Ok, I'll chime in and brag a little. Pappy's BBQ, rated number one by Zagat is in close proximity to our business. And in fact today, they came by unannounced and provided lunch, free, to all our employees. Turns out I had a lunch app't with another customer, but there was enough left over for me to bring home for the family.
We were one of their vendors when they first opened, and we got to know the owner. Since then they've catered our Christmas party and some birthdays we celebrate and they never charge us. In exchange, we try to offer them some of our services gratis, but they are far more generous to us than we are able to be to them. BTW, I had lunch at Sybergs which is known for their mustard based chicken wings. I love them http://www.huffingtonpost.com/zagat/best-barbecue-restaurants_b_935111.h\ tml#s340287&title=1_Pappys_Smokehouse <http://www.huffingtonpost.com/zagat/best-barbecue-restaurants_b_935111.\ html#s340287&title=1_Pappys_Smokehouse> --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, doctordumbass@... wrote: > > You definitely have more history with it than I do, though I enjoyed it a lot, all the same. > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Michael Jackson wrote: > > > > I know its each to his own when it comes to bar-be-que - I grew up with the mustard base sauces for pork and chicken - a place that still exists called Wise's Barbeque - established back in the 1930's - I never knew about tomato based sauces till I was probably a teenager - I liked that too, especially on beef and chicken, but I never could get a taste for that nasty vinegar based Eastern North Carolina stuff that is essentially vinegar, sugar of various kinds and peppers - nasty nasty stuff but lots of people swear by it - I just swear at it.

I like that bar-b-que beef sometimes, tho it doesn't go too well with the mustard based bar-b-que sauce that is traditional here. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > ________________________________ > > > From: turquoiseb > > > To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com > > > Sent: Wednesday, January 23, 2013 3:01 PM > > > Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: Speaking of puja > > > > > > > > > ÃÂ > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "Richard J.
