, a former Baptist preacher who moved to Gainesville from Birmingham a dozen or so years ago, pulls up in the parking lot to deliver some old, rusted shovel blades that he figures Mitchell can use to make something for the restaurant.“I’m gonna wait on the calling,” Mitchell says. “I gotta listen to the spirits inside of my soul. They’ll tell me what to do with them.”
Garner ordered the smoked sausage, and his friend, Norman Davis, got the pulled pork. They each got a side of collard greens.Mitchell goes from table to table making sure everybody’s happy.In addition to Texas, St. Louis and baby back ribs, the Alabama Rib Shack menu features pulled pork, smoked sausage, smoked chicken, jerk chicken, rib tips and pig tails. Sides include baked beans, candied yams, potato salad, collards, coleslaw, and mac and cheese.
The couple lived in Gainesville but owned some farmland across the Tombigbee River in neighboring Greene County, where they grew peanuts and cucumbers, raised cows and pigs, and taught Jamie Lee the value of earning his own way. She made a deal with him. If he could come up with half of the $7 that the clippers cost, she would cover the rest.It wasn’t long before their little investment started paying off.
Barbering would provide a means for him to make a living after he left Gainesville, and barbecuing would be the reason for coming back.
Great story. My grandparents were from Gainesville, Alabama in Sumter County. I used to travel there as a child. Good people and good food. This is Rep. Terri Sewell's District. I know that she's proud because she works so hard for her District. Now manufacturing is needed....
Mouthwatering! There's a story here too... 'Stephanie, a certified nurse-midwife, is in the final stages of finishing a project of her own -- transforming a 187-year-old antebellum house on nearby Webster Street into Alabama’s first freestanding birth center.'
Great story. Now Jamie Lee has two homes: Big city Boston, Massachusetts and small town Gainesville, Alabama. Maybe soon he'll be mayor of Gainesville, Alabama.
