The 21 Takes a Back Seat

[reelapeelin]

Maybe this should be in Off-Topic, but to me the topic is to boat or not, so here goes...

The 21 has recently been mothballed as my partner and I have signed a lease to buy on a small restaurant we'll open soon as a BBQ place...

We've got a guy can cook some of the BEST ribs, pulled pork, etc., etc., etc. I ever had who'll be the pit-man...the building, seen in the background above looks like a red barn, so we named it...

It's located in Cowpens about 6 miles from my house and we've got the whole town abuzz about our opening...

Excited about it, but the 21'll bee sittin for a while to come...

BBQ without sauce is heavenly. Sauce just masks the true flavor. I'll take a bucket of ribs without sauce any day :clap:

[reodds]

Congrats! How about an exact address?

[Blue_Runner]

WOW Reel, running a Q joint has always been a dream of mine. I'm jealous!

You know what would go really good with that Q? Some of Blue Runner's famous Roasted Corn. Silver Queen/King, roasted in the shuck, then peeled back and lathered with as much butter as it'll hold.

If you ever need a corn roaster lemme know. People eat that stuff like desert! And it would go damn good with the red barn! I have a feeling as soon as they lay me off here I'm gonna be roasting more corn than I care to roast!

I love idea, the building, the signage and most of all your guts and determination to make it happen. Good for you and best of luck!
:clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::c lap:

p.s. you need me to babysit the V? :you:

[Blue_Runner]

Hey Reel, forgot to mention. I grew up eating at a place not too far from here called the Red Barn. It was a fish camp though. We used to hit it every weekend. Fond memories!

[garagenc]

Congrats Reel I just saw the post, been out of touch lately with the site.

Hope your place does well, I'll have to grab the main muff put 1 of my V shirts on her and head your way. I love Q I've had mustard sauce before and it was good, I grew up on vinegar sauce. I've started making red meat BBQ lately and I like it as good as pork BBQ.

Keep us posted when you open and we'll come down.

P.S. I think the reason Reel didn't post the address is he doesn't want the site to show up with V shirts and he has to explain to his partner the "slip of the tongue" deal he made and why they have a restaurant full of V shirted people and how the meals are FREE.

[HookedOnMarsh]

:love:Oh man stop it already! BBQ, Silver Queen corn!!!
I forgot what I've been missing back home in SC. Been living here in Mississippi so long I almost forgot what real corn is! You just can't find that corn when you cross the state line. What kinda sauce for the BBQ? I grew up in the lowcountry and grew fond of the yellow, mustard base sauce. MMmmmmmm!! Will check you out on my next trip back.

[randlemanboater]

That's awsome REEL......tell me when you are open, I'll send my parents over to try it out.

[macojoe]

i going to start renting V20 Tshirts:sun:

[nipper]

Good luck with it Reel. I agree with you that the best BBQ is that which is so juicy, tender and tasty that it needs no sauce--maybe just some on the side for a dip or two.

Hey GarageNC, bet you can't call your wife/significant other "the main muff" in front of her!

[Blue_Runner]

I'm betting he can....but he's gonna get SLAPPED! :hide:

[CaptJ]

Sounds awesome. Something I would love to try. Wish you the best on your new venture. I agree with no sauce. It's all in the rub! and I am glad I bought those little tees for my girls.

[Blue_Runner]

BBQ + RUB is 90% of the equation but I am a sauce man. Gotta have that last 10% to make it JUST RIGHT IMO!

[macojoe]

Vic

[RWilson2526]

All I know is that the venture must be kickin his *** time wise...that boy aint hardly posted around here in the last 2 months!

[willy]

Yea Big Shakin's going on, read his menu off to me, mmm, mmm. He and his partner have five six employees working out of there and Ozzie has one day a week off right now, Mondays. So no dust growing on his shoes right now.

[randlemanboater]

Willy, do you know the address of the Red Barn? I'm in SC right now not far from Cowpens.

[willy]

No I don't, I do know that it is right outside the city limits of Spartenburg in a town we all know of , Cowpens SC. And if me and Franco don't get our butts down there forthwith we are in heap of trouble.

[willy]

PM me your cell I will hook you up

[willy]

Anybody got Randles cell# he is off the site so he did not get my message I want to hook him up to Ozzie, if you do pm me it please

[randlemanboater]

Never did make it over to Cowpens.....visiting family down that way.

I will have to get the location for next time I'm down there.

I thought for sure I could find it searching the internet but no go.......REEL needs some web exposure so folks can find his place easier.
