Stop 12 - Buddy Holly 1957

Peggy Sue BBQ has been operating near SMU in one form or another since the 1950’s.

Based on the quality of their offerings, they’ll be around for quite a few more years.

Hands down the best chopped brisket of any we have tasted on this tour.

Smoked with oak, the result was amazingly flavorful.  They don’t spoil it with too much sauce, but rather let the meat do the talking.

Wonderful night for a walk, so we walked through the SMU campus.  The place is buzzing in preparation for homecoming and the game against Houston tomorrow.  All of Dallas is buzzing, actually as the Rangers are playing in Arlington tonight hoping to send the Yankees packing.  The Cowboys play on Monday Night Football, and the TV trucks are already positioned outside the stadium.

Any restaurant that was good enough for Tom Landry is good enough for us, and if/when I get back this place will be on the list of must-visit BBQ joints.
