Shealys BBQ!<\/p><\/div>\n
We showed up just before opening time, parked the Barge around back and marvelled at the lineup of Shealy’s delivery and catering trucks. Not small-time any more. Service was starting for the day and fortunately we were just in time; in a half-hour buses pulled up carrying groups from other towns!<\/p>\n
In direct comparison to Jackie Hite’s, the standard pulled pork was moist and tasty, more moist and more tender than Hite’s. I understand that Shealy’s uses butts and Hite’s does whole hog and that’s probably why since there’s no lean meat. The chopped mustard-sauced pork was great but was more mustardy than Hite’s.<\/p>\n
Fried chicken was equal, as were sides.<\/p>\n
Hash is another Midlands treat; Shealy’s hash was great and a little more mustardy than Hite’s. The difference in mustard taste between Shealy’s and Jackie Hite’s isn’t \u00a0tremendous but it is there.<\/p>\n
And now, dessert!<\/p>\n
Nanner puddin! It was exactly as good as Hite’s and if possible even a little fresher!<\/p>\n
OK, brass-tacks time. Comparing these two 100-mile BBQ joints about a couple of blocks from each other, Shealy’s wins by a nose for the better pulled pork. I’m not real sure why anyone would go to a Leesville BBQ joint for pulled pork while their specialty is mustard-sauced chopped pork and hash, but there it is. We stuffed ourselves to the point of exploding knowing that we wouldn’t have BBQ this good for a while.<\/p>\n
