"Slo'-Smokin' Barbeque"

Since yesterday was the last day of our visit with Amy and Gene at their new Rock Hill, South Carolina home, they decided that we should take a few minutes to check out a piece of the local history and culture: a great local restaurant with the catchy name of "Slo'-Smokin' Barbeque"! Slo' Smokin' is a wonderful place to visit for several reasons, not the least of which is the great food. The menu offers a number of sumptuous barbeque pork and chicken dishes that really tickle the taste buds and bring out the traditional flavors of the south. Whatever your taste in southern cookin', these friendly folks are sure to whip up something that'll leave you longing for a lot more of it! And then there is the building itself, a large pre-civil war era farmhouse with huge rooms and ornate hand-crafted wooden trim all around. We were also told that this was the first house in York County to have electricity installed. And to add a little extra character, the walls and shelves are adorned with precious sports memorabilia including photos of the owner with a number of sports icons as well as a ticket to the very first Super Bowl...signed by football legend Bart Starr himself! Although we were only there for a short while, Cheria, Gene and I really enjoyed our visit to Slo'-Smokin' Barbeque. If you would like to check it out for yourself, you'll find this amazing place in Rock Hill at 4821 Old York Road. You can also call 803-325-1066 to have them cater your special event in the Rock Hill area.   Visit the POTD Archives for previous "Pictures Of The Day"!     Submit a photo of your own!            Why I publish the "Picture of the Day"
