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

Howdy everyone...here's hoping that every one is well and in good spirits. I'm preparing to hit the road for a trip down to Lubbock, Texas for the OU vs. Texas Tech Big 12 Slobber Knocker Saturday. The game is at 11:30 a.m. on Fox Sports Southwest. It's a nice haul to Lubbock but after working for the "Big Cowboy" a 5 hour or so drive is no hill for a stepper.

Business has been good in our on line store and we are cranking out your orders quickly. I still encourage you to order early so that there are no issues with shipments arriving by the holidays. We are still offering FREE SHIPPING via Federal Express on many items and these products make great stocking stuffers or are just great to enjoy for yourself.

We've gotten awesome feedback on how much better our Beef Jerky is due to the new cooking process so you might want to check that out. 

Here's some BBQ'ed Random Thoughts....  more »

Happy Monday to all. I watched a bunch of football and wrestling this weekend which wasn't a bad thing. Our business in JR's Family BBQ has been good and I spent a fair amount of time there both Friday and Saturday. I really enjoy talking with our guests who are usually long time wrestling fans or football fans which are two subjects with which I enjoy conversing.  

Many of you are being proactive and are ordering now for the holidays. Good thinking. We have a good supply of inventory and are actively shipping your orders as quickly as possible. Many times within 24 hours of receiving them here on line. 

If you live in our area, we have signed bottles of sauce in the store for only $3.99. 

For those of you ordering personally autographed JR's Cookbooks, I encourage you to order early as we will have to stop taking orders for the holidays to be able to get them to you. I try and write a little something extra in every book sold so I can assure you that I'm not going through the motions. I have so much respect for each of you and sincerely appreciate your business that words can't describe it. Hopefully, a simply "thank you" will do. 

So let's kick off this blog with some BBQ'ed random thoughts......      more »

What a great Saturday here in Norman. Texas A&M visits OU tonight at 6 on Fox Sports Southwest. I'll be on the Sooner sideline black with hat in tow hoping my team can become bowl eligible and win what I think will be a much tougher game Big 12 than than do the experts. OU -20 is insane.

The Mrs. and I attended the Oklahoma Womens Basketball official season opener last night. We have season tickets on the first row on the floor which are really primo. Got lucky there.

Our meeting with the great folks from the Homeland Grocery store chain went amazingly well Friday. We will be doing a 4 store test in the four Homeland Grocery stores in Norman within the next few weeks and then who knows how things will grow? Let's hear it for the home team!

1560 The Game's radio remote went super from JR's in Norman and we had a who's who of guests Friday afternoon. Houston's big sports talk station really promoted this site and our 1560 Game Blitz is worth checking out as you get three items and free shipping for &15.60!

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 »

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 »

What a weekend with our quick trip down to Dallas for the Oklahoma vs. Texas college football game that saw my Sooners lose ugly 16-13 against their arch rivals in their 104th meeting that might have been different if OU's Heisman Trophy winning QB Sam Bradford hadn't gone down with another shoulder injury in the 1st quarter. But that's football and injuries are a part of the game. Congrats to the 'Horns on the win. I'm sure that I will hear it at work on Tuesday as I always do when OU loses as some relish in the misfortunes of others and like to be obnoxious jackasses. I have learned over the years to simply blow it off and put these folks on "ignore."

We are doing a somewhat steady flow of business in our on line store which totally funds this website. The more business we do the longer we can continue to grow the site which I enjoy interacting with you on several days a week. So, your business with us is not only needed and viable but much appreciated. more »

Thanks for all the well wishes regarding my wife Jan and my 16th wedding anniversary which was Monday October 12. Who said it wouldn't last?! I'm a lucky man and I have enjoyed the past few days celebrating this milestone, in wrestling years being married to the same person for 16 years is like 50 years to "normal" folks, and we will continue to enjoy this week as we travel down to Dallas on Thursday to prep for the Red River Rivalry, the Oklahoma-Texas game on Saturday at 11 a.m. central time on ABC.

Business in our on line store is steady and today would be a great day to place your orders as we will ship them out in a matter of hours to the USA via Federal Express. Many of our sales packages include FREE SHIPPING! But wait, there's more..  more »
