Coach May

He told me privately that he never checks his pm box.

Exactly, like PG.

Hey Coach, any suggestions for a nice comfortable hotel in Greenwood?

Hey Buddy. Just down the street from the new stadium there is a Holiday Inn Express and its very nice. And one of the nice things about Greenwood is that things are very reasonably priced. Also there are some very good places to eat as well.

Booked it

Floridafan, if you're going to be there on a weekend, drive out Highway 72 almost to Abbeville and eat at Yoder's. Its a Mennonite family style place. If you want good home cooking you can't beat it.

If you have some spare time on a Saturday night in Greenwood take a little road trip over to Wise's BBQ on Hwy 76 between Joanna and Newberry. Just a little old block building by the side of the road, but great food. It's mustard based, but not the sweet kind. Pulled pork, BBQ chicken, hash, and skins, if you eat those. ;-)

who wouldnt eat the hash and the skins???

Wise Bar-B-Q House
25557 US Highway 76
Newberry, SC 29108
(803) 276-6699

That's it. IF you go there at night there's a little yellow sign about 12-15 ft. off the ground that glows like a little beacon. You can barely see it in the picture.

I've also heard great things about Yoders. Gotta get over that way one day.

I LOVE Wises! Haven't been there in probably 15 years. I'm glad to know it's still around. Well worth the trip.

2B's dad's family lives in Clinton SC, and we used to go to Wise's all the time back in the day. Yum yum, yum, love that mustard based sauce! Have some of that hash with a side of Texas Pete! And don't forget the sweet tea! I believe 2B has had breakfast at Yoder's too.

What are skins? (i guess you know i'm not from the south now don't ya?)

Fried pork skins.
These are fresh - not like those you get from a bag at the grocery store.

.

Greasy?



.

Well, it's been a while, but from what I can remember, they were crispy and deee-licious! Just have a little more oomph to them than the store-bought kind.

.

That's good to know 2bmom. I'm always looking for more oomph!



.

Aren't we all.

.

Reminds me of a song...

Well now oomph in the morning, oomph in the evening, oomph at suppertime.
Send me a lil' oomph and send it all the time!

These gals sing it better than I do.

Where's the nearest Whole Foods?

So, we are talking about eating pork skin? Shouldn't Aaron Rogers be throwing that or handing it off?

I think it's a requirement that every thread about baseball schools in the Carolinas turns into a discussion of good barbecue. And I have no problem with that.

Surprised nobody asked about hash. Or as it is made in some parts of the PeeDee of S.C., liver hash. Nasty stuff, but it'll open up your sinuses.

When I first learned that Coach May's son was going to a SC school, I thought o m g, the poor thing will have to eat mustard based bbq! (just kidding, ... sorta!)

I have to admit never cultivating a taste for pork rinds. (sound better than skins I guess) My brother would take a paper bag, with grease splotches all over and sprinkle hot sauce in it, shake it up and have a enjoy a mini-feast. He's alive and well at 45.

MTH - there is a product called liver mush in the west and liver pudding in the east (North Carolina). Probably much the same. Mush was featured in one of Andrew Zimmeran's TV Network Show, Bizarre Foods.

yuck

Yeah, my father in law is 80 and still eats that stuff and stuff like hogs head cheese. But he looks 50, so maybe that's his secret. I agree, that stuff would gag a maggot.

I generally prefer vinegar and pepper BBQ as well, but there ain't none of that worth eating in Upstate SC, unless I make it myself. Wises is truly great mustard Q.

If you guys want to learn something about BBQ, come on over to Memphis!

.

Ah yes...Memphis barbecue.

Rub-a-dub-dub,
three slabs with dry rub.

And how do you think they got there?

The butcher, the coal raker,
the lil' order-taker.
They all jumped up with a dry rub rib.

'Twas enough to make a man drool!

.

I can remember eating vinegar and pepper BBQ when I was a kid. Good stuff. As hash goes, I don't know what's in Wise's, but I did indeed eat it with rice and hot sauce! And good it was.

You can keep the liver mush and head cheese. Bleck.

I would love to try some Memphis BBQ!

I'm hungry...

.

Thinking of these...






Does this to my mouth...
