High On The Hog BBQ, Mississippi 07-2021

After visiting the Elvis Graceland museum (which was an expensive but probably should-see-once experience, albeit a little disappointing in that it didn't really explore deeply his personality or his demons), it was off to New Orleans. After the delight of Central BBQ, we didn't want to justify driving backwards and spending time getting more, and so found a well rated place along the way. It was off a road in a little town somewhere in Mississippi that really noone would expect two tourists to be on for any other reason.

People stood outside waiting for their takeaway from this red hut, that wasn't allowing any inside dining. Nonetheless it was pleasant enough using the outside table with some shade from the heat.

Bar B-Que Ribs plate (with corn, coleslaw and bread) USD11.75 had some thick big ribs which had some chew to them. Good but not Central BBQ in our opinion. I thought I'd try some local fried delicacy of catfish plate (with coleslaw, fries & hush puppies shrimp) USD8.4 which was soft fish with thin crisp coating but not seasoned. It was a massive serve that I couldn't finish. Hush puppies were like a fried dough ball, I didn't think it was anything special.

A nice break enroute.
