Midweek: Willie Mae’s Barbecue

Take a left hand turn off the Southern courthouse square and find the smoky joint decorated inside with bluegrass posters and country album covers. Sound like classic Dixie? It is and yet it’s all new at Willie Mae’s Barbecue in Springfield. Joe Tuten and Gail Norman have outfitted the joint in fine barbecue fashion. It’s smoky inside

We’ll be up front with you from the get go- we moved this review way up in our schedule.

Midweek: Benchmark, Five Points, and Arnold Expands
