Worth the Drive

 

Hey North Alabama,

Don’t you just love the little town of New Market? It’s such a lovely drive – especially right now when the cotton is in bloom. The town is little in size but big in heart. The river that runs through it, the old buildings, the pretty farms on the way there, the smell…

Hold up! The smell? Oh, I said it.

That’s because smack dab in the middle of New Market is a mecca of wonderful smells known as New Market Barbecue:

Now I’ve been to New Market BBQ before. I’ve even blogged about it. So, I knew what was in store for us when I heard we were going there on the Restaurant Week Food Tour for #DineHSV. We weren’t disappointed.

Here’s what I LOVE about New Market BBQ: they are all about some social media. It’s true. They are very active on Facebook and Instagram etc. I appreciate it because it makes you feel like they are looking out for things, ya know? Seriously, their Instagram Feed is just a sight to behold what with all the yum on it.

Those ribs! Those desserts! Hold me!

I had the smoked chicken and the peanut butter pie. Oh man, was it good! Best thing about it? As we left I grabbed a family pack so I got out of cooking dinner. Score!

Don’t you just love the description of the sauces? It’s so Southern.

Sheesh, I’m getting hungry just looking at this menu board.

I’m sure they could give me something to fix that hunger, huh.

Restaurant Week runs through the 24th. The gift card contest is still going on. All you have to do it tag #DineHSV in your social media for a chance to win!
