Anyway, that's how come Sunday afternoon after attending a local L.D.S. church, we found ourselves in the highly unusual situation of being in a restaurant--
Jim 'n Nick's BBQ
--with a BUNCH o' Baptists. I would even go so far as to say there was a plethora of Baptists! We were surrounded and got to hear re-caps of some of the sermons! (Alabama has Baptist churches like Utah has Mormon churches! i.e. LOTS of them!)
We chose this particular restaurant because;
a) it said "Southern Kitchen" on the sign above the name and I figured since we're in the South we should experience some southern cooking, and
b) because the parking lot was FULL! Which is always a good sign especially when you're on a street with 50 other different dining options. Which we were.
So accommodating, that when Doug asked the server about "the BBQ pit" in the back, he (the server) arranged with the manager for us to have a tour. A very nice chef met us in the back and showed us around.
This thing is a ginormous rotisserie: (This one had chicken on it. The other one had pork and beef on it.)
It was a really neat tour! I guess there is such a thing as Southern Hospitality after all!
Oh, and thanks for hangin' with us, Baptist's! It wouldn't have been the same without you!

Your post about having boys cracked me up! My son also has the chomp shirt that all your boys are in!
shame, shame, everybody knows your name! And hey, what is that stuff next to the onion rings?!?
That's my Pulled Pork BBQ Sandwich. It has pickles on it in the picture, but they were SWIFTLY removed and disposed of.
Yummy! I have never been to Alabama, or experienced anything Southern.
If you were any kind of good SIL you would send me a doggy bag!
No real dogs though! Even though that has become a source of discussion on my blog!
And I went back last night and it was good. Plus, Bobbi the petite little server kept calling me sweetie!!!!
