Hey Boys Bbq

Ok, so now that I am living in Texas (since April) and having been a BBQ caterer for 15 years, I thoroughly enjoy a GOOD barbecue sandwich as much as every one else in Texas (or any where for that matter).

So today was my turn to choose were to eat lunch out as we (wife and I) were running some errands anyway. So of course, I choose BBQ.

So we went to this little, out of the way place called "Hey Boys" not far from home but out in the boonies situated on an old homestead (ranch). I have driven by this place numerous times over the last few years I have visited here so now I was finally going to get to try it.

So something I have recently decided to ask BEFORE ordering is "when was it smoked/cooked??"

Now this little place is only open Wed-Sat so closed Sun-Tues.

So I asked the little gal behind the counter when it was cooked and she looked at the other (older) gal in surprise to my question and they answered....TUESDAY...he ONLY cooks on TUESDAY!!!!

Talk about Surprised....I WAS!!!!

Here it is Friday (2 PM) and they are selling sandwiches that were cooked on TUESDAY???...AND at FULL PRICE!!

NO THANK YOU!!!

But I have to say that my WIFE ordered a chopped beef and a pulled pork for her mom all to take home (about 5 miles).

When we opened the wrapper of the sandwiches, the bottom bun (standard white bun) was SOGGYYYY. Matter of fact, was SOO soggy it could not even be picked up and this is WITHOUT sauce on it.

So this tells me that they STEAMED the meat to reheat it and more than likely added some liquid of some sort although no flavor was detected.

And speaking of flavor, there was NO SMOKE flavor what so ever, the meat (pork) not only being soggy, was flavorless. The beef was WAY too salty to the point that was about all one could taste. Which tells me that the more than likely rubbed it with just S&P.... heavily  

I guess (no, I WON'T) be going back there for food anytime soon...if ever.

Do any of you BBQ restaurant owners only cook ONCE A WEEK???
