Nancy's BBQ

Pulled Pork Sandwich
Brunswick Stew
Derby Pie--Pecan, Chocolate, Bourbon
Red Velvet Cupcake

Our Protagonist had been kicking himself for some time about letting the Panini Press close before ever darkening their door, so he promised himself to not let the same occurrence happen again with the new incarnation that he watched metamorphose before him, Nancy's BBQ.  At last the day arrived when they opened, and he was able to pull in some assistance to get a good bead on the lunch scene.  There are actually s surprising amount of selections on the menu, which caused Our Protagonist to hold up the line as he second, third, and fourth-guessed his choices.  The recommendation that "Pulled Pork built the house" sealed the deal, and he went with the sandwich.  For the price, the meal was an incredible deal; a sandwich, generously topped with pulled pork and two giant sides for $6.95.  As for the main ingredient, the pulled pork nice and tender, still juicy; something you might not appreciate until you're served lousy barbecue.  Brunswick stew, a new experience, was basically a vegetable-and-potato soup with meat.  This could easily have been a meal unto itself; and it could be, for $5.95 for a pint off the Sides Menu.  The Derby Pie was an excellent take on pecan, Kentucky-fied, as it were, with the bourbon, but the addition of chocolate also proved noteworthy.  The pie even developed a nice crisp outer shell on top which added to the entire texture-and-flavor profile.  The Red Velvet Cupcake?  Our Protagonist can't speak to that as he was told by his dining partner to "Get your own!"  Even the salads looked good, here.  And then there's that "Real Banana Pudding" calling Our Protagonist back; if it's served hot, he will definitely come a-runnin'.
