Let me recommend you also post on www.chowhound.com on the appropriate
regional boards for recommendations. I've been given some great
recommendations during my travels.

Dave,
It's great to hear from you again. I'm sure the hard work
getting your life re-organized and your business started will
pay huge dividends.

Good luck, and keep us posted...

Seein' as I'm new and all, I guess my response should be "Glad to meet you".
Hope your BBQ joint goes well. I have that same desire for one 'o' these
days. (maybe you could produce a how-to book as you go along)
Have FUN!

Dave,

What a great and pleasant surprise. And your mention of Hound reminds me
how long it's been since we've had some really good news around here.

It's good to hear that you're doing so well. Also glad to hear that the Q
joint is on track. Can't commit to the opening, but if I'm anywhere in the
neighborhood... (I was saying to an old friend that it's been too long
since I've visited him in Missoula. Hell, once I've driven the 1200 miles
to get there, I only need to go about 20 more and it's downhill to
Wenatchee. <g> )

Take care,

Dave, I'll be gone from 2/14 - 2/22, but otherwise if you need a decent

house. Ormond Beach is next door to Daytona Beach.

None that I'd recommend driving out of the way for in Orlando, but if you happen
to be passing through, I'll treat at "Bubbalou's Bodacious BBQ"
If you go anywhere near Titusville, there's a great seafood restaurant, but
since you are from the Pacific Northwest, you'd most likely be underwhelmed.

Big Jim has moved. It's about 20 miles from the old place. In MacIntosh, I
think.
Hopefully he'll check in before you leave.

Thanks for your offer of hospitality, Jack. It would be fun to see you. I'll
only be spending a day in Florida, though. Hopefully, we can get together in

Let's plan on getting together the next time your over here. The numbers are
valid, so give me a holler when you know you'll be back by.

Welcome back, Dave! :-)

You will no doubt be making central Texas one of your stops. I
*insist* that you stop by John Muellers in Austin for brisket.


I'm sure Frank (and anybody else in Austin who's eaten there) will
back me up on this. The Muellers are one of the families in the
"Central Texas BBQ Dynasties" - they've been BBQing for quite a
while, though John's joint is relatively new (2001).

The vertical pits are something to take note of as well. The
crust on the brisket is coarsely ground: pepper-garlic-salt,
somewhat unique in its rustic style. Everybody gets a free sample
as you step up to order. It very well-executed.

There will be other places surrounding Austin on your list, too.
Drop me a line ) when you plan on
stopping by and I can probably meet you there, or nearby, for a
12pm lunch (because they're not open for dinner, and they might be
out by 1:00pm).

I'll do my best, although I won't have access to e-mail whilst on the road,
and at this point I don't have a firm itinerary. If you feel like it, send
me your phone # via email.

I'll be pert near that way... where's their best store located? Send me your

Maybe he could join us. Heck, it'd be funn getting together for an hour or

I like all the stores equally. It really depends on which part of town you are
in.

Jack's in Ormond Beach. South of Daytona. Maybe he'll see this and respond,

Dave,

"Welcome back" seems insufficient.....

I still owe you a much-delayed care package (when I see you I'll fill
you in on all of the wonderful excuses I have for not sending it
sooner...)

Email me offline if you are still interested in input we previously
discussed....also I really need to make a trip up Washington way this
spring so let me know what good dates for visitors would be and me and
my pal will (a native Seatllean) will drive up with buckets of sauce
and play you some some reasonably mean blues in exchange for being
taste testers for your 'Que.

Yes. I went through a situation somewhat similar to yours several years ago.

Dave-

Welcome back! As has already been said we're glad to have you return.
It's tough but, when your health or that of your family is on the line
it is wise to tend to those things first.
Best of luck with the Q' biz. We are all waiting (with appetites!) for
pre-opening!

Blues and 'Q.... hmmmm.... somewhere I've heard that the two kinda
compliment each other <BIG GRIN>. Sounds like a perfect trade to me!!! When
I get back, I'll email you the kitchen plan and we can go from there. It'll
be nice to have you help me avoid some equipment and prep station layout
