Goode knew nothing about commercial pit barbecue. The beginning was a nightmare. “There were these big stoves, giant spoons, forks, and knives,” he recalls with visible discomfort. He burned up a lot of meat at first. But things began to change slowly. He and his uncle Joe, a cook in the Air Force, took turns sleeping in the kitchen with a shotgun for protection Kirby was not so chic a mere fifteen years ago and they kept a record of the fire and the meat. Jim began to get the hang of it. On Sundays he drove out to Burnet to load up on mesquite, which he stacked around the outside of the building to show people he used real wood. To find the best sausage, he traveled all over South Texas until he settled on a Czech sausagemaker in Weimar.

HORNELL A smiling cowboy, Santa riding an elephant, and a group of red-capped gnomes have become Hornell’s newest neighbors during the Christmas holiday season. They can be found hanging out at homes that Hornell Partners for Growth judged to be the best decorated.
HPG’s judges, including members of the Canisteo-Greenwood senior class, surveyed sparkling scenes across the Maple City last week and found the judging to be tough.
“Our judges were very impressed with all of the houses that decorated this year. They decided that because of the great displays that some of the categories have multiple winners. They also wanted to add a category for Best Decorated Street: Maple Street,” according to HPG chair Michelle Pogue. Approximately 30 outstanding residences received a gift bag containing a Hornell for the Holidays 2020 ornament and a passport to savings card.
