Barbecue and Christmas Lights: Your new holiday tradition
While entertaining a small group of friends last night, we discussed holidays and more specifically holiday traditions. The group confirmed the Chickasha Festival of Light is a top 10 Holiday tradition that ranks with heavyweights like watching TNT’s A Christmas Story marathon, eggnog and building a snowman. Granted, we’re located deep within the boundaries of the southern Great Plains so snowmen primarily reside in our childlike dreams; however, it’s fun to dream big on occasion.
Our conversation took a hard right when I mentioned the Chickasha Festival of Light is only minutes away from the most amazing small town barbecue joint.
This year we should all strive to incorporate more small-town businesses into our traditions. If said businesses happened to have fried green beans as an appetizer, everyone wins. You shouldn’t just take my word for it, friends.
Only 45 minutes from Oklahoma City, Jake’s Rib is the perfect place to host your next family outing. Whose dad doesn’t love barbecue? Exactly.
If you’re running short on family this year, send me an invite and I’d be happy to tag along. Just remember, this stop goes hand-in-hand with the Christmas lights. It’s like peas and carrots, Blake and Gwen, Arbuckle Mountain Fried Pies and Exit 51.
Did I mention took these pictures? Read as: I absolutely endorse this establishment, and this message has been 100 percent approved by my taste buds.
To recap, barbecue now goes with Christmas lights, and you’ll be going to Chickasha, Okla. soon*.
Over & out.
