Almost brings tears to my eyes. My first Q joint. I ate there for the first time when I was 4, and love it to this day. Hwy.74 in Shelby.
Red Bridges a tradition. My mom grew up in near by Cherryville. Growing up visiting my grandparents all holidays and summers, my grandfather would always make a run to Bridges for an easy meal for 15-20 folks. I have a half gallon of Bridges sauce in my fridge right now. So on holidays I smoke a butt, chop it fine (like bridges), my mom loves it and always tells us stories about growing up in Cherryville, and summers at Lake Lure ( family still has grandfathers lake house est 1942). So last week for Memorial day and WSM day I prepared my Bridges feast. Right down to the bbq slaw (vinegar and ketchup slaw). Made mom happy. To me that is what bbq is all about family, good food, and good times. Thanks Red Bridges for giving us a tradition!
