J.R.'s Family Bar-B-Q

 

It's "hump day" and the day that I will do two radio shows, one at 3:30 central on 1400 KREF here in Norman and then at 5 p.m. on www.1560thegame.com on the highly rated Sean and John show. 

We're working on some new offers in our on line store as we gear up for the holidays. I will be personally, autographing JR's Cookbook which means that I will customize it to your order. We will begin this in a few days but it will be for a limited time only and will end on December 12. So if you have a wrestling fan in your midst and want me to personalize them a JR's Cookbook now is your chance. These books will be $19.88 and that includes FREE SHIPPING in the USA.

We're also going to do a 1560 The Game Blitz Package with our pals down in Houston that includes 1 bottle of HOT JR's BBQ Sauce that will be signed by yours truly, a bag of our awesome Beef Jerky and a FREE sample of our JR's Dry Rub. This one will sell for $15.60 and includes FREE SHIPPING. 

Stay tuned for all the great specials coming your way and I have decided to keep our Power Slam, Triple Threat and Jerky Mania offers up and running thru the holidays but I do encourage you to shop early. 

Here's a sampling of some BBQ'ed Feedback....  more »

Happy Tuesday...good of you to check out our site. We appreciate the visit and hope that you consider placing an order while you are here.

As you can see, I'm blogging more than normal because of my decreased travel schedule these days. Blogging keeps me busy plus I enjoy writing.

We've updated our Q&A Section of the site FYI.

I'll also be writing later today for WWE.com about Raw and other WWE oriented things. I hope that you'll pay them a visit.

BBQ'ed Random Thoughts hot out of the smoker....  more »

Good day everyone! Hope everybody's well and thanks for stopping by our site. 

It was really a beautiful weekend in Norman, Oklahoma Saturday and Sunday which turned into a fun, football weekend, too. Nice win by OU against a much better than expected, well coached K-State team Saturday and now it's on to the great football town of Lincoln, Nebraska this Saturday night for another chapter in the OU-Cornhusker rivalry. I hope to attend my first ever game in Lincoln if all goes well this week on the health front. That's one of my goal's for the week...feel good enough to make the trip up I35 north to Huskerland. 

Business has been steady in our on line store and many orders will be sent out today via Federal Express. It looks as if we will likely not be able to guarantee Holiday orders to be delivered before Xmas that are placed with us AFTER December 17 or so. We're still working on that exact date but let's use December 17 for now and I hope we can encourage you to not only use our products for unique and affordable holiday gifts but to order early to make sure that you get delivery of your products. 

Here's some random thoughts for you to BBQ....   more »

It's a perfect, football Saturday here in Norman with clear, blue skies and temps in the mid 60's as I write this and prepare to attend tonight's OU vs. K-State Big 12 Conference tilt which airs at 6 central on Fox Sports Southwest. I will join "my team" on the Sooner sideline for the game so look for the black hat. :)

Another HUGE game in Oklahoma tonight is on ABC with Okie State hosting Texas in Stillwater where they have finally sold every seat available in the newly renovated T. Boone Pickens Stadium in arguably the biggest game, perhaps ever, at the Brisco Brothers alma mater. Dusty Rhodes, noted Longhorn fan, and Gerry Brisco have a friendly wager on this game with "The Dream" laying 20 points and taking his 'Horns. The official spread is 9...not that I would be keeping track of such info.   

Sunday will be another "football day" full of key NFL action especially the Vikings vs. the Packers from Lambeau Field as Bret Favre returns with more angst in Green Bay than Larry David would have attending a Catholic Church service based on a recent "Curb Your Enthusiasm" episode.

Our on line business has been brisk and my sister in law, who handles our shipping, has remained diligent in getting your orders out via Federal Express within hours of receiving them. We sure appreciate your business. We'll gladly take your order this weekend and ship it Monday.

Don 't forget that our products will make great holiday gifts and for those that read this blog in the OKC/Norman area or any where within driving distance of our place that we are slow, hickory smoking, 14 pound Thanksgiving turkeys this year but you have to sign up for them by dropping by JR's in Norman or calling 405-360-4227 (4BBQ).

Good day everyone. It's homecoming week here in Norman as the Sooners host the Kansas State Wildcats, the alma mater of Mr. Hughes, this Saturday night.

JR's BBQ joint should be rocking this weekend not only in the store but for tailgate packs and to go orders. To Go orders are not to be confused with the noted member of the wrestling group formerly known as Kaientai, Dick Togo. 

On line sales are brisk, they could always be better, but we are happy with your support and Federal Express is doing a great job with our FREE shipping throughout the United States. Check it out and place your order today. 

The Beef Jerky sales have really escalated and the 97% Fat Free product cut from the eye of round is really tasty and a healthy snack unless one happens to be a vegan. Plus, the Jerky is quick and easy to ship and has a viable shelf life. I love it and it keeps me from eating so much bad stuff as I like the protein intake and the low carb aspect of the product.

Thanks for stopping by our site and spending a few minutes. These opportunities to communicate with you are cathartic and I hope that you enjoy my ramblings and personal opinion. I am often amused at how my opinions are interpreted on other sites but that's another story for another time.

Business has been steady in our on line store thanks to many of you who are hanging with us in support of what we are trying to build. That means a lot to us, I can assure you.

So, without further ado, let's get to an another addition of BBQ'ed Random Thoughts.... more »

Let's hope that everyone is having a good day. Thanks for stopping by our site and for telling friends about us. We also want to thank you for your continued business in our on line store that is still offering FREE SHIPPING on many great packages including our custom made, 97% FAT FREE,  J.R.'s Original Beef Jerky. We are also still doing solid biz with our two BBQ Sauces and the Chipolte Ketchup which is really becoming popular. This Friday we have our meeting with the good folks at Homeland Groceries based in OKC and we hope to get some positive news on that front of getting our products in 4 stores in Norman, Oklahoma to test market. 

I'm trying to stay as busy as I can to keep my mind off of other challenges which seem to be prevalent.     more »

Just watched Bragging Rights and enjoyed the presentation especially the show closing 60 Minute Iron Man Match. 

Having a little "J.R.'s BBQ" during the festivities certainly added to the moment on an event that I would have loved to have been a part.    more »

Hope everyone's having a great Saturday. As I write this on my trusty Blackberry, I am on an Oklahoma team bus in route from KC to Lawrence and will be on the Sooner sideline later today for an important Big 12 Conference football game. Yep, my neurologist cleared my travel because the flight was only 40 minutes and I'm drive home after the game w/ friends. Here's the latest. I had a MRI Friday on my brain and inner ear and will get the result, hopefully, Monday afternoon. Hopefully, that will be good news. more »

Firstly, I am absolutely overwhelmed by the amount of feedback we have received here on our site regarding my third "Street Fight" with Bells palsy. Your out pouring of support has been amazing and is the best medicine a guy could have. I have had an emotional time reading thru many of the emails that we have received but the tears I have shed have been tears of happiness. Here's the latest....   more »
