Smokin' Chick's BBQ Columbia Missouri

One of my favorite BBQ restaurants is Smokin' Chick's BBQ.  It is not necessarily easy to find.  It is located in the middle of an upscale strip mall west of Rockbridge High School at 4603 John Garry Drive.  I go for the brisket.  It is very flavorful, thinly sliced and never dry.  They also has a wonderful mixed meat plate option for when I really feel like over consuming.  The fries are OK.  They have a horseradish coleslaw, but will fix me a coleslaw without the horseradish when I ask.  The service is always pleasant.  I have never found the restaurant full or really near full, most of the time when I go there are only one or two other tables in use.  They have been there for some years, so I can only speculate that they must do a lot of catering.

Today I treated myself to a meal at Smoking Chicks because I was on a mission to fix my daughters garage door.  What started as a simple broken spring, developed into a strengthening of the connection of the motor to the door.  I was amazed at the learning curve related to fixing the spring.  It all seems relatively simple, but it is a much more complex task as you balance the spring to the door so that everything works smoothly.  I found on the internet that Eddie’s Garage Door seemed to sell garage door parts.  I went there and found a very pleasant young man who sold me the spring for a lot less than I thought it would cost.  In addition he lent me a couple of metal bars that helped me in the tensioning of the spring.  He was very nice and I highly recommend him if you find yourself in need of repairs on a garage door.
