The room was silent. Barbecue expert and writer Lolis Eric Elie, author of Smokestack Lightening, had just been asked what he thought about New York City barbecue. He paused for a little too long and then said, "Well, to give the city its due, the sides are much better in New York than they are in the South."
Unfortunately, he is correct. Barbecue is about the meat, not the sides and, well, it's hard to find brisket and sausage here that can compare with their Texan brethren. But this weekend I had the good fortune to eat Elgin hot guts and juicy, smoky brisket right here in my own urban backyard thanks to the Big Apple Barbecue Block Party.
I have to admit, while this block party has been happening for five years, I'd never attended. I don't like lines, I don't like crowds and I'd much rather eat barbecue in its native environment. But my magazine was sending a reporter to cover it and my boss asked if I'd like to take the photos. Curious what all the fuss was about, how could I refuse? I only had one request: the chance to eat lots of barbecue. My wish was not denied.
This event is vast and impressive as it invites pitmasters from all over the South to showcase their barbecued meat in the middle of Manhattan. And with so many pits fired up, as I approached Madison Square Park mid-morning on Saturday, I could smell the smoke two blocks away. There was pulled pork shoulder from South Carolina, Mississippi and Alabama, whole hog from North Carolina, baby-back ribs from Illinois (OK, that's not the South but pitmaster Mike Mills is still a barbecue powerhouse), and of course, brisket and hot guts from Texas. Representing the home state were Hill Country legends Southside Market and The Salt Lick, along with Baker's Ribs from Dallas.
People are passionate about their barbecue and what made the Block Party so fascinating was how everyone wore their colors as if it were a sporting event. You saw Big Bob Gibson T-shirts, Peace, Love & Barbecue T-shirts (from Mike Mills' barbecue cookbook of the same name), University of Texas T-shirts, Ole Miss T-Shirts and, well, you get the idea. And you had people extolling the virtues of sauces, people shouting that sauce is for sissies, people debating the merits of pigs over cows and even amongst the Texans there were heated arguments over which was better—Salt Lick or Southside.
For me, it was no contest—Southside took top honors. The first thing that struck me was the three generations of Bracewells—the owners of Southside Market—on hand. There was Ernest and his wife Rene (classic Texans of a certain age who reminded me of my grandparents they were so full of smiles as they worked at the stand), their son Billy and Billy's son Bryan (pictured above)—the current pitmaster. This family touched me with their warmth, passion and generosity and seemed genuinely surprised and pleased when people complimented their food, even though you knew they'd heard it countless times before. But solid family values and pleasant dispositions aside, let's talk about the meat.
The Salt Lick served its decent brisket and links already covered in sauce (you had to request that they not douse the meat) along with some coleslaw. Whereas Southside served its superior peppery, juicy sausage and succulent, smoky brisket straight up Texas-style with just a slice of white bread, onions, pickles, cheddar cheese and a whole jalapeno. For me, sauce is just gilding the lily, which is probably what bothered me most about Salt Lick slathering the stuff over its wares. Another thing that struck me as strangely wrong was I saw the Salt Lick's pitmaster giving a demonstration to a small group on how to make coleslaw. As delicious as its slaw may be, I've never heard of anyone making a pilgrimage to the Hill Country for the side dishes, and if you have a pitmaster's attention, do you want to know how he makes coleslaw? I didn't think so.
Now don't get me wrong, I have nothing against side dishes in general or coleslaw in particular. It's just Texas barbecue is traditionally served sans sides, with just the aforementioned bread, pickles, peppers and onions and some cheddar cheese—if you're lucky. In cow country it's all about the beef. Even today, many Hill Country places still don't sell sides, though some have conceded to consumer demand and now offer, albeit begrudgingly, a few for their customers. But these are usually an afterthought to the excellent barbecue and not that terrific. Not that anyone really minds, however, because the miraculous meat is so sublime you really don't need anything else.
Which brings me back to Elie's comment about New York City barbecue. The meat in New York may not be a true taste of home, but check out the cornucopia of side dishes on menus here: you'll find creamed spinach, macaroni and cheese, sweet potato fries, fried-green tomatoes, cheese fries, creamed corn, sweet potato puree with bourbon, potato salad, corn pudding, green-bean casserole, and of course, the old standbys, coleslaw and barbecue beans. All are admittedly very delicious, but most of them have no place at a barbecue save for the coleslaw and beans. Plus, I can make these at home, but I can't smoke meat, which is the only reason why I go to a barbecue joint.
Nevertheless, I am very grateful for the eating opportunity I had this weekend. And I may complain about NYC barbecue occasionally, but it's not that bad and is improving all the time. Heck, a new place called Hill Country just opened and it's modeled after Kreuz Market in Lockhart. They smoke the brisket and beef ribs on site, but they fly in from Texas Kreuz's links, Blue Bell ice cream, Big Red and Texan wines. (And are hoping to get a permit to sell Dublin Dr Pepper and Shiner Bock soon). I look forward to trying it.
In the meantime, because you can't survive on a diet of meat alone, I'm going to whip up my preferred side dish, a spicy batch of coleslaw. I realize I questioned the Salt Lick pitmaster for giving a lesson on how to make this dish, but that's probably because it's one of the quickest and easiest things in the barbecue side-dish canon to make. I toss my cabbage with a bit of mayonnaise, some lime juice, some jalapenos and some cilantro, and after an hour or so it melds into a crisp, tangy, cool and spicy salad perfect for the warm-weather months. And while its a great addition for barbecue, it's also delightful on its own. And after all that marvelous meat I ate this weekend, I'm in dire need of some vegetables and this batch of slaw should provide just the relief I seek. Hopefully, my meat coma should subside in a few days so I can mosey on over to Hill Country, refreshed and rested enough to try their Texas-style barbecue fare. But for now, this weekend's Big Apple Barbecue Block Party satisfied my craving until I can return home again.
Coleslaw with cilantro and jalapenos
4 cups of red cabbage, shredded (I prefer red because it's pretty, but you can also use green or a mixture of the two.)
1/3 cup of mayonnaise
4 tablespoons of lime juice
1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons of cilantro (plus more if you're as mad about it as I am!)
2 jalapenos diced
2 cloves of garlic pressed or minced
1 large radish, grated
Mix all ingredients and chill for a few hours for the flavors to meld. Serves four to six.

Cole slaw: taking sides with barbecue

I couldn't agree with you more about Southside's brisket and sausage, they stole the show for me. I'm inspired to try my own texas hot links now (hopefully this weekend), I just can't get them out of my head. I might even have to drive to Elgin to get more while I'm in Houston soon.

Even though I also hate crowds and long lines, if I was in New York I'd have to go to this at least once. Interesting to hear your observations. I got to try the 7 Times World Championship Pulled Pork (his recipe title) prepared by Chris Lilly and realized I'd never really had "low and slow" barbecue before! Sorry if I sound like a barbecue name-dropper, but it was quite an experience! It's probably not something I'd attempt cooking myself, but I do see what all the fuss is about.
Your coleslaw sounds like something I'd love. I'm such a cabbage fan, and of course, there's cilantro! Cilantro=good in my book! Saving the coleslaw recipe right now.
- growler said...
It was my first time this year too. I tried to go last year, but the lines were out of control.
Southside served me up the best damn BBQ sausage I have ever had. My God, it was so good. I passed on the Salt Lick 'cause I've been there in person and wanted to try new stuff.
Speaking of new stuff, I hope you got yourself a taste of the Proclamation Team's Brunswick stew. That was tasty! And the folks manning the booth were the friendliest ones I encountered all day. Sadly, NYers don't know what Brunswick stew is, and the booth wasn't getting the traffic it deserved.
Oh, the fried pies were great too.
- Kim West said...
As a transplanted Texan myself - I miss the BBQ. The only side I like with my BBQ is home-made potato salad.
- Tim said...
You post an article on BBQ and all those delicious looking pictures of BBQ but the recipe is for coleslaw?
I'm traumatized. I feel like the kid that opened up a big box at his birthday only to find out it was underwear.
- Olivia said...
Oh stop, stop now! My mouth is watering like the Rio Grande.
I love that coleslaw recipe and hope to use it sometime. anything with cilantro in it...
At our church in The Woodlands, there was a group called the Holy Smokers. They had those big barrel pits, and they would throw in whole onions into the fire, but i have no idea what marinade they used. That was the most delicious, tender BBQ I ever had. When we lived there, funny enough, we rarely ate out BBQ, we did our own.
I am hoping against hope that there are enough Texans in the group I met the other week (at the US embassy) for at least ONE decent BBQ this summer.
- shuna fish lydon said...
I just talked for about an hour on the phone with a chef friend of mine who went to this! So nifty to then read your personal account here.
Might I meet you soon?
- Jerry said...
Ok, I'm making a trip to NYC next year for this block-party, but hopefully I will already have a job in NYC so I won't have to travel.
So a place better than Salt Lick? Hmmm, now that's a statement. A statement I don't hear often, especially here in Austin. Of course I've never heard of Southside. Praytell, where is this place? I made baked bar-b-que ribs last night, although it lacked the smokey flavor, it was tender, juicy and finger licking good. :)
As for sides, COLESLAW all the way. Now I'm not one for sides, creamed of spinach, mac and cheese, cream of corn, or anything creamed, I'm not a fan. So keep sides simple, go with Texas. :).
- Class-factotum said...
I miss Texas BBQ -- I make a pilgrimage to Goode Company in Houston any time I am there. In Austin, I prefer Green Mesquite.
But now I'm an expat living in Memphis, where they have their own version and it's just as good. They do pork BBQ here. I think it was Lewis Grizzard, during the Atlanta Olympics, who explained why they BBQ beef in Texas instead of pork -- because it's too hard to steal a pig when you're on a horse.
- Culinary Cowgirl said...
Oh yum...now that's my type of coleslaw!
And being from a "grilling" state...I have to say that real Texas barbecue is second to none.
- Rev. Biggles said...
Hey Tim,
Don't sweat it mang. Attempting to lay down the flavors of real barbecue isn't something that's done this easy. The slaw recipe is an excellent way to guide you through. Although, I have to say it would have been nicely followed up by my "no cookie ingredient cornbread" recipe.
And HS Texan, while I haven't been to where you are, I believe you're spot on. A good blog buddy over at http://whitetrashbbq.blogspot.com/ has been laying it down for quite some time. New York is doing very well in BBQ and when searched out, will render goodness.

Joshua--Weren't they amazing? I kept going back to their stand and getting more! BTW, Sunday afternoon, were you talking to Bryan Bracewell about how to get to Southside from Houston? I just ask because I was there and I heard someone asking him for directions. You should defintely make the trip when you're in Houston. Go to Lockhart as well!
Kalyn--That was my thought exactly: I would be a fool to not sample the bounty on offer at least once. And Chris Lilly was a doll! I spoke to him for a while, as well as his mother-in-law, Carolyn McLemore, and they were very friendly and welcoming. And yes, it's funny but anytime I make something with cilantro I think of you, saying to myself, "I bet Kalyn will enjoy this!"
Growler--That Brunswick stew was amazing! And I loved how they were handing out the recipe. Lima beans never tasted so good! I'm definitely whipping up a batch the first cold snap!
Kim--Potato salad is wonderful when well made. So often I find it too mushy or too sweet, but I'd like to take a stab at making a decent batch.
Tim--Awwwww, I can't make barbecue because I don't have a smoker, alas. Sorry, dear.
Olivia--I love the sound of the Holy Smokers! What an excellent eating experience! And good luck with the Texans...between them and your Aussie friends I reckon you're due at least a few good barbecues this summer!
Shuna--Thank you! And yes! We're due to meet next week! I'll be bearing biscuits.
Jerry--Southside is just down the road in Elgin, you should go there while you're still in Austin. And if I lived in Texas, I don't know if this event would merit a trip to NYC just for that cos there's so much excellent bbq near you. But, if you live here, that's a whole 'nother thing.
Class-factotum--I love Goode Company, it's my favorite Houston bbq. And Memphis is no slouch in the bbq dept. as well. It's different, but still very, very good. And thanks for the laugh!
Culinary Cowgirl--Thanks! And even though I'm biased, I agree with you!
Rev. Biggles--I was hoping to meet Robert aka Mr. White Trash BBQ this weekend at the Hill Country NYC booth, but alas I didn't, though I did meet Matt from The Hampton Smoker. He was very cool and generously gave me a couple of beef ribs from the Hill Country pit--to die for! And while I haven't been to the restaurant proper (I'm going on Sunday) I'm still blessed to have RUB around the corner from me--their burnt ends make me swoon!
- steeped said...
As much as I adore California's endless stream of produce and cuisines, I miss a good pulled pork sandwich. Growing up in North Carolina has spoiled my appetite somewhat for lesser barbeques.
- eonyc said...
Ha! My friend and I walked through there! We'd already eaten so I just enjoyed the smells...I always forget that's coming to town. I'm planning a trip back to Texas this summer and I sure as shooting plan to get some TX BBQ!!!
- Rev. Biggles said...
Oh you Carolinaians. I've been hip to your monobarbecue lineararity for years. It's unfortunate you are unable to enjoy the world's wood fired meat happiness. That one might be in Vietnam at a street vendor enjoying pork grilled over fanned hardwood and only wanting for pulled pork. Heading out to a smoke house in Lithuania and lamenting that it wasn't pulled pork. Spending days along the Italian coast and tasting the world's finest smoked charcuterie only to remark, "Yeah, but it isn't pulled pork." Or to wander through Berlin's smokehouses tasting such things that have been a staple in a nation's diet for centuries only to mutter, "Too bad they don't make pulled pork the way we do."
I love the Carolina's pulled pork very much, but I personally don't believe it's the only way to cook and prepare pork shoulder. Some day when I'm old enough and rich enough I will travel to such wonderous places and spend loving time at each table making sure I don't miss a nibble. Everyone's cuisine is so precious and tasty, it's a gift and I accept it.
xo, Rev. Dr. Biggles PhM
ps - Made cream gravy for my roasted chicken tonight. Nyah.
- Tea said...
Unlike Tim, I'm delighted with the coleslaw recipe, as it's something I'm far more likely to whip up for lunch--looks delicious!
- Joshua said...
No, I wasn't talking to Bryan, I just looked it up on Google Maps when I got home from the party :)
I also noticed that Bluebell is on the way to and/or from Elgin, so it'd be an extremely worthwhile trip.
- Tavo said...
Your post reminded me immediately of my first run to Bo's Barbeque in Lafayette, CA. I think a reasonable paraphrase of my reaction was, "Baguette?! Is that a chunk of baguette!" Good thing his meat is so rocking. It had to compensate that much more sitting next to that french thing.
- Lydia said...
I too hate long lines and crowds (and yet I grew up in NYC....), but I would put up with anything for a decent bbq brisket. No sauce, please; just give me great smoked meat, well trimmed and falling apart. Oh joy!
- christine (myplateoryours) said...
Wish I had had this cole slaw recipe last week when I was making my usual boring buttermilk version. Going to actually eat Texas barbecue in Texas tomorrow -- something I don't think I've ever done.
- Homesick Texan said...
Steeped--On the panel I saw, there was a big debate if the barbecue in California was good or not. There's no taste like home!
Eonyc--No trip home is complete without bbq!
Rev. Biggles--You bring up a good point--if you can't be with the one, love the one you're with!
Tea--It's very refreshing--enjoy!
Joshua--If you take 290 from Houston you must stop in Brenham, where the cows are very happy! It's one of my favorite road trips!
Tavo--A baguette? Ha! Good thing that the meat is so wonderful.
Lydia--Yep, that's the only way to eat it--let the succulent meat speak for itself!
Christine--Lucky you! I can't wait to hear about your trip!
- wheresmymind said...
A whole Jalepeno...dang girl you are SPICAY!
- Kathleen said...
As usual your making me hungry. Love the coleslaw recipe, want to make it this weekend. Was up in Manhattan recently looking for Shiner, didn't relize it wasn't up there yet.
- Anonymous said...
Funny you mention Salt Lick... We ate there Memorial weekend. It was ok, but not to my taste. I had the bbq platter to get a taste of everything. As you experienced, there was sauce on it! And not your typical bbq sauce. It was the color and consistency of gravy. Very strange. My Austin kin tell me that the "other" Salt Lick has completely different fare. We went to one on 360. I'd rather go to County Line when in Austin.
Better yet, get invited to Texan's backyard party. Or drive around until you smell the smoke and invite yourself!
Like you, I'm a purist. Give me peppery, smoked beef glistening with just the right amount of juicy fat. If the sauce is good and on the side, I'm in heaven.
I do like slaw. It is so easy and versital. Can't wait to try your yummy recipe.
- nancevil said...
Southside is the best handsdown. County Line and Salt Lick are just names people know and repeat but neither offer a great food experience. When in Austin, try Ruby's on 29th @ Guadalupe near the UT campus...the meats are incredible and the sides are numerous.
- Anonymous said...
Never been to a barbecue place that didn't have either potato salad or baked potatoes....
- kickpleat said...
damn, that looks good! sadly, the only bbq i've had was out of a restaurant from vancouver. it was tasty...but probably not the most authentic! i am a total sucker for coleslaw however and that recipe looks great.
- Scribbit said...
Coleslaw with a kick. Hmmm. . . I'll have to try it. The sides are my favorite part actually.
- gilly said...
Oh I love the sounds of this coleslaw! That extra bite sounds like just the way to spruce up a summer favourite!
And happy belated blog birthday! I'm sorry I missed your previous post - the sheet cake looks amazing!
- Homesick Texan said...
Wheremymind--Some like it hot!
Kathleen--It's not here yet, but hopefully will be soon if Hill Country gets the A-OK to sell it.
Texann--I love the idea of driving around until you smell smoke--that's the best way to find bbq. Enjoy the slaw!
Nancevil--I love Ruby's! I'm going to a wedding in November and they have Ruby's catering it--I can't wait!
Anon--There are still a few that are purists, though they are hard to find.
Kickpleat--Thanks! If you enjoyed it, that's all that matters! Enjoy the slaw!
Scribbit--If you love sides give this one a try!
Gilly--Thanks! And the extra kick keeps you awake on those steamy, hot days!
- Yvo said...
I wonder if I saw you there...! I was there on Saturday for much of the time. I feel silly now.... I didn't pay attention to the signs and made a beeline for Dinosaur, which technically I can get any day... I should have tried the Texan places. There's always next year, or a trip to TX! (With long emails back and forth b/w us so you can tell me every place I need to hit... I hope... Hehe)
- cat said...
one word....Lockhart
ok two words....Smitty's
- Tim said...
Rev. Biggles,
Cornbread AND BBQ? Now you are talking my language. ^_^
- Ken Wheaton said...
I think I see a market for a "Don't Sauce My Damn Meat" t-shirt. It just kills me that people will put a piece of hog or cow in a smoker for 12 hours ... and then drown it in sauce! What the hell!?!?
And the sides... there's a reason that in places like Lockhart, the sides are served (and paid for) separately. Hell, the loaf of white bread they give you is beside the point. (Though, yes, I do make sides when I cue).
And for the commenter from Austin who's only tried the Salt Lick ... for shame, son. Get your butt down to Lockhart.
- Ivonne said...
Your knowledge of BBQ is breathtaking. I could read you write about it forever!
- Michael said...
I'm a native texan who happened to be in town for the weekend and was so excited to see this going on. Southside's BBQ was by far some of the best I've ever had. Saltlick never impressed me before and this time it was no different. It was probably some of the worst I've had. The brisket was fatty and stringy and just not very good to eat. Overall though i was just happy to have some brisket after being in South Carolina for almost 2 years where only pork can be found.
- Susan said...
Growing up in RI, BBQ usually referred to hotdogs and burgers on the grill! I never knew how passionate people could be about BBQ until I lived in NC. Entire sections of the market were devoted to all things BBQ as were many restaurants. So, I really enjoyed reading this post. I'll also be trying your coleslaw recipe this summer.
- Homesick Texan said...
Yvo--Maybe you saw me, I was the woman in cowboy boots taking lots of photos. But you didn't try the Texan places???? Girl, are you mad? Ah well, there's always next year!
Cat--Those are two of the finest words ever!
Tim--Biggles always serves up the best!
Ken--You tell them! And sign me up, I'd wear that shirt.
Michael--I really can't figure out the Salt Lick phenomenon. And they won the Snapple people's choice award! Sheesh! Oh well, the upside was the lines weren't that long for Southside which meant more excellent cue for those who know what's best.
- TexanInNYC said...
Help me Homesick Texans!
I have a birthday rappidly approaching, and I'd love to go out for mexican food somewhere in NYC(really though, I'd be happy to settle for a place that serves a decent margarita that doesn't cost $20!) Nothing fancy - just a good margarita at a place where my friends and I will actually be able to get a table and actually hear each other talk.
Any recommendations??
thank you thank you thank you!
- Olivia said...
I seem to have lost touch with the Aussies, but - you might as well know - I am dating a guy from Tennessee that I met at the party - and we were talking about Texas beef BBQ versus pulled pork only yesterday.
- growler said...
If you like your margaritas tasty, cheap and strong, you could do worse than the Rodeo Bar. Plus, they get some good to great bands playing in a side room, and there's no cover to listen.
And to anyone here thinking, like I did, you'd try Hill Country for a late lunch to avoid crowds, you'll have to wait. Called them today and they're only open for dinner, starting at 5:00. Guy said they may start lunch service in about a week, but to call back and ask again before making the trek, 'cause they're not sure when they'll be doing lunch
- The BBQ Guy said...
I just surfed by this evening. Nice blog. Love the recipes and the overall theme. I'll definitely be back.
- Jaye Joseph said...
I can't take the Salt Lick anymore. It's gone way down hill. Smitty's, that's the stuff. In town, I go for Iron Works, or surprisingly, Whole Foods.
I have an odd perspective being a native North Carolinian, but having lived in Oklahoma and Texas for the past 20 years, I see the merit in both styles of 'que (though I'm probably a little biased to the Texas). Sounds like a great festival!
- Homesick Texan said...
Texan In NYC--Happy upcoming birthday! Rodeo Bar is a great suggestion. You might also try Florencia or El Rio Grande--not like home, but not bad either.
Olivia--Tennessee barbecue isn't bad, it's just different! But it should provide fodder for lively debates between the two of you!
Growler--Rodeo Bar is good fun! Great suggestion. I'm going to Hll Country tonight, I hope it's not swamped.
The BBQ Guy--Welcome and I look forward to seeing you again!
Jaye Joseph--Smitty's has my vote, but I didn't know Whole Foods had barbecue. I'll have to check it out next time in town. And I've never been to Iron Works (it wasn't open when I lived there) but had some fine meals at Ruby's. And that's interesting that as a native North Carolinaian you've decided that Texas barbecue is superior--I've never heard a truer testament to its deliciousness!
- Mae said...
Hey, i've just voted for you for the 'Grill Me' contest... make sure you take me as your companion when you win! hehe. :)
- Lissa said...
I'm another Homesick Texan, transplanted from Houston to North Carolina five years ago. I decided a long time ago that trying to compare Texas BBQ to NC BBQ just isn't fair to either one. It's like trying to compare Chinese food to Italian food. I love both, though I will never understand serving hush puppies with BBQ. Hush puppies are for seafood!
That said, I've always had sides with my BBQ in Houston. Goode Company has some of the best potato salad around, and their beans are yummy, too. And no visit would be complete without a piece of jalapeno cheese bread to sop up the sauce.
Oh and about the sauce - I love it. Slather it on, and give me a cup on the side. I love brisket, but I also love it with a dill pickle chip on the fork, and dunked in the sauce. To each his own, I guess. :-)
- Don Ray said...
Boy, if there is one thing I miss here in Panama, it is good Texas Bar-B-Que.
I will be in Texas at the end of the month and I need to take care of that desire.
- Homesick Houstonian said...
Lissa mentioned the sides in Houston. Y'know, i'm starting to realize Houston is its own separate category of Texas Food. You can find any cuisine you want. The Texan food is slightly different, but it is still authentic, it is the original capital of Texas after all. It is in a way a culinary center of Texas. After all, is the number one dining out city in America.
While everyone is nostalgic for Kreuz and Salt Lick, I miss my Goode Company, Merida, Hobbit Cafe, Star Pizza....
So, to make a long story short, perhaps, sides aren't an NYC non authentic bbq thing, they're just a big city thing. And our Texas big city makes them too. (and makes them better than nyc)
- Homesick Texan said...
Mae--Thanks Mae!
Lissa--Yep, they are two completely different cuisines. And Goode Company has excellent sides, especially their jalapeno cheese bread (I should figure out how they make it!). The "no sides" thing tends to only be found in the Hill Country.
Don Ray--No doubt, when you're in Texas you'll definitely have to get your fill of barbecue.
Homesick Houstonian--That's what I love about Texas, how each area has its own variations on the basic state cuisine. And yes, Goode Co. and Star Pizza are something to be missed. Did you know you can order Goode Co. food online?
- Lissa said...
Houston is indeed its own separate category of Texas food. Even the Tex-Mex tastes different outside of Texas. This includes the Ninfa's in Baton Rouge. The food doesn't taste the same, and the prices are higher!
I've known about ordering Goode Co. online, and friends always bring me some sauce when they visit. I've even had a friend send me one of their pecan pies for Thanksgiving.
(Speaking of pecans, they say it wrong here. It's taken a while for me to keep from flinching when I hear it.)
HT, have you done an entry on kolaches? I've not seen one, but I haven't searched thoroughly yet. I found a pretty decent recipe I'd be willing to share, if you're interested.
- Homesick Texan said...
Lissa--That wrong way of saying pecan makes me cringe! And how that ever became an acceptable pronuciation of the word baffles me--it sounds like something you'd go to the bathroom in on a camping trip, and not a tasty and delicious nut.
I have done an entry on kolaches, here's the link:
I'm curious how my recipe compares to yours!
- Lissa said...
I'll have to tell my husband (NC native) what you said about their pronunciation - that's funny!
I've compared recipes, and they're almost exactly alike. The only difference is in the butter and salt - mine calls for 3 tbs. butter and 1/2 tbs. salt. I found it on allrecipes.com (long before I discovered your wonderful site), and it's a a bread machine recipe. Oh, and I make sausage & cheese rather than fruit.
I'm going to try your recipe next time. Now all we need is a Shipley's donut shop and some Blue Bell!
I'm off to vote for your blog now...thanks!
- Erin said...
The only time I've ever been happy to see Salt Lick was when the LA Texas Exes flew that and Amy's Mexican Vanilla in for the big TX Independence Day BBQ-- and even then I was happier to see the ice cream. I prefer Green Mesquite, Ruby's, and hell, even Luther's. The best side I ever found was in some tiny town just southwest of San Antonio, I have no idea which, where the creamed corn was just shucked fresh white corn in cream gravy. Out here in LA I suffer along with Bryan's TX Pit at the Farmer's Market at the Grove and Harlon's in Hollywood, but the first place that flies in Bluebell will win my heart forever. I miss it so!
- Anonymous said...
I live 5 minutes away from the original Rudy's BBQ in San Antonio. There side dish of cream corn is divine!
- Benjamin said...
Wow, some rough words for the Salt Lick here. I moved to NYC last year, but I always had excellent brisket at the Salt Lick: Tender, moist, good smoke ring. And I recall doing the saucing myself, but that may be due to my adherence to the all-you-can-eat.
As far as the sauce: The Salt Lick does not serve Texan-style barbecue sauce, end of story. It's not really gravy, but it's a vinegary sauce. Then again, their slaw has sesame dressing, so it's an idiosyncratic experience. As far as sauce in Austin goes, I was always partial to the spicy sauce at Mueller's (now closed) and Ruby's (not Rudy's, thank you very much). The fact that someone trotted Luther's out there is hitting below the belt.
Sausage: Well, of course Southside wins here. Elgin hot sausage is the ticket. While we're on the topic of Elgin sausage and Austin: You can also get a plate of said links at Hoover's, which will address your need for more varied sides in one fell swoop.
Here's what I thought was unfortunate about the NYC event: The Southside servers acquiesced to my demand for a sausage-only basket, but the Salt Lick servers (the same batch of NY teens, mind you) gave me their standard plate, even though I only wanted their brisket, ribs and slaw. And speaking of ribs: Where the hell were the Salt Lick's pork ribs? And their cobbler, for Pete's sake?
Fortunately, last week we went home, where my grandmother addressed the glaring cobbler issues of the summer thus far. I can only hope the Hill Country joint opening in NYC straightens this mess out.

Lissa--Sausage and cheese are just as wonderful as fruit-filled kolaches, I also make both. I'm surprised you can't get Blue Bell, they sell it in other places in the South such as Georgia.
Erin--Salt Lick's better than no barbecue, I will say that! In the panel I saw, the others kept insisting that the barbecue is tasty in LA and Lolis Eric Elie just kept shaking his head. I laughed!
Anon--Haven't had Rudy's cream corn, I'll have to try it sometime.
Benjamin--I was never a big Salt Lick fan, but to each his own! I reckon the Salt Lick doesn't do pork ribs at the Big Apple Block Party because Texas is known for brisket and hot links while BBQ places from other states are known for being more pork-centric. But write them a letter and complain!

this is definitely the type of American experience I would love to have, one day! My dad would, even more!

HS Texan: I'll blow some smoke your way today. It's Memorial Day weekend in the Homeland. Today's fare includes a huge brisket smoked over pear wood, baked beans, fried squash, and coleslaw. I wish I could share it with all of you!
- Julie said...
Okay I know you said that the coleslaw is the easy part of BBQing...but I have been craving Salt Licks coleslaw for 4 years!!! And tried everything I could think of to get the recipe! You apparently watched them make it!?! Could you share the secret recipe??

I made your slaw to go with pulled pork tacos and it was awesome. It reminds me of the pulled pork tacos and creamy Mexican slaw tacos I used to get on the East Side of Austin, Texas. The combination is fantastic - you should try it, if you haven't already!
- Anonymous said...
Oh, and I forgot to add that we think this slaw gets better the longer it sits & chills (but we think that about all cold slaws, lol). We made it the night before to serve the next day, and OMG was it terrific.
Now, if you can find the recipe for chile con queso that they serve at La Posada in Big Spring, Texas, you'll be Queen of Texas Foods (at least in this flat)!
- Bride to Be said...
We've made this twice and we're about to make it for a Super Bowl party, respect!
This is delicious cole slaw, for realz.

An impacted tooth is a tooth that is positioned against another tooth, bone, or soft tissue so that it is unlikely to fully erupt through the gums to reach its normal position in the mouth.
Impaction typically occurs in the third molars, also called the wisdom teeth. Wisdom teeth, which begin to develop around age 9, are most vulnerable to impaction because they are the last teeth to erupt, usually between the late teens and early 20s. By then, the jaw has stopped growing and may be too small to accommodate these 4 teeth.
An impacted tooth remains embedded in soft gum tissue or bone beyond its normal eruption time. The cause may be overcrowding. Other teeth may also become twisted, tilted, or displaced as the new teeth try to emerge.
Risk Factors
Impacted teeth are common. Factors that may increase your risk of impacted teeth include:
- Genetics
- Poor orthodontic treatment
Some people with impacted teeth have no pain or other symptoms. In those who have symptoms, impacted teeth may cause:
- Pain or tenderness of the gums or jaw bone
- Unpleasant taste when biting down
- Bad breath
- Redness and swelling of the gums around the impacted tooth
- Prolonged, unexplained headache or jaw ache
- Difficulty opening your mouth
Complications of untreated impacted teeth include:
- A cyst in the soft tissue under the gum line
- Tooth decay
- Misalignment of other teeth
- Inflammation of the gums, which can lead to infection—gingivitis
- Absorption of bone or adjacent teeth
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Tests may include:
- A visual examination to look for signs of infection or swelling
- Dental x-rays to confirm tooth impaction
If an impacted tooth causes no pain, inflammation, or infection, and does not affect mouth alignment, no treatment may be necessary.
If there are noticeable symptoms, surgery is usually recommended to remove all impacted teeth, preferably while the person is young. This may be done by a dentist under local anesthesia if the tooth is exposed and can be easily removed in one piece. For difficult extractions, your dentist may refer you to an oral surgeon. In these cases, general anesthesia or an IV sedative may be used. Your dentist may recommend following until surgery can be scheduled:
- Over the counter pain relievers to ease pain and swelling
- Gargling with warm salt water to soothe gums

Deans to focus on student connections and out-of-class learningJanuary 31, 2013
Two Emporia State University administrators have new titles that reflect stronger bonds with students on campus.
Lynn Hobson is now dean of students, and Dr. Gonzalo Bruce is now dean of international education. Both were associate vice presidents of their respective divisions.
"We redefined their former positions to show the more direct connection to students," said Dr. Jim Williams, vice-president of student affairs. "Both Gonzalo and Lynn will also work more closely with the Provost Council, which represents the academic leadership on campus."
Hobson's added duties will include closer involvement with the Center for Student Involvement, Associated Student Government, campus programming, student development and other student-focused programs. Bruce's new responsibilities reinforce and strengthen the connection between the academic and international student program missions.
Both changes were accomplished without an addition of resources, Williams said.
"The Division of Student Affairs is raising the bar," Williams said. "Gonzalo and Lynn were both willing to step forward and be the type of 'go-getters' that make things happen."

Students display artwork in thesis exhibitionsMarch 4, 2013
Two senior art students will have their fine arts thesis exhibitions this month.
Kaila Mock's display, "(dis)comfort," will be in the Normal R. Eppink Gallery, and Joe Sircoulomb's display, "Queer," will be in Gilson Memorial Gallery. Both galleries are in King Hall on the Emporia State University campus.
The exhibits will be on display from March 5 through 15. A reception for both will be from 5 to 7 p.m. Friday, March 8, in the Bruder Theatre Lobby of King Hall.
(dis)comfort "deals with the aftermath of sexual violence on both the mind and the body," said Mock, who plans to graduate in May with a bachelor of fine arts degree in glass, sculpture and photography and a minor in art history. Queer "addresses Eastern esoteric traditions while taking a stance for the quality of gender and sexual minorities, said Sircoulomb, who will also graduate in May with a BFA in glass and sculpture with a minor in art history.
Both galleries are open from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Judges overturn legal aid ruling
Leading judges have emphasised the importance of a resolution being found to an "impasse" over lawyers' fees which they described as standing in the way of the delivery of justice in the most complex criminal cases.
They sent out their message at the Court of Appeal in London as they overturned a Crown Court judge's decision to throw out a multimillion-pound fraud trial after defendants said they could not get representation because of cuts to legal aid.
Sir Brian Leveson, Lord Justice Davis and Lord Justice Treacy reversed the ruling made on May 1 at London's Southwark Crown Court after t he Prime Minister's brother, Alexander Cameron QC, successfully argued that the case should be halted because controversial Ministry of Justice (MoJ) reforms meant the five defendants could not find barristers of "sufficient competence".
The trial, which involves the alleged mis-selling of land to members of the public, is a so-called very high cost case (VHCC). The Government has cut fees for such long and complex cases by 30% for barristers and solicitors.
Announcing the appeal court's decision today, Sir Brian said it was " of fundamental importance that the MoJ led by the Lord Chancellor and the professions continue to try to resolve the impasse that presently stands in the way of the delivery of justice in the most complex of cases: this will require effort by both sides".
He added: "The maintenance of a criminal justice system of which we can be proud depends on a sensible resolution of the issues that have arisen."
The three judges allowed an appeal brought by C ity watchdog the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) against the decision of Judge Anthony Leonard to stay the trial, and ordered that the "proceedings on this indictment be resumed in the Crown Court at Southwark".
Sir Brian said: " We have reached the clear conclusion that this ruling does involve errors of law or principle and, in any event, was not reasonable in the sense that a number of the conclusions reached were not reasonably open to him based on the evidence and, in any event, his ultimate finding did not constitute a reasonable exercise of the discretion open to him."
After the ruling, the FCA welcomed the decision and said in a statement: " The FCA is committed to pursuing criminal action in appropriate cases and is pleased that this case can now proceed towards trial."
If the appeal had failed, the defendants - Scott Crawley, Dale Walker, Daniel Forsyth, Aaron Petrou and Brendan Daley, who are charged with conspiracy to defraud - would have been acquitted.
Sir Brian said: "We are not saying that there could not come a time when it may be appropriate to order that this indictment be stayed: that time, however, remains very much in the future and problems about representation will have to have developed considerably before such an exceptional order could be justified.
"It would be a matter for the judge to assess on the basis of how matters stand at that point in time."
He commented: "During the course of the hearing, we made it clear that the dispute between the Bar and the Lord Chancellor about the appropriate level of remuneration for VHCCs was not one in which we could (or should) become involved.
"It involves a commercial negotiation in which (short of legal challenge) the judiciary can play no part. In any event, it is not before the court and we have received neither evidence nor submissions from any of the protagonists.
"That is not to say, however, that we are unmindful of, or unconcerned about, the issues and the underlying impact of the dispute."
Sir Brian said: "The criminal justice system in this country requires the highest quality advocates both to prosecute and to defend those accused of crime: in addition, they are the potential judges of the future.
"The better the advocates, the easier it is to concentrate on the real issues in the case, the more expeditious the hearing and the better the prospect of true verdicts according to the evidence.
"Poor quality advocates fail to take points of potential significance, or take them badly, leading to confusion and, in turn, appeals and, even more serious, leading to potential miscarriages of justice.
"We have no doubt that it is critical that there remains a thriving cadre of advocates capable of undertaking all types of publicly-funded work, developing their skills from the straightforward work until they are able to undertake the most complex."
At the Crown Court, Judge Leonard said adjourning the case to next January, as requested by the prosecution, would clog up the courts.
He said he had no reason to think the defendants would be able to find suitably-qualified barristers to represent them if the case was adjourned, given the long-running dispute over legal aid cuts.
Judge Leonard said he was "compelled to conclude that, to allow the state an adjournment to put right its failure to provide the necessary resources to permit a fair trial to take place, now amounts to a violation of the process of this court".
But Sir Brian said in the court's written judgment that the responsibility of the Lord Chancellor to provide resources to permit a fair trial to take place "arises irrespective of the cause of a problem in so doing".
He added: "It would remain if the present unwillingness of the Bar arose not because of his decision to reduce fees but if, say, the Bar had decided to decline VHCC work unless he increased the fees by 30%.
"Without commenting in any way on the merits of the dispute as to fees or as to the very necessary requirement for its resolution, to conclude that the State has violated the process of the court or that what has happened jeopardises the integrity of the criminal justice system (as opposed to its effective operation) is, quite simply, wrong as a matter of principle.
"To that extent, the primary reason given by the judge for staying the prosecution is flawed."
He also said that Judge Leonard's finding that there was no realistic prospect of competent advocates with sufficient time to prepare being available in the foreseeable future "cannot be sustained; neither was it reasonable for him to reach it".
An MoJ spokeswoman said: " We welcome today's judgment. Legal aid remains available for all very high cost cases and even after the savings a QC working on a VHCC like this could expect to receive around £100,000.
"We have one of the most expensive legal aid systems in the world and we have to address this.
"We are entirely supportive of the self-employed Bar and have made strenuous efforts to secure their continuing co-operation, including changing our original proposals and introducing support measures where possible.
"It remains open to barristers to take up these cases."

We're closing out the year with a gallery of the 30 best moments from the 2013 regular season. These are either standout plays, hilarious screwups or really anything that made us smile in the regular season. Wide-ranging criteria, to be sure. I didn't bother to rank them because I'm lazy and there would be endless disagreement. No one wants to fight on New Year's. Let's just be happy and drunk.
Pretty ideal way to celebrate a pick-six.
Sean Payton got really into the CrossFit in the past year. That inspired Jon Gruden to terrify Mike Tirico by doing kettlebell exercises in the booth. It made no sense, involved scattered energy and was potentially destructive, making it the perfect Gruden thing.
Thank goodness the Jags ended up winning a few games this year. Not sure their mascot would have survived any money weekly masochistic stunts while they were still winless.
Truly the most memorable catchphrase of the season, thanks to Steve Smith shittalking Aqib Talib. I'm sure it will be overused by this time next year, but for now "Ice Up, Son" is still great.
It's easy to forget in the wake of recent events that the Browns had a fleeting glimmer of hope at one point this season. They were actually in first place in their division for a few days. That was enough to get Jimmy Haslam cackling like a mad man. You would be too if you did something to land in prison but instead got to own a football team.
2013 also saw great leaps forward to tackling innovation.
And yet the Bengals still never manage to use him enough.
Brandon Mebane, sharing the gift of his bounteous gut with the world.
Let's hope Jason Tarver stays with Oakland. Based on this alone, he certainly belongs.
Perhaps the most bizarrely robotic thing on an NFL broadcast: when CBS decided the nation needed a demonstration on ball carrying style by Phil Simms in the middle of a game.
A worthy followup to the timeless classic. Wonder where Geno inspiration to make a sequel?
Oh right.
With such impressive synchronized anguish, you wonder why this team wasn't better this year.

The game audio picks up Brady screaming NOOOOOO when a pass rusher breaks free at him. It's not a reaction I couldn't see myself having, yet it's still hilarious it's Brady.
Oh wait, Tom Brady pretending like he was even going to tackle someone was even better.
You could have an entertaining gallery of just Jim Harbaugh shitfits. I like that the playsheet is able to suppress this one.
If this were any team but the Cardinals, this would produce conspiracy theories about the refs helping them win.
A banner year for Stafford doop face, but that there are any bad years for it.
Please, only RGIII gets helped up by opponents.
Cheerleaders: not just for ogling anymore. You can also mock them!
It's been a tumultuous year for Tom Brady high fives. At one point, no one wanted to five him, possibly because he's spent the whole season screaming at his receivers. Then Brady got fives after making silly faces. Then all of a sudden, no one wanted to five Brady again.
Andy Reid getting a big red jacket was really a great development for Andy Reid jokes.
Rob Ryan usually ain't sweating a lot in life, but losing a lead in the last minute to the Patriots is enough to make him the saddest sack around.

Media and popular culture promote gender confusion. As Catholics, we know that God created us male and female for a reason: our bodies, psyches, and biochemistry differ because our vocations differ. Only by rediscovering our identity as either male or female can we discover the gift of our lives and the genuine happiness that comes from living according to either the masculine or the feminine mode of loving.
Sister Jane Dominic Laurel, O.P., is a member of the Saint Cecilia Congregation of Dominican Sisters of Nashville, Tennessee. She holds a Doctorate in Sacred Theology from the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas in Rome, Italy, and is an Assistant Professor of Theology at Aquinas College in Nashville. Sister has been active in her community's teaching apostolate for over fifteen years and assists with the theological formation of the newest members of her religious congregation. In addition to contributing articles to several Catholic journals and magazines, including L'Osservatore Romano, Sister has also appeared on EWTN, served as Spiritual Promoter for the Third Order Dominicans, and presented on topics related to theology, religious life, and marriage and family, speaking at various conferences, as well as to parenting groups, university students, religious women, priests, and seminarians. Among her audiences have been students of the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas, the North American College, Loyola Chicago, Vanderbilt University, Franciscan University of Steubenville, St. Mary's College, and the University of Notre Dame.

European leaders will discuss ways to continue the pressure on Russian president Vladimir Putin and ease the crisis in Ukraine, Downing Street has said.
The Prime Minister spoke to German chancellor Angela Merkel and European Council president Herman Van Rompuy ahead of a European Council summit this weekend.
Ukraine will be a key issue at the talks, which will also consider new appointments to the roles of council president and high representative, which is currently held by Baroness Ashton.
On the Ukraine crisis, a Downing Street spokeswoman said: "(Mr Cameron and Mrs Merkel) agreed that Saturday's European Council should address the ongoing situation in eastern Ukraine, including Russia's provocative actions.
"Both leaders agreed that there could be no military solution to the crisis and President Putin had to enter into negotiations in good faith to find a political solution.
"The Prime Minister also spoke to President Van Rompuy yesterday afternoon about the summit, including the appointment of the new council president and high representative and the situation in Ukraine, on which they agreed that the EU should continue to put pressure on President Putin to de-escalate the situation.
"They also agreed that leaders should address the situation in Iraq and Syria and how the EU can help to co-ordinate national responses, including efforts to tackle foreign fighters."
Following the calls, which took place yesterday, the spokeswoman added: "On the appointments, (Mr Cameron and Mrs Merkel) agreed that there are a number of credible candidates for both roles.
"The Prime Minister emphasised that it is important that the next council president is willing to work with Britain to address our concerns in the coming years."

The National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) offers cholesterol guidelines for men and women.
Cholesterol and Heart Disease
High levels of LDL cholesterol and/or low levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL, or "good") cholesterol, are major risk factors for heart attack and stroke, two of the most common causes of death in the US.
The good news is that most people can control major heart disease risk factors, including cholesterol levels, smoking, excessive weight, lack of exercise, high blood pressure , and type 2 diabetes .
Screening for lipid disorders like high cholesterol depends on your age and whether you have any risk factors for heart disease.
A Run-Down of the Guidelines
The guidelines propose different recommendations depending on a person's degree of risk of heart attack within the next ten years. This risk is determined by the presence of several risk factors, including history of heart attack or stroke, unstable or stable angina (chest pain), history of coronary artery procedures, evidence of clogged arteries (myocardial ischemia), diabetes, metabolic syndrome, high LDL cholesterol, low HDL cholesterol, high blood pressure, smoking, family history of heart disease, and age.
There are 3 major risk levels:
- High risk (over 20% chance of heart attack within ten years) including those with coronary heart disease (CHD) or those having a CHD risk equivalent—diabetes, peripheral arterial disease, abdominal aortic aneurysm, or carotid artery disease)
- Moderately high risk (10%-20% chance of heart attack within 10 years)
- Moderate risk (less than 10% chance of heart attack within 10 years, but still with 2 or more risk factors)
- Lower risk (a person with 1 or fewer risk factors)
NCEP's recommendations include:
- If equal to or above 100 mg/dL (2.6 mmol/L)
- Optional between 70-100 mg/dL (1.8-2.6 mmol/L) if very high risk
- If above 130 mg/dL (3.4 mmol/L)
- Optional between 100-129 mg/dL (2.6-3.3 mmol/L)
- If equal to or above 160 mg/dL (4.2 mmol/L)
- If equal to or above 190 mg/dL (4.9 mmol/L) after lifestyle changes
- Optional if 160-189 mg/dL (4.2-4.9 mmol/L) after lifestyle changes
The guidelines also state that drug treatment for high-risk patients must be aggressive enough to achieve at least a 30%-40% reduction in LDL levels. In addition to drug therapy, NCEP stresses the importance of initiating therapeutic lifestyle changes in high-risk persons—regardless of cholesterol level—since lifestyle changes can reduce cardiovascular risk in several ways besides lowering cholesterol.
Recommended Treatment
Lifestyle Therapy
NCEP recommends the following lifestyle changes:
- Eat a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol.
- Eat plenty of plant based foods to get the beneficial sterols and stanols that they contain.
- Increase soluble fiber in your diet with whole grains, vegetables, fruits, nuts, and seeds.
- Maintain a healthy weight
- Get regular physical activity
Diet and exercise remain the first-line treatment option for high cholesterol in those at low to moderate risk for heart disease. And, most certainly, they are measures of prevention that everyone should heed.
If you are concerned about your cholesterol levels and your risk for heart disease, talk to your doctor. There are steps that you can take to reduce the risk.
Drug Therapy
Statins are often prescribed for high cholesterol. They are designed to be used in combination with lifestyle therapy. Statins works by blocking an enzyme (HMG-CoA reductase) that helps the body make cholesterol. The benefit from these medicines may also come from their anti-inflammation properties.
Statin drugs have proven to be effective in reducing cholesterol levels. These medicines may also reduce the incidence of heart attack, stroke, and death.

THIRD THURSDAY UPDATE #18 ~ 11/17/2011November 17, 2011
November Greetings!
Work continues on the Terrace Level beneath the Hornets Nest resident dining room. Before the end of the semester Towers Complex students will be able to enter from lakeside, pass along a corridor lounge, and use the new stair tower or elevator to access West Lobby. Graduating seniors and students ending their study abroad experience here at ESU will be able to see another dramatic element of our renovation come on line. Carpet for the lower level is being installed this week.
Please Note: Tomorrow (Friday) at 2 p.m. a tempered glass canopy will be installed over the east atrium entrance. The entrance will be closed to the public for around an hour. Next Monday tile work will affect the east end of the construction passage through Main Street. I expect this passage to remain open but narrower as tile is set.
Week #70
The top floor of the 1925 original building is nearing completion for Student Publications and the ASG Senate use next semester. Painting is in progress. Fire suppression is in place. Plumbing fixtures are going in and water will be available to this level very soon.
Demolition is now 98% complete. Yet this November the eleven new windows cut in the west side of the Union overlooking Union Square will be glazed. Electrical and mechanical systems are being roughed in on the west side, second floor. The KSTC Colonial Ballroom is beginning to transform with connectivity to adjacent meeting spaces through future French doors.
The first floor Main Street and Center for Student Involvement office suite are on schedule for a second semester opening. Concrete was poured Tuesday for the ADA ramp connecting the flat floor with the mezzanine. The student and staff offices will receive drywall very soon.
Dining Concepts
The new Hornets Nest and production kitchen layout will enable innovation. Chef Johnny is planning surprises and special offerings in the near future. You may follow ESU Dining on Facebook. Additional mosaic tile has been received to complete the finish of the pizza oven.
The Memorial Union is in its 17th month of renovation. In all that time no injury or accident has occurred on our project. Ferrell Construction of Topeka continues its outstanding safety record as general contractor on our project. For this we are thankful.
Enjoy family and friends this Thanksgiving. Go Hornets!
