Yesterday we finally got on the road. We are headed for Alaska (via a Rod's folk's house in Kansas, a friend's house in Nebraska, Christa's cousin's house in Nebraska as well, and my brother's house in Montana). Along the way we'll be hitting a lot of eateries and campgrounds. Our first stop was here at J.R.'s Restaurant in Juction, Texas, for a little lunch. Turns out that a lot of celebs like this place as well, including Troy Aikman, Whoopi Goldberg, and Willie Nelsen to mention a few. And I can see why. I had the Jalapeno Sausage an BBQ brisket plate. I have eaten a lot of brisket in my time, but this was a memorable event. Cooked to perfection (no lie). I gather the BBq is provided by Cooper, but did not get the local skinny on the relationship between them. What I know though, is that if you like Texas style BBQ, this place is a must stop.
