Parabellum (VirtualGlobetrotting)
By: Parabellum.
The chopped barbecue is chopped to a medium consistency with outside brown meat mixed in with the regular meat. The blend produces a tender offering with a good smoky taste. The outside brown kicks in to add even more flavor. The chopped barbecue is slightly moist and is delicious without sauce. With Richard’s secret sauce added, it is the stuff fit for kings.

Walk right in and elbow your way into the throng at the counter just inside the front door. A waitress, dressed in all white except for her very red apron, will promptly take your order for a "Jumbo Chopped with Barbecue Slaw". Step back and stand along the wall for the brief wait until your order arrives. If you are "eating in" the tables are to either side of the counter.
