got to Pecan Lodge today at about 9:45, there were already about 50 ppl in line for the 11 opening so my wife grabbed a place in line and I went looking for Lurlene, found her
by the time 11 rolled around, the line was all the way out the other door of shed #2
it appears that Pecan Lodge has a new rule in place, if you order more than 5# of meat, you get to go to the express line and skip the masses, this bit me in the ass as my goal for the day was beef ribs, they were sold out by 11:20 and my order was placed at 11:30
anyways, the hot mess, was very good; sweet potato, chopped brisket, sour cream
the burnt ends were ginormous, about 2" cubes and although they were pretty good, too much sauce for my liking; could not find anything wrong with the mac w/ crumbled bacon
beef, jalapeno and cheddar sausage; left me wanting and thinking should have stuck with their regular sausage
pork ribs, looked great with great flavor but a little dry; collards were probably the best I've had
and finally the brisket, moist, tender and good flavor although I could have used a tad more smoke on mine; pinto beans were pinto beans although they had just the right amount of heat to them to make them interesting
overall, pretty good
would I wait in a line for 1:45 again to eat there, no, but if I'm to lazy to fire up my rig and need some Q for a party I will be taking advantage of the express line
