Pappy's

I took a return trip to Pappy's today and introduced Steve to this terrific restaurant.

No recession here - they point you to the back door and the line runs about 15 minutes for lunch. We both had the brisket which was a little tougher than I remember but a ton of smokiness and the Original sauce on the table gave the meal the sneaky heat that made the wait worthwhile.

With luck, we'll get to Dee's Best Q4U and play these two off in the continuing battle for best BBQ in St. Louis next week.
