Hot Rod BBQ
A new restaurant has opened outside of Burkesville named "Hot Rod BBQ".
The Hot Rod BBQ is on the left less than 3 miles south of Burkesville on
Highway 61.
We've
heard that it's been really busy on the weekends, so we rode out there
Thursday afternoon to try their food and talk with the people working.
We ordered from the MENU
and sat down at the table. A few minutes later our food was ready and
was brought to the table. The restaurant isn't fancy and the food comes
in takeout containers, but there was plenty of food and it tasted good.
The staff was courteous and friendly too. They're open 10 - 6 on
Thursday, 10 - 9 Friday and Saturday, then 10 - 6 on Sunday. You can
call in your order at 270-433-9696 and then eat in or take out.
So,
if you're out cruisin' in your hot rod and end up on KY 61 between
Burkesville and Celina, stop in and give Hot Rod BBQ a try.

Cruise To Fountain Run
The Cruisers went to the Rolling Rods' Third Annual Classic Car Show in
Fountain Run on May 21st. The CRC Car Club left the Courthouse Square in
Burkesville at 8:30 AM and headed to Fountain Run. We followed each
other west on KY 90 and turned south on KY 163 through Tompkinsville,
then we went west on KY 1366 to Fountain Run. After about an hour an a
half, we pulled into the field where the Rolling Rods were holding their
car show. We were directed where to park and pointed to the tent where
they were registering vehicles. After registering and receiving a
'goodie bag', we came together for a group picture and then set out
walking around the grounds checking out the other vehicles that were at
the show.
Members
of the Rolling Rods told me they had 87 vehicles that had registered at
the end of the time period.
The
judges made their rounds and the points were added up and then the
Rolling Rods began giving away door prizes and awards. Kendra Coe was a
door prize winner.
Carol
& Dave Neff received a Top 35 award as did Kent Cooper and Red Thrasher.
Bob
Rudig won a Trophy for Best Unrestored as our group looked on. Then Mike
Shoopman won for Best Older Mustang.
The
Best of Show trophy went to Mike Burton, from Albany, for his Yellow
Chevy Deuce
It
was great weather and the Rolling Rods conducted a nicely done car show
and they gave away a lot of nice trophies and awards. The Cruisers had a
good time at the car show, there was plenty of food available and a
friendly atmosphere. The Cruisers had a few trophies and awards to haul
home too.
Readers
can view all the car pictures at this LINK.
After
you look at the pictures, you can come back and leave us a comment.
