Although a couple of days ago, I wanted to share with y'all what a wonderful experience I had (and have had) with Jeff's BBQ. We know the amazing foodie pics that have been shared. Who wouldn't want to try that out?
I've been meaning for many weeks to get over there, but my schedule means I'm not up until the afternoon and I forget. My wife and I finally made plans (yes, we have to do that because she is a great cook herself), and we decided to get some chopped brisket!
My mother-in-law hears I'm going over there, so she wants in on the action for her and her hubby. Okay, done deal.
Of course, I'm running late, so I rush out to Nevada. (It's a really easy drive from Farmersville, especially if you drive to Rockwall, Wylie, Lavon on a regular basis. About the time of watching a commercial if you're familiar with the route.)
I show up and Jeff opens the window. Even though we've never met in person, he already knew who I was! Just because of Facebook interaction. He shook my hand and we chatted a bit, then I placed my order.
Now, mind you, based on what I said earlier, I'm a late riser because of my schedule, so I have just enough time to grab this, then get back to Farmersville to pick up both my kids at the Junior High.
Order was placed quickly, even with the awesome conversation. While I'm waiting, another man stops by to drop off some more wood for the smoker. I'm thinking, "This guy (both of them) are serious business!"
Meanwhile, we discuss the "cold corn salad" that I missed, and why he isn't able to offer it anymore, along with why ribs are only sold on the weekend.
Jeff wraps everything up (even with a no-charge extra dose of BBQ sauce because I was ordering for two families) and I'm out of there faster than a premium BBQ place should. Picked up the kids just in time.
Do y'all realize how hard it is to drive when the amazing smells of brisket, BBQ beans and tater salad are wafting all around the inside of your truck while rushing back to pick up kids from school?! It weren't easy, let me tell you. I wanted to pull over and scarf that stuff down.
Short story long, the food is A. Maze. Ing. And it's not just the food (well, really, it is...) but it's also the fact that Jeff knew who I was just because he pays attention to what's going on. He even asked me later that day (via Facebook) how the food was, and I told him it was stupid amazing and that I was more stuffed than one of his taters.
Speakin' of, I'm going to hit one of those Texas Taters next time I'm there.
Y'all have seen all kinds of amazing foodie pics from Jeff, but I want y'all to see what the premises actually looks like. As I said, it's so easy to get to - just down south on 78, right on the highway. Take a bit of time to schedule a trip over there. You'll be glad you did. read more
