When our son Benjamin first moved to Dallas a few months back, he looked up the closest and highest rated BBQ and found Ferris Wheelers' BBQ and backyard. The backyard is big, maybe like yours, but unlike yours, it contains a ferris wheel. Hence the name of the joint. (Next door is Goat Rodeo, which serves burgers, and has a large fake goat with a saddle on it, perched on the roof. Hence the name of that joint. Are you sensing a pattern here?)
Masks are now optional in the great state of Texas and we sat at our picnic table "in the backyard" with a lot of other maskless hungry folk, enjoying this little bit of normalcy of interacting without masks. (Not to worry, the Chesslers are now vaccinated.)
Our waitress wore a t-shirt that said "If we don't have it, you don't need it" and greeted us with a "how y'all doing" while country music played loudly around us, accompanied by the loud chirps of Texas birds. (Benjamin assured us, the birds are LOUD in Texas). We ordered up fried pickles for an appetizer and hyrdated with local beers. Then I had some brisket that was like buttah. The flimsy plastic knife they gave me cut right through that brisket, like buttah. For dessert, Steven had banana pudding. Also the best. So check it out when in Dallas, Ferris Wheelers. Maybe the ferris wheel will be running when you visit.
