Mission BBQ

Old Arkansawyer · Jun 21, 2019

Have not heard of mission BBQ, that being said, I usually try not to
eat at the chains. I try to find the little BBQ joints that all the locals
go and have to stand in line to get in, serving on wax paper or paper
plates, there are a few exceptions but most of the time not.
It has to be wood fired smoked, no electric cookers or no boiling the
meat before hand. If I can't see wood smoke or smell the place a block
away, forget about it. Call me a BBQ snob if you wish.

Some of my earliest memories are at Shorty's in So Dade. I haven't been there in better than 50 years but they opened one in Davie Fl and I was there all of the time until I moved up here. I love the place.

Mine too. We lived on SW 79th Ave., just a couple of miles from Shorty’s and my parents took us there at least a couple of times a month. I’d be afraid to go that far south anymore. The one you’re talking about in Davie on University and Stirling is the one I go to when I’m working in Ft. Lauderdale area.

Shorty's Davie locale is good. Great sweet tea.
Did a take out years ago, sauce was in a Styrofoam container.
Got it home, told my oldest it was chocolate pudding. He was maybe 5.
Took a big ol' spoonful...GAAA!
Been paying me back ever since. Serves me right.

Many moons ago, down in Mexico, a waitress sat a bowl of sauce in front of one of my associates.
He also thought it was soup.
Well it wasn't!
He took a spoon full and had a very strange reaction!
We kidded him about that for a long time!

I travel for my job almost every week. Monday through Friday. I rarely will eat at a chain restaurant unless it is a place that a customer suggest when I take them out
I enjoy eating with locals and have found some great places the only thing keeping me from doing a TV show about it is I do not own a Camaro convertible

Today I found myself working in Clarksville Tennessee. At lunchtime I looked for my options and found a mission barbecue! A head of me was a group of six military personnel, when each one received their food they also received a handshake from employees behind the counter. At exactly 12 o’clock Everyone was asked, and did, to stand for the national anthem the TV screens were turned to a picture of the US flag and the national anthem was played.

I also noticed the staff bringing out free dessert to the military personnel
I have eaten at maybe a dozen events that Mission had catered but I had never eaten at a mission restaurant

I would encourage anyone here to eat at a mission barbecue when they have the opportunity

Also never heard of it.
But if I’m back East, Yes!
I’ll try it.
