First Bar-B-Q in Kyrg...Shenanigans...Forever!

9pm

Earlier tonight we had a nice experience. Two Texans, Bob and Scott came in with their families and ordered a bunch of stuff.

I walked over and introduced myself and I notice Bob has brought in his own BBQ sauce.

He shared some with me and it was a good, sweet Texas sauce.

We got to talking bbq and Bob whips out his cell and shows me a picture of his smoker that he has here in Bishkek. It's a nice little offset.

Scott says that he's got an identical one here also, so we start talking smokers, briskets, blah blah. It was really nice change, as all the bbq talk I've done over the past year as been on TSR. (I really like tsr, but it's all typing)

I haven't actually spoken to anyone knowledgeable about bbq for a long time.

Well, at the end of the dinner, Bob says he plans to bring his entire staff of 25 in a couple weeks.

But before he said that, he mentioned his first time here. He said the ribs were so good that it was an "emotional experience."

His saying this gave me an emotional experience.

I also learned that Bob's brother used to be a lineman for the 49ers and his brother had a steak house in Texas.

He left me with a bottle of his Texas BBQ sauce and I must say it was a dandy.

I agree TSR is great but there is nothing like a good ol' face to face chat with a fellow BBQ'er.

You said the bbq sauce "was dandy"...did you drink it like a beer?? Shocked

I'd ask Olga if she could arrange a DVD of the clip......

Go with more pork and chicken if that's where the yield is proving up. Raise the price on your beef/lamb to reflect reality. Can't fight market economics, people will understand if prices are going up across the board.

I have googled the heck out of Olga but no pictures to be found.... tried different variations with the name of your city and TV and so on... but nada...

230 pm and I haven't even thought about bbq today.

Police, our guards, and a district attorney are all huddled in the main hall sorting out a situation.

1 am last night and there was a brawl.

more on this...it just got worse.

Ahhh the trials and tribulations of serving booze. Shocked

But this one really sucks...I mean the drums... REALLY??? Shocked

All kidding aside JAllen, I hope this all works out in your favor in the end and you NEVER have a situation like this again....

I certainly don't dispute nor condone the ill behavior, and I'm glad the douche' bags were dealt with.

But the need to destroy video evidence hints at excessive force.

But, for you, it sounds like just another day at the office! Confused

A typical day in the FSU.....

The interesting parts of these situations are when the security company, which is always "connected" to the power structure, runs into someone who has near-equal clout.

Here's a little episode which shows you how things are in that area of the world for restaurant/bars:

This takes place in the Ukrainian city of Lugansk, population - of about 525,000, in one of the most popular places in town. The man sitting in the booth with the three girls is the restaurant manager. The man who comes to the table and confronts the blonde is a City Councilman and also has a father and uncle serving in the Ukrainian Rada (equivalent of Congress). Like JA's story, a guard will eventually show up and it's worth noting the behavior of the waitress with the check and, of course, other patrons.

ENJOY!

Thanks for the replies guys.

In the end, the guy ended up paying for the damage under threat of imprisonment. I'm ordering the stuff from ebay.
