Met three of my girly friends, Sylvia, Mary and Stephanie, at Phil’s BBQ by the Sports Arena for a fantastic-as-always barbecue lunch and gossip kvetch. A wide variety of topics were discussed, including a lack of bathrooms on road trips, lack of bathrooms on airplanes, a lack of bathrooms in the desert, and a lack of bathrooms on hikes. We also talked briefly about movies, children and turbulence.
My meal of choice was the El Toro sandwich: one thousand pounds of char-grilled, deli-sliced tri-tip beef with BBQ sauce served on a really fresh and thick bun. It was easily enough for two meals. There was no way I could finish it. Actually, I don’t think any of us finished our meals. There was also a plate of amazing onion rings to be shared.
It was a fun lunch, just as I was expecting it to be.
