WACO, TX — The gathered crowds broke out into deafening cheers as smoke rose from Buc-ee's this afternoon, indicating fresh brisket was on the board.
Anticipation had reached a fever pitch when wisps of smoke began to emanate from the Buc-ee's chimney, with several onlookers breaking down in tears of joy.
"Glory be!" cried local man Bill Denton, who was filling up his truck when the excitement broke out. "Suddenly, everything feels right with the world again. It's like I finally found something I didn't know I was missing. And that something is a delicious sliced brisket sandwich with extra pickles. Also, maybe some jerky."
"We have a new brisket!" called out the Buc-ee's line cook as the crowd gathered round to begin the celebration. "It's official. One at a time, folks. Everyone will get a turn to welcome him. Don't forget the beaver nuggets."
At publishing time, the crowds had again erupted into cheers after the dessert lady set out a new block of fudge.
The USA undeniably trumps our neighbors to the north.
