| Stanley's Famous Bar-B-Q |
I hear this statement far too often on campus at UT Tyler:
“I have never eaten at Stanley’s.” Every
time some poor soul says this to me I get excited, because I
know a great opportunity awaits them.
If you have never eaten at Stanley’s Famous Pit Bar-B-Q, let alone heard
of it, drop everything and read the rest of this blog post. You are about to be enlightened.
My first
experience at Stanley’s was in Mid-August of 2011, the day I moved to
Tyler. My debate coach told me all of
his new students are required to eat at Stanley’s at least once while they
attend UT Tyler, but after taking a bite of their ridiculously amazing barbecue,
I knew that it would be a restaurant I would return to more than once.
