Update on ribs
Oh, man, the barbecue place (Jimmy Jack’s Rib Shack) was good. I didn’t have ribs, but I had a very tasty barbecued beef and pork sandwich, plus beans and coleslaw and really great cornbread. It doesn’t have quite the soul of Al & Irene’s (and by this I mean that the only black people there were customers), and Denny missed the good natured harassment he suffers at the hands of the Al & Irene’s staff, but it’s much more convenient. In fact, Jimmy Jack’s is only about 5 minutes from our house–much easier than Cedar Rapids. It seems to be doing excellent business, which makes me happy because it’s locally owned.
They do take-out, too; it would be really handy to get a barbecued chicken or a rack of ribs on the way home from work. I hope they would include a little unit of their 4 Alarm sauce (though to be quite honest I would rate it around a 2.5 Alarm). It’s an excellent addition to the neighborhood.
And you should believe me because I’m kind of stuck-up about this kind of thing.
