My boss came back from lunch on Friday and said “We’re going to eat ribs next Thursday.” I asked where, and he gave me his speech about not asking too many questions. I’m usually not one to go blindly into a restaurant referral, but I’ve known Floyd for more than 4 years now, and he’s not let me down once with a dining suggestion.

Today he told me we couldn’t wait until Thursday, so we drove over to Shombe’s for lunch. They used to do only desserts and sandwiches, but recently the guy started doing ribs and chicken. I’ve got to give the man credit - he knows how to cook ribs. The meat flavor was amazing. The BBQ sauce on them was spectacular. And I’m not usually the type of person who enjoys ribs.

Then we got some chicken to sample. Wow. I got part of a thigh (and I’m not a huge fan of dark meat chicken), and it was full of flavor like no BBQ chicken I’ve ever had. I put some of that sweet, spicy sauce on it. Wow.

Then Floyd and I split a slice of pecan pie. Oh, man. And I hear the banana pudding and the peach cobbler is even better.

So throw the diet out the window for a day and head on over to Shombe’s. He usually has the ribs Thursday through Saturday. I might have to go back on Thursday. Yeah, it was that good.
