    • Potato Salad: Regular: Pickles, dill, mayo, mustard. OK composition.

    • Beans: Pintos: Remarkably firm for end-of-day. Bland.

    • Sausage: Best on tour. Chunky, but firm. Good casing – not too tough, but distinct from meat. Coarse grind.

    • Atmosphere: Large pecan pile – huge cuts. Cooking on towed pits. Tiny walk-up counter, with picnic tables in cage on side. Butcher paper service. Dead animal head within 10′

    • Spare Rib: Good bark and flavor. Tiny bit chewey. Must be pulled from bone – leaving hangers.

    • Sauce: Tomatoey – flavorfull, but mild. Simple and good.

    • Brisket: Could be best of the 2002 tour. Crosscut, tender. Melts away. Firm and fatty at the same time. Wonderful.

    • Potato Salad: German. Soft taters with butter and vinegar.

    • Dessert: Free dessert!. Brownie was awesome. Thin, soft, melts. Coconut cream pie was good, too. Score based on the brownie.
