Spring officially began on March 20, 2019. And with that the weather took a
remarkable turn for a beautiful day of riding. With work at my new employer and
Margaret deep into her spring semester at school we haven’t been very active with
motorcycle activities for quite awhile. Today however we saw the weather was
going to be amazing and quickly planned a day of riding!

For over a year we have been wanting to take a ride to Belton, TX and try
out Millers Smokehouse. It was rated in the top 50 BBQ places in state of
Texas for BBQ by Texas Monthy in 2017. I contacted our closest friends
Steve and Angie to ask if they wanted to go with us. I was glad when they said yes
and also brought another couple we ride with as well. Millers opens at 11 AM to 3 PM
on Sunday or until the meat runs out. Since it was late notice we took the interstate to get
there right at opening time to beat the crowds. It’s just over a 2 hour ride and we arrived
about 11:30 AM.

It was just getting busy and we were able to walk right up to the counter and
place our order. This didn’t last for long though. Within an hour after our arrival
there was a line out the door and probably 20+ deep in line outside the building
along the sidewalk. That line never dwindled down the entire time we were there
and even got longer as the morning rolled on. Millers Smokehouse didn’t disappoint
either, proving without question why they are rated as a top smokehouse in Texas.
I wanted to try all kinds of stuff so we intentionally ordered too much with plans of
taking what we didn’t eat home. We got moist brisket, lean brisket, regular flavored
sausage, a rack of ribs, potato salad, and mac & cheese. Every item was exceptional
and can easily be placed among the top BBQ items we have ever eaten.
They also make their own fountain drinks all of which were good as well.

While we were eating a surprise visitor arrived that we were excited to see!
Chip from Fixer Upper came in!
They have a TV show where they renovate homes in the Waco area for clients that is a
great show to watch. Margaret and I are regular viewers and have also visited their
store Magnolia Market in Waco as well. I couldn’t help myself, not that I’m a fanboy
or anything like that but I do like the show and it’s not often you get to meet a celebrity,
so I asked him if he would let Margaret take a picture of us together.
He was so nice about it and gladly accepted. It’s really kewl when a celebrity is
genuinely kind and will do something like that even when they are out just doing
things like trying to eat. Thank You Chip! I greatly appreciated your time for a picture!

Now it was time to head home. The plan today was to head straight to Millers Smokehouse for lunch, then take a nice long scenic route home. The temperature rose to 86 degrees with clear skies and the wind was at our backs! It seriously couldn’t have been better. We rode 298 miles and had more fantastic experiences while we were out again. It always amazes me how you can ride out into the unexpected and find experiences and treasures you never even planned for.
