Have you ever had a craving for a grilled hamburger and did not want to drag out the old charcoal grill and make just one or two burgers? Then your in luck just hurry on down to Uncle Johns Barbecue and get you a half cow burger.

Sounds like a pitch for a restaurant doesn’t it? Well I felt that way today and decided to try the smoked burger that I had heard so much about. I pulled up to the takeout window where I was greeted by a young man who asked me what I wanted. I told him I wanted one of their burgers and asked him what was came on it. He proceeded to tell me everything but the kitchen sink. I said fine and ordered one. To my surprise this burger was only 3.50 today so I got what I thought was a bargain since I had eaten other large burgers at other restaurants and paid more.

To my surprise when they handed me the sack it felt like they had put a brick in it. The burger had to weight a pound or so. When I got it home and opened the sack I was pleasantly surprised at the burger. It was done to perfection with a pink smoke ring on the outer portion of the burger. Just enough condiments to make it worth using 5 napkins. I felt I was in hog (uh bull) heaven with this burger. Just enough smoke flavor in the burger for you to taste it with every bite without the charcoal and lighter fluid taste that you get from a home cooked burger. Needless to say their was enough here for a snack later.

So the next time you think about pulling out the grill and spending all that time preparing the burgers, getting the grill going and taking the time to cook your burger just take that same amount of time to call Uncle Johns BBQ and preorder your burgers. Harold (the owner) will make sure your experience is a tasty one.

Oh also try his Barbecue and Stew. They are great as well. He makes his own sauce but this is for another day.
