These days, I can't pass a sign with the word special in it without stopping to investigate. I saw this sign in front of one of my favorite barbecue joints tonight: RJ's Bob-Be-Que Shack at 5835 Lamar in Mission. A barbecue sandwich and fries for less than four bucks?
This special -- only available as a carry-out deal -- is the "Lil One Sandwich" that's usually priced at $5.25, including fries, on the regular menu. I winced at the idea that the sandwich was "lil." What if it were too "lil" for a hearty appetite? At RJ's, this sandwich is filled with 3-ounces of meat, your choice of beef brisket, ham, turkey, sausage, pork or chicken. And a fistful of those wonderfully crispy seasoned fries. The sandwich wasn't too petite, I was happy to see. I ordered sausage for myself and brisket for a friend. But since I was hungry, I ate my meal in the car on the way home. It was satisfying and a very good deal.
This carry-out special is available seven days a week and if you think it sounds like too "lil" food, order two.

RJ's has perhaps the best lunch special in town. That 3 oz. of meat is plenty for any meal, not just lunch.
