Follow the 18-wheelers to the New Jersey Turnpike's Vince Lombardi Service Area and Dickey's Barbecue Pit Express for Texas-style brisket, fried okra and peach cobbler.

The great thing about barbeque is that when you get hungry 3 hours later....you can lick your fingers

Avoid cutting yourself while slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold them while you chop away.

Its a joke. Nothing to see here. Move along.

When I was a kid in Texas, Dickie's was actually a great barbecue place. Then they got the great idea to franchise and stamp out a bunch of third rate drive-thru places. Very sad.

Jason, have you ever actually sampled the stuff? (maybe he's been there without me) I know a few times, we've stopped at that rest stop (hint: they are usually a few days behind in raising gas prices) specifically to try Dickey's BBQ, they have been closed every time. So, are they permanently closed, or do they just have shorter hours than the Burger King?

Anyway, if you are really craving BBQ, Cubby's in Hackensack isn't that far from there. I would have sent you to Fink's or Stickey's but :sniff: you know the story.

I've been, not worth a mention.

I'm a NYC expat. Since coming to the darkside, as many of my freinds have said, I've found that most good things in NYC are made in NJ.
