garden to table

this weekend it was pretty, so i rode out highway 22 west from lexington all the way to the town of crawfordville. there i encountered heavy’s bar-b-que.  it’s been around at least 40 years. still serving the basics, slaw, stew, barb-b-que, and sweet potato pie.  there’s tons of atmosphere and years worth of calendars on the walls.  you can eat your lunch at long pine tables in a cozy room with a fireplace and walls lined with all kinds of taxidermy.  you can’t beat it for ambiance and good barb-b-que, too!
