I recall that photo as a kid. Iconic. Not sure why but I was a fan of his.
My wife is from Marshall originally. Tough town back in the 60s and early 70s from what I gather. I thought growing up in DFW was rough during desegregation, but apparently Marshall was over the top.
I've been to Porkys (supposedly the best of the McNeely legacy restaurants... My wife goes on about that family split and differences in the spinoffs), next time in Dallas give the pecan lodge a try. Really good bbq
When we're in Longview we go to The Catch. Very good stuff.
