Even though I love to wonder around the Farmer's Market on Saturday mornings and get inspired for all the great things I'm going to eat all week, I don't always feel like cooking when I get home. Every Saturday, the folks at Weiland's fire up their giant smoker outside and sell BBQ ribs, chickens, wings, pork loin, brisket, and I'm sure something I've missed, until they run out. I had heard that it is really great, and so this past Saturday I decided to give it a try. It was a game day (Ohio State football, for those of you fortunate enough to live somewhere where the entire city DOESN'T revolve around college football), so feared they might be low because of people stocking up for their tailgates. I was pretty early, (10:30am) and so was fine. I got two smoked half chickens and rounded the meal out with a bottle of Weiland's own honey habenero bbq sauce and a bag of Alexia frozen fries (that's right, not a vegetable to be seen!), and we had a great and nearly effortless lunch for about $14. Their bbq, by the way, is really, really good. Next week I will have to try ribs. I just wanted everyone to know.
