Where BBQ Meets Bygone
The two lane country road meanders through picturesque farmland. If you’re not careful, you may miss the dilapidated structure that looks like a place history forgot to demolish. The warped, ruffled and rusty tin roof doesn’t hide its age, nor does the weathered and beaten gray wood siding.
Simply Good Eats
The structure was originally built in 1891. Since 1951, it’s been owned by the same family, who built a BBQ pit that churns out delicious ribs, brisket and sausage. This pit cranks out a taste that’s a carnivore’s dream! The staff members at Cele Store pride themselves on using only salt and pepper to dress up their meats.
Step Back in Time
On select Friday nights, you’ll be treated to live music. When the house band began playing Gordon Lightfoot’s “Sundown,” my mind waltzed back to a time when my toughest decision of the day was one pigtail or two; the only distance between me and my parents was a hallway; and calloused palms were proof I had mastered the monkey bars.
