After floating the river for a few hours we were starving. My aunt suggested going to The Salt Lick, and it worked out great because Chris has lived here over three years and we still hadn't made it out there. Also, we were already out that way so we went to the Driftwood location. The boy loves BBQ. But, BBQ is different in Tennessee that it is in Texas. There, you can get pulled pork just about anywhere (that's his favorite), but here it's much harder to find. Beef rules in Texas.
Well he got lucky because we happened to go on a Sunday, and guess what was on the menu just especially for that day? A big fat pulled pork sandwich. He was nearly dancing on the table. Seriously, ask one of the other seven people that were with us.
This is his, "I can't believe I am here and about to get this awesomely delicious pulled pork sandwich!" face.
The sandwich took up over half of the plate. You can't even see the cole slaw, beans, or potato salad that he also devoured.
I'm not even sure he realized I was snapping pictures. But this...this is what got me excited...
Pickles. Yum. Chris ate the onions. Yuck.
Chris also ate half of my plate. Sausage and brisket included.
Oh, and he tried some of Mason's baby back ribs. I think he may have eaten something off of nearly everyone's plate. He had to try it all!
At this point, we are all wondering if he has a hollow leg or something. I hadn't seen him eat this much in years. I'm not exaggerating. But then he stopped. And I thanked God because I had to ride home with him and his onion breath.
But oh no, he didn't stop because he was finished. Nope, he had another trick up his sleeve.
His most favorite dessert ever. He and Megan shared this massive slice of warm pecan pie.
He may or may not have been shoveling it in eating it with his hands. The look on my aunt's face says it all. We just couldn't figure out where he was putting all of this food. And then it was gone.
Countdown to our next vacation- 9 days.
*Where Chris is bound to gross me out by eating some sort of critter that lives in the ocean.*
