So exciting!
In any event, another Saturday adventure in the books. Last week was the country, this week was BBQ in the city! Who knows what next week will bring ....
