We drove to Lexington Saturday for football and City Barbeque. Saturday was planned as a great day of good food, tailgating and great football. Well, we ended up getting two out of three.
We started the day by going to City Barbeque. My wife had place the order on-line the night before. This is great tool to take advantage of as you check the menu, select what you want and tell them the pickup time.
When we arrived our order was packaged and ready except for the fries and pork barbecue. They wait until you arrive to place them in the bag to ensure they will be hot and fresh for you. We ordered the family pack which includes: pulled pork, buns, cornbread, and two pints of sides which is enough for four people.
Along with the pulled pork and cornbread, we ordered an extra side of slaw. With my grandson coming to tailgate with us, we also placed an order of Mac and Cheese and Chicken tenders.
The pulled pork was great. It is some of the best BBQ I have ever eaten. City Barbeque has different sauces to pick from, but the pulled pork can stand on its own without a sauce. The chicken tenders were also great. The meat was tender and juicy and the breading was perfection. The fries were hot and good, the slaw was sweet but not too sweet and added to the pulled porks’ flavor. The Mac and Cheese was good, real good.
We enjoyed our time eating and visiting, then we went to the game. It is always fun to go to Commonwealth Stadium to watch the Wildcats, but sometimes it’s more fun than others. This was not one of those times. Florida defeated the Cats in a close game 14-9, but we had great food and a nice visit.
