And I didn’t even do anything wrong!
The SHED is a local barbeque joint that has been featured on “Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives” on the Food Channel. If you like barbeque and are along the Mississippi gulf coast, this is the place to go.
Its name is a good one, because you won’t find fine dining here. There is seating inside and out with gravel outside and wooden boards inside. Thousands of one dollar bills are attached to the ceiling. Watch your step, though, because the footing is rather uneven.
JERRY and Wanda, in their Casita, were stopping in the area overnight, so we got together for a late lunch this afternoon.
I last met them while I was making my challenging trip from Indiana to the repair shop in Louisiana last fall. They are native Mississippians, and offered to give me a tour of Natchez should I head that way when my gig is up here at the end of April. I’m thinking that sounds like a great plan. They are a delightful couple, and they recently met JANNA and Mike in Florida when they found themselves in the same campground. Members of this RV blogging community seem to cross paths quite often. How cool is that? Thanks, Wanda and Jerry, for good food and fun conversation.
I’ll actually be seeing them again early tomorrow morning as they take advantage of our free guided crane tours here on the refuge. I sure hope I can find as many cranes for them to see as I did on the last tour I gave. The rest of the day I spent chilling out, and taking Emma for a hike. It was my day off after all.
Thanks for stopping by… talk to you later, Judy
That sure 'nuf looks like an interesting place to eat. Sometimes the best food is in little places like that.
ReplyDeleteI loved the Shed when we stopped there a few years ago! Easy stop off the Interstate too. The offer to get a native tour of Natchez sounds great! So neat to meet so many nice people via our blogs!
ReplyDeleteThis for sure looks like my kind of down home cookin'. Nice to eat out on one's day off.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the cranes tomorrow.

BBQ and cranes - does it get much better? Sounds wonderful!!
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't mind being taken out back to that shed!!
ReplyDeleteLove the looks of that place bet the food was great.
ReplyDeleteWhen we went to The Shed we couldn't decide what to get so the server suggested we order whatever they call their variety pack meal. We did and we both ate off it for a couple of days! Good stuff! And reading the walls was fun, too.
ReplyDeleteBBQ and cranes? Good thing it isn't BBQ cranes! Now that was just sick. I should delete it, but I'm feeling wicked tonight.
ReplyDeleteI have been there on one of my treks from Texas to Florida. It is very good. A bit off the highway so you can miss it. Conveniently has a pretty nice RV park right next door but we didn't stay there. Great food!

Shoot I wish I had seen The Shed when we were in the area...it is funny how we read others blogs and regret things we missed seeing along the way. Hope you find the Cranes.
ReplyDeleteJust BS!(Bob and Sue)
Jerry and Wanda are the nicest folks, glad you caught up with them again.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for the Crane tour!
ReplyDeleteI remember seeing "The Shed" on diners drives ins and dives, I bet it was yummy.Angela
ReplyDeleteI love places like "The Shed" Family owned, been around forever, and nothing fancy, but great food! I hope your meal was delicious.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun place...I love Diners,Drive-ins and Dives...especially the Dives..They usually have the best food..
ReplyDeletewill have to check out the shed when we pass through that way on our journey out west...
ReplyDeletemmmmmm..... Looks like a great BBQ joint.
ReplyDeleteHmmm, sounds like the perfect combo: camping next door to a BBQ joint! And on the Gulf Coast where there is lots to see & do. Win-win!
ReplyDeleteSo, what did you order?
ReplyDeleteThe just the decor should be worth the visit:)
ReplyDeleteWhat fun....
ReplyDeleteOk I gotta visit The Shed next time I'm in Mississippi this fall. What town is it near?
