So I rode down to the symposium with my buddy Carey Bringle, who is an amputee. How did he lose his leg? Depending on which night you ask Carey, you'll get one of the following answers:
1) He got his leg cut off with a pocket knife in a bar fight at Joe's Village Inn
2) He was swimming his daily laps in the Mississippi river when a wandering Bull Shark from the Gulf bit his leg off. Carey killed the shark with his bare hands and wrestled his leg out of its stomach, but the the doctors at Baptist Hospital in Memphis were not savvy enough to re-attach his femur bone.
3) One of the Ford brothers shot him in his thigh when Carey was running for Shelby County Commissioner.
Why mention that Carey is an amputee? Because riding with someone who's got one of those big-ass blue handicap signs hanging from their rear view mirror is like manna from heaven! I've never been able to just pull up and park right in front of the front door. It literally took me a couple days to get accustomed to it. It was awesome! Anytime I'm going anywhere and his ass is going, you better bank on it he's driving!
On the way though I wanted to take him through Henderson to eat at 1-2 whole hog BBQ joints. The two places I used to cook at, and learned the art, have since closed. One was Thomas & Webb. I credit Mr. Harold Thomas for really teaching me what I know today.
He closed down and a place called "Bill's BBQ" is in its place. They cook with an electric cooker, which Im not going to get started on right here but will say two things; that ain't real BBQ and a man deserves a good ole' country ass-whooping for calling it bbq if its cooked on one of those electric cookers. Makes me sick. At any rate, we only had time for one, so I took him to Siler's Ol' Time BBQ. The pic is of Chris Siler, who is a great guy, and the damn near one pound pork sandwich I had. See that light colored chunk hanging out right there, thats the middlin' meat.......folks thats as good as it gets!

I think I peed a little when I read Number 3.
Having been born and raised in Henderson, and knowing Mr Harold Thomas my whole life, let me tell you, that man could cook some que. Without a doubt, if you ever happen to be in the area of Henderson, stop in at one of the few remaining whole hog joints there and try it out...it will change your life.
Until Pat came along and opened up in Nolensville, there was nothing even close here in the Nashville area. I'm still waiting on Pat to open up a whole hog joint one of these days. I'll be first in line.
