Big Easy Eats

The Shed BBQ, Ocean Springs MS

I can't believe it's been a year since we have journaled our culinary expeditions. This journey was totally worth it. The Shed is about an hour and a half drive from New Orleans (I10 East to Exit 57 in Mississippi). The atmosphere is every bit as "junky" as you hope it will be. That's because owners Brad and Brook went dumpster diving for all the furniture and decor. . . if I'm lyin' - I'm dyin'. There is a plethora of philosophical profundity scattered around the walls and ceiling too. The staff is bright and full of fun. The food was really excellent. I'm not a big BBQ fan, so when I rave about smoky grub it has to be lean, with a truly unique balance of sweet, spicy, and smoky. We rolled in with a party of four, and had smoked sausage, pulled pork, brisket, and baby back ribs. The array of sides included cole slaw, baked potato salad, baked beans, and macaroni salad. Your meal is served in a to-go box, but we didn't need ours - whew! With soft drinks the total for four was $73 including a good tip. Next time we'll go for the evening and take in the live tunes. Don't miss this treasure.

Death of a Rebel

renegade.jpgI have been an admitted "rebel" for as long as I can remember. Before I began to follow Jesus Christ I was a rebel. The launching of my identity as a true rebel was not directed toward my Mom, or "The Man", it was turning the pinnacle of high school social life into a… Continue

Thanks! The first time I went to Denver, I asked a local, "But where are all the people?" He laughed and said, "You must be near New York City." D has my fav blend of art, music, education, and nature close by. One of these days I'll head out that way, but not yet...
And PS-Jeremiah Johnson is an amazing movie.

Hey, 8er... thanks for the comment (I'm beginning to feel at home).

And it was certainly weird to pop up to your page & see Dave Foster's book there - Dave was one of my mentors during those crazy church planting years.
