csberryMy aunt and uncle advised my dad and I to run down the street to Bunyan's BBQ for lunch when we left the hospital. Always eager to try new hole-in-the-walls, we drove straight there.
I felt a bit of a "Soup Nazi" vibe from the ladies behind the counter that were ready to take my order immediately and completed it faster than my dad could order after me. The service was nice, just rushed.
The food was good. I ordered my uncle's recommendation - one BBQ sandwich and a hot dog. Like most other BBQ places in N. Alabama, the sauce is vingar-based. But Bunyan's isn't shy about spiciness and that sauce had a hell of a kick to it. The pulled-pork in the sandwich was sublime. I accepted it "as-served" with the spicy sauce and finely-chopped cole slaw on top. I'm usually not a fan of slaw on my BBQ, but it helped to cut the heat from the sauce. The hotdog was one of the skinny RED dogs that only make my mind wonder what chemicals are in it to make it so damned red. Like the BBQ sandwich, the dog came with slaw and sauce.
