Sauce pickup and dinner at Schoepf's

A couple of Friday nights ago, Brad and I made the 130-mile round trip to Belton to pick up sauce from Schoepf's Old Time Pit Bar-B-Que for Gettin' Sauced! Naturally, we stayed for dinner. It was slammed. While we waited to order, we were told that we would have to take our orders to go, b/c there was no room in the dining areas. A table opened up, by the time we got our food and paid, so we didn't have to eat in the parking lot.

To sum up the meal: taste on, temperature way, way off. No meats were hot. The chicken wasn't even warm. Probably had something to do with the fact that it was a cool night and that the top of the holding pit was raised the entire time we were waiting (as you can see below). No problems re: taste; I just wish the food had been hot...at least warm. Schoepf's is good, but this was an off night, to be sure. Friendly service, though.
