Perhaps best of all, or at least taking the title of the weirdest,
was the Texas Chainsaw Massacre Barbecue Joint, located
in Bastrop, TX. The old service station, which was used in
the famous slasher flick, not only features tons of horror
memorabilia for purchase inside, but from what we
understand, really delicious barbecue.
TERRI:
That’s a long line of people just waiting for barbecue.
We should try some.
VANESSA:
You are seriously going to eat something they cook
here? Their tagline is “We slaughter barbecue.”
And I’m not thinking cows.
TERRI:
(looking at the chart on the wall that shows the best
choice cuts—of humans!) Maybe we can find
something a little further down the road.
Discretion being the better part of valor, we left, which
was one of the more sensible decisions we made along the
route. (This included following a road that ended in a closed
gate with the sign: Your GPS is wrong. Turn around and go
back.)
We continued our trek back to Galveston via Houston,
secure in the fact that we’d survived yet another one of
our infamous road trips.
