Huck’s Catfish
PDF 
John Payne began Huck’s almost twenty years ago in Pottsboro. From the start, Payne has served farm-raised channel catfish from the Mississippi Delta. He’s done business with some of his suppliers for two decades, so he know he can rely on the quality of their product.
The filets are breaded rather than battered, and the result is catfish that is flaky inside and out. A full order is four pieces so there is no going away hungry, and the filets are sweet and pure white. If you like your catfish crunchier and drier, tell ‘em to “burn it.” The tartar sauce and cocktail sauce that are made in Huck’s kitchen are as fresh as the hush puppies and coleslaw, and you can’t have catfish without hush puppies and coleslaw. It’s probably a law or something. A woman from Iowa had this to say about Huck’s on a restaurant review website. “This is the best place in northern Texas for catfish… and nearly the best place for chicken. Huck’s is on our “must stop” list whenever we visit this part of the country and it doesn’t disappoint.” The same site has notes written by folks from California to Chicago, and points in between saying pretty much the same thing. But hey, folks around Texoma have know that for years.

Remote Possibilities
As pilot Bruce Lemoine brought his Japanese Zero in for a landing, everyone watched anxiously. The war birds have a tendency to tip over on the propeller, fellow pilot Dan Eshelman said as the plane closed on the runway. Lemoine lined up his plane for a landing on the grass next to the runway to soften the blow to the prop in case the WWII bird tipped, but the extra precautions were unnecessary.
Old World Meat Market
It’s about meat, or MEAT in the vernacular of the hungry summer grill master. Brisket smoking long and slow, pork chops, really thick pork chops, and of course, steaks—ribeyes, T-bones, the regal porterhouse—all with a char and a sizzle and juice that runs pink and warm when your knife slides through the beef. Got the picture?
More Productive?
Some pundit on radio had the nerve to say that American workers must be more productive if we are going to get this nation back on its feet. Exactly what does that mean? I’m obviously clueless as to how much can actually be done in a typical 10-12 hour day. By the time I head home in the evening my mind is ready to explode. How about you?
