Good BBQ Mount Vernon, Texas
I had dinner at the Texas Bar-B-Que Corral. Very good place. I got a load out of Sikeston, MO yesterday. It delivered to Clarksville TX this morning. I came the 35 miles south to I-30 here in Mount Vernon Texas this afternoon. I'm in between Dallas and Texarcana closer to Texarcana. This will be a good test of my new carrier. It has been slow and this can be a tough freight area for us expediters. I hope they find me something soon I will have to drive a long way to get to a better freight area. Oh well maybe tomorrow.
Following are a few pics of my trip and eating yesterday. Who's getting my 20 dollars, because I've no chance of winning my familys biggest loser contest.
Cotton Field I-55 Near Missouri-Arkansas Line
The rectangular boxes you see to the left and behind the shed are bails of harvested cotton
Cotton Picking Time
I saw lots of Cotton fields in Southern Missouri and into Arkansas. These bails are really big probably could fit 2 in a 53ft semi trailer.
Lambert's Cafe The home of throwed rolls
I saw a special on this place on the food network, Diners Drive Inns and Dives I think. You may wonder what they mean by throwed rolls. Well it is actually what it sounds like. They throw rolls at you! A guy goes around kind of yelling Rolls not overly loud but loud enough for everyone to hear. If you raise your hand he throws you one. My 1st one was a nice toss from 6 or 10 feet. Well I thought it would be funny to raise my hand when he was way across the dining area. Well he must be used to it cause he threw a fastball about 50 feet right on target. I caught it but it got kind of smashed. Then he threw another fastball I had to reach a little higher and I caught that one too. I didn't realize he was throwing to the booth behind me. So I was 2 for 2 with an interception. The food was really good with huge portions and my bill with a quart of iced tea was only 14.50. I didn't order a quart, you order a drink there and they bring you a quart. Another thing they do that is really neat is passerbys. What they do is they just walk up with more food in a big pot and ask you if you want some. They came around with fried zuchini, fried potatoes(they were awesome) macaroni and tomatoes(really good too) and white beans (didn't get those). Also if you want a passerby item they don't seem to hear you when you say a little. They give you way too much. All in all this was one of the best meals and the most fun. I've had at a restaurant in a long time, maybe ever.If you ever get near Sikeston Missouri on I-55 try them out!
I caught 3 rolls, well 2 catches and 1 interception
They are really good, as soon as you catch one they come around and offer sweet sorgham its like molasses. they dip it out of a can on a stick with a spool like you'd dip into honey.
I ordered the BBQ Pork Steak
The waiter said it looked small so they brought me two. They were very good but one was plenty big. Its hard to tell in the picture but that is a really big skillet 12-14 inches across I'd guess.
