Two for the Road

I brake for barbecue.

A A A Comments By Jason Sheehan Thursday, Oct 6 2005

...continued from page 2

I didn't appreciate the kitchen's choice of bread -- in this case, a seeded hamburger bun. A plain bun -- preferably left to sweat in its grocery-store plastic bag for a few hours until it became sponge-like and squashed -- would have been fine. Plain white bread would have been even finer. But a seeded bun? No way. It's little things like this that drive me nuts -- tiny missteps, minuscule failings on the drive toward that idyllic sandwich of my dreams.

Chapter One was good, but not perfect. Although I'll certainly return -- how could I not go back to such a friendly barbecue shack with good ribs, situated just a hundred feet from a porn store? -- my quest for the ultimate sandwich will continue. I have faith that there's something even better out there.
