🧑‍🍳 At a night club ran by the cartel in Charleston, SC @ICEgov arrested 72 criminal illegal aliens and seized narcotics and firearms.

Yes, I used a food prefix 👨‍🍳 For a reason.

When I first moved to the Charleston area I had that "hankering" for some BBQ one afternoon. I chose a place close and was exposed, for the first time in my life, to that gawd awful concoction known as "mustard based BBQ."

I finally found a place that was "out in the country;" a place called Kelly's. It was what I was after. A loaf of Capt. Durst on the table, some corn on the cob, and BBQ. (Yeah, they had potato salad, etc.) It was the BBQ I grew up eating as a kid. @Bamabww remember sending me the sauce a few years ago from Whitt's? That was just after Kelly's had closed.

Welp. I glance at the news and here's what I find. This USED to be Kelly's.

I mentioned this to my mom last night. Her first question was about the couple who used to own the place. When I met them they were in their upper 80's, I'd guess.

She asked if they still owned the place. No, thankfully. But this crossed my mind. The man, his wife, and family built that place: as in "built" that place. Built, all the way down to the picnic tables inside your family could sit and eat.

I had a brief "thank god" moment thinking about how he and his wife would react, today, if they read the news of their old place. I feel weird saying this, "thank god they've passed on."
