The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.

A Brief History of Barbecue-- Part 5: Hush Puppies a Unifier

1953--  Warner Stamey opens his first restaurant in Greensboro.  He begins serving hush puppies, which are perhaps the only olive-branch between the supporters of Eastern-style 'cue and Lexington-style 'cue.

1958--  Lay's barbecue flavored potato chips are developed.  Their generic barbecue flavor is probably more appealing in states where barbecue sauce tastes more like gym socks.

1982--  Reidsville restaurant Short Sugar's is declared the winner of NC/SC Barbecue Bowl, forever settling the debate:  North Carolina certifiably has better barbecue.

And, I Would Be Willing to bet there Are Some South Carolinians Who Just Might Not Agree With the Last Statement.  --RoadDog
