Bub's BarBQ Place

Cher and I went to a little place in Hadley near the University of Massachusetts for Bub's famous Bar-B-Q. It was great! I had the Bar-B-Q chicken with collard greens (they were ok, but I could tell they were not fresh as like I got down south) some cole slaw, potato salad and real brewed ice tea. Cher had the pulled pork with all the fixins too. It was a cute quaint little place, rustic, with picnic tables, paper towels for napkins, old doors, floors, etc. They have great food! Actually the man "Bub" as he is called who owns the place, did it quite accidentally. I was reading all about it as I ate. On the walls in there they have interesting news articles about the place, and people who have stopped to eat there, famous baseball players and movie stars.
Anyway..............back to Bub. Seems he was a pro golfer and the manager of a golf resort down in Florida. He had an accident (the article didn't say what kind of accident) and he had a back injury. He couldn't play golf anymore or work. The resturant (that is now Bubs) decided to let Bub buy it (guess it wasn't doing to good) anyway..........he bought it and started making his "secret"sauce that he had gotten from an inmate who he had employed when he was the manager at the resort. Well the sauce was a hit! He smokes all his meats, chicken, pork, steak, fish, even alligator tail and slops plenty of his secret barB-Q sauce on it. People started coming from everywhere (heard how wonderful it was by word of mouth) and he was doing a booming business. Through the years as time has gone on he has opened 2 franchises down in Orlando Florida that his grown son runs. His wife is from Georgia and she makes all the homemade desserts.......but I didn't have any, I was to full! Maybe next time.

Well if ya ever get to Hadley stop by Bub's Bar-B-Q, and as the sign says "Pig out in Style", you won't regret it! and they even let you eat with your fingers there and smack your lips! and actually they encourage it!!
Yum!
