The Secret is in the Rub


In our effort to get away from homogenious chain cuisine, we have vowed to patronize local restaurants whenever possible on this trip. And of course the funkier the better. For lunch we visited Cochrans BBQ in Ringold, Georgia. In addition to the promised good ribs, this place sold gas and provided transportation professionals a place to pray in the truckers chapel. Naturally I had the Chef Salad. With a side of ribs! Tender and tasty. Even better with their signature yellow gold sauce generously applied.

Near the cash register, underneath heat lamps, were packaged racks of ribs for carry out. It was only then that I discovered the secret to the fabulous fare - its the rub, of course.
