Lonnie's BBQ (part two to the Drive to Kansas day)

We walked in, and saw a lot of cool features. On one wall, was a guitar and a guys hands and arms. On another was Kansas The band) in cool letters, with John Brown the Abolitionist on it. It was all really cool, and at the other side of the restaurant was a place where they handed you the food. A lot of chairs and tables were all around, and a wall came onto a walkway that came into where they served you. It was altogether a cool place.

We got into the line, and a stout medium height man with a kind of bald hair that had strands of hair sticking up walked out with a pan of something. He put it down, and said it was "cheese taters." He took our orders, and we all got BBQ and baked beans and the cheese taters, anxious to try them. He gave me a sample of his turkey, and oh was it good! We then started to sit down, but before I did a young guy with black hair, tall, and a striped winter hat on started a conversation with me, asking me if I liked to read and it was good I was reading about Roosevelt.(I had that book in my hand.) He said we needed more kids like that in the world. It was an interesting comment. I shook hands with the nice guy, and found out his name was Alec. He had a friend and co-worker named Jeff. He was nice too.

We sat down, and it was some of the greatest food I've tasted, and the best BBQ. It was fresh and good, with a great flavor. The cheese taters were wonderful, cheesy, and mouth watering. I liked the baked beans, and the turkey was really good too, with a good sauce. Then Lonnie(the stout guy) asked where the best BBQ we had was. Earlier, he had asked it too, and Dad had said some place by the airport in Atlanta. Now Dad (and I) answered here! It was that good! And I'm not just saying that!

Lonnie let us try his breathtaking ribs, and it was really good. After that, we got to talking to Lonnie, and found out he had another shop for 10 years, before buying this one. He talked about how he had painted some of the stuff in the restaurant, and how he had gotten cool guitars and such from a rock star. It was really cool. He had bought it from the guy who owned the R.V. Park, and had done all the designs and stuff. He went away from the ten year one because he wanted something to call his own. He had a cool personality, and was funny too.

Lonnie was a great and fun guy, and we had a good time listening and talking to him... and eating his food! It really was the best BBQ meal I've EVER had. No joke.

The end did come, and we got get to go's after a perfect meal. We left, and got his address and phone number. I believe we are giving him the blog address.

We, being full, went to sleep very well, after seeing a football game. It was a great ending to a great day.

I'll get you my pretty! And you're little dog too!,

Andrew.
