Ben and I traveled out to Farmington, IL for Thanksgiving weekend. My brother in law, Chris, and his wife, Heather, live out there. Ben's parents made the trip up from Mississippi. We missed have Jen and Matt around for the holiday. But it was great to see part of the family. We had a great weekend together. Heather is a wonderful cook. She made the best Turkey I've ever had. We ate Thanksgiving goodies for 3 days straight. I could have eaten them for weeks.
We did take one break to try out a local bbq restaurant called
Hick'ry Stick. This place was delicious. It was also in a neat old building with brick walls and tin ceilings. While you sat in the dining room, you could see into the bakery. They also had an amazing banquet area upstairs that would be perfect for a wedding. anyway, back to the meal, I ordered a pulled pork sandwich with coleslaw on top. It was amazing. This sandwich has now formed a tie with best sandwich ever. I'll have to tell you about the other one another time.
I tried to recreate this sandwich this week. I picked a recipe for pulled pork and a recipe for coleslaw to try. The pulled pork is a slow cooker recipe and incredibly easy. I love the true slow cooker recipes that don't call for any side cooking in other pans. The coleslaw at the restaurant had a creamy poppy seed dressing with apples. I found a recipe on Simply Scratch for
The end result was good, but not quite as good as Hick'ry Stick. It would be hard to match the sandwich at Hick'ry Stick. I am a huge fan of the coleslaw recipe. I highly recommend checking it out.
