Dixie's BBQ, October 5, 2002
  
 
Bellevue, near where I-405 crosses the 520...

After ordering and repairing to a table, Gene came around with "The Man." Greg, Chris, and Michelle were meeting "The Man" for the first time. Chris took 2 scoops, Greg 1, and Michelle a mere drop on a toothpick. As I was carrying a camera I limited myself to 2 scoops...
 
       
 
 
 
This is "The Man." A simmering pot, bubbling... an evil concoction... Radiation from the pot made focusing the camera lens nearly impossible...
 
    
 
After dishing out scoops of "The Man," Gene paused for a picture with the group. Then the burn set in...
 
Poor Greg, being of a somewhat delicate construction, ran for the water jugs!
 
Upon leaving, Greg and Chris were still a glow!
 
     
 
I must say that I was very impressed with Chris' performance. He took "The Man" head-on and maintained a surprisingly strong composure under fire. He may have suffered the burn for the next 24 hours, but he was showing a strong face as we left... even though his ears were glowing...
