Would anybody in the Northeast be interested in Meeting at Big Ws Roadside BBQ in Wingdale, NY for lunch one of these Saturdays or Sundays? I can personally attest to the quality of the ribs there, and Court posted a photo of the Brisket, and it looks really good. Court discovered this place and shared it with me. Now I want to turn on the rest of BadWeB to a good thing. Plus, it's always a good time when the free range loonies from this asylum get together. The weather is supposed to be crappy this weekend, so how about next weekend - either the 29 or 30? It's not that far for any of us, really; so waddya think? | ||

The 30th is no good for me, but I'm available on the 29th (so far)... | ||
| Froggy |
30th is the Headless Horseman ride, which is not very far from there | ||

Intellicast is showing a forecast high of 64° and partly cloudy for Saturday 10/29. That works for me. Here's a link to their menu: http://www.theforkingpig.com/menu.html When I ate there, I got the ribs 4 one, and I have to say the portion was generous. Now, I'm intrigued by the picture Court took of the Brisket. What say you? | ||

I elect John as my proxy to consume brisket on my behalf. Consumption forms must be completed in triplicate within 24 hours and submitted to my secretary for subsequent review. | ||
| Crusty |
I'll tell you what; I'll consult my lawyer And if he advises me to do it, I'll get a new lawyer. I will eat the brisket, though. | ||

Crusty, your playing in my backyard dude but your so right about the looney comment. Wingdale was known for it's home for crazies...ever notice the (old)large institution just down the road? I'll be doing the HHR but maybe early Nov weather permitting. | ||
| Damnut |
I'm planning on going to the HHR as well that weekend. | ||
| Griffmeister |
The end point for the HHR has not been set in stone ( although it's been the same place for years ). Location is not that far apart, maybe there'll be a change this year if the demand is high. | ||
| Jaimec |
So? What's the story? Is this happening on the 29th? What time? | ||
| Crusty |
I'm not going to do the HHR. I'd have to leave my house at 5:30 AM to make it on time. At that hour, it's pretty chilly, and I've become a wuss when it comes to being cold. It's just about as far to Big Ws, but if we're going to meet up for lunch, I can leave after the sun is up and temperatures are on the rise. Now, I don't understand why people don't want to do both. The HHR is a ride around the area; what I'm talking about is just meeting up for Lunch. It's like what we've been doing to the various Dinosaur locations all along. I can sympathize with Jim not wanting to do both since he has to work until the wee hours, but, once again, it's a Lunch meet up, not a 9:00 AM start. And it's a chance to shoot the bull with other folks who are "Different in Every Sense" I'd say maybe this Sunday, but my brake rotors and pads won't be here until Monday, and the brakes are in rough shape. Or we could put it off a week and do it the 5th or 6th of November. Or, we could just accept that some folks just don't want to do both and have it on the 29th. When I went there last week, there were only two of us, and we had a good time. I'm just trying to share a new BBQ joint with other Badwebbers and get a chance to see old friends and meet some new friends. | ||

I can't meet up on Saturday because I have to be at work for 5pm. Sunday is my only day off that weekend. For the HHR ride, I'm leaving my house around 6am so I can try to make it to Perkins by 9:30. | ||

Years ago, I used to ride with a group of friends; but as the years have passed, we all went our separate ways. Now, I find that I prefer to ride alone, but I enjoy meeting with friends over a good (or even a mediocre) meal. Anyway, in the past, when I would plan a ride, my credo was, "At such a time, I'm going out for a ride. If there are others here to ride with me, that would be great. And if nobody is here, that's great, too. In either event, I'll enjoy myself. After seeing that Brisket and that Chili, I've decided that on the 29th of October at 12:34 PM, I will be sitting in Big Ws Roadside BBQ in Wingdale, New York. If anyone cares to join me, I'd really enjoy the company. If nobody shows up, I'll enjoy a really good meal. I have a nice route home planned; It's the route I was going to show Jim (Damnut) on the occasion we went to the Dinosaur in Troy, NY to celebrate my being cancer free. Unfortunately, it freakin' poured rain, and we split up to take the most direct routes to our respective homes. In any event, remember the name and location of Big Ws. Court has discovered a hidden treasure and the BBQ is quite tasty. So far, I can only attest to the quality of the ribs and the size of the portion. But after next Saturday, I'll be able to add another item to my review. Probably Brisket, but that Chili looks awfully tempting | ||

Is there some rule against brisket AND chili? | ||
| Court |
>>>Is there some rule against brisket AND chili? Precisely my thinking . . . . I hadn't even read to the end of the sentence when I'd already made that decision. | ||
| Crusty |
Is there some rule against brisket AND chili? The rule of stomach capacity. If the portions are similar in size to the portion of ribs 4 one, there's no way in hell I could eat it all. I'd make a valiant effort, though. | ||
| Froggy |
I think I need to stop by and try this place out today to make sure it is good before everyone comes next weekend.  | ||

Dang... methinks it's time to bust open a quart-jar of homemade chili starter REAL soon... been thinking about my next try at smoked brisket to boot. Last time (my first) I smoked brisket it turned out quite tasty, but I overshot the cook time by a little over an hour. Wasn't as tender as I'd liked, BUT- next weekend, we made a KILLER tasty big batch of chili with the shredded brisket! Need to replicate that, I do believe.    | ||
| Court |
John: Likely see you there . . . . If you need help remembering what my new neighborhood looks like . . . these are some shots from the car window Thursday and Friday. Ride safe . . . | ||
| Froggy |
 OK the conclusion is in for Big W: The food is great, I'm gonna have to make some detours here in the future. | ||
| 86129squids |
... and, I've NO doubt that Frogs ate the whole thing.   That DOES look mighty fine, BTW. BBQ season is upon us! Yay! | ||

I find it distastefull and with disregard and selfish to promote a ride a day before a major Buell event in the SAME area.It causes conflict.I'm NOT a Shit stirrer but it HAD to be said.I'd LOVE to try and mend fences but it's planned/w total disregard for the planners of HH | ||
| Jaimec |
I fail to see the problem. If you're from out of area, arrive a day early for lunch, if you like. If not, then just go to the HHR. It would be a BIGGER deal if BOTH events were scheduled for the same day... but a day apart? No conflict/no problem. | ||
| Ducxl |
But WHY??? Just attend hh and have the SAME meal...Enough said,i've attacked poor John | ||
| Crusty |
I don't see any conflict between meeting for lunch on Saturday and riding the Headless Horseman Run on Sunday. I'm not promoting any ride. I have nothing to do with the HHR and I'm pretty sure that the organizers have their own route planned with their own lunch destination. It's not on the same day and I'm not detracting in the least from the HHR. I don't see any disrespect for the HHR or its organizers, and none is intended. As far as attacking poor John; I do it all the time. I'm an expert at it; I know all his deficiencies and his weak areas, and I am his harshest critic. The bottom line is that I'm going to Wingdale on Saturday October 29 to eat some BBQ If anyone wants to join me, they're more than welcome. If you feel that joining me for lunch is in some way disrespectful or offensive, then, by all means, don't come. | ||
| Froggy |
I don't see it as a conflict or selfish or anything like that. For years Hammer always led a ride the day before the HHR, and like they say the more the merrier. Good eats and good company all around regardless who goes to what | ||
| Ducxl |
Enough said......If I DO,I hope to do Sunday It'd be nice to mend some fences..A very long ride regardless | ||
| Pwnzor |
Is there some rule against riding motorcycles two days in a row? | ||
| Ducxl |
I'm trying to stop but....If you're riding long distance and become torn between......good night.I knew this would end this way...I was concerned for the HH organizers |
