I'm late getting into this thread but I'll wade in with full enthusiasm!

Hickory House, Parker Colorado FTW!!!

Now, I grew up in Kansas CIty (Missouri) where BBQ is King (had the only 4 Star BBQ joint in the world for years). I practically teethed on BBQ of all sorts: brisket, ribs, pulled pork, chicken, etc. and eventually my dad was 50% owner of a BBQ restaurant. My point is, I KNOW good BBQ and have been disappointed for YEARS trying to find decent BBQ in Colorado.

This changed while celebrating my 20th wedding anniversary wit hmy wife in Aspen a couple of years ago when we found and ate at Hickey House BBQ (the one in Aspen). I don't know who I was in love with more that night, my wife, or Hickory House! [BTW: It was my wife's idea to have our 20th Anniversary dinner at a BBQ joint, not mine. What a gal' eh?]

We were thrilled to find that they also had a store in Parker. We finally got a chance to try the Parker location out this past spring and found that the food was just as good as at the Aspen store.

You ain't just whistlin' Dixie!

My wife and I are always looking for a reason to go back up to Parker to eat at Hickory House and this would be the perfect excuse. I'm all for it but I might not get to attend unless it were after teh first of the year with all of the holiday stuff going on and my wife working retail. If I went to Hickory House without her (even if I brought food back for her), she'd probably shoot me.
