Red Bridges BBQ
http://www.ncbbqsociety.com/trail.html
http://www.bridgesbbq.com/ Review of Red BRidges BBQ Lodge located in Shelby, NC. Wife and I decided to drive over to Shelby, NC for a movie and then dinner. I drive by Red's coming and going to work every day the last 4 months and made up my mind to try it out. They've been in business some 60+- years, it is diner? style and looks like it could be original but very clean and very well kept. The staff was gracious and very welcoming. The slaw is 'red' slaw and I know some cabbage can be spicy, this had some bites that tasted of horseradish. The waitress very attentive and cheerful. The hush puppies were obviously home made and large. They use wood coals to cook pork and that is actually the primary menu item with just a bbq chicken to round things out. You can see their menu on their web page. It really was like stepping back into the 1960's decor and very lodge decor, wood paneling. Their was only one problem not related to the business, the good ole white southern christians gave my Puerto Rican wife and my whitey ole self the very harsh look and we had to run the gauntlet of stares coming and going. There was a short counter with two black gentlemen and a black woman did arrive for take out. I guess it was the inter-racial scene that aroused the clientele. Anyway, the pork was great, served your choice of chopped or sliced, the coffee was smooth, I will give full stars for Que, and was thankful my tires weren't slashed. piedmont |

I'm a christian, and I have no problem with interracial relationships. I found the review interesting, but the comment unnecessarily provocative. -- Dave "A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.

It hardly rules out atheists, agnostics, apathetics or a buncha other religions, though. -- Dave "A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.

Huh? I don't recall looking for a fight. -- Dave "A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.
