Blue Cheese Cabbage Slaw
My good friend David Smith returned from a short road-trip to Plano, Texas. He had lunch at Lockhart Smokehouse. The barbeque there is award winning and famous, but it was the Blue Cheese Slaw he couldn’t stop talking about. This is not exactly like Lockhart’s slaw, which is spiked with jalapenos. Mine is milder and […]
