Cassia County Idaho has a Righteous Barbecue Joint

Ever have brisket that melts in your mouth?  I’m telling you, that’s the case with PiggySue Bar-B-Que out of Albion.  I was invited to a Mini-Cassia Chamber of Commerce after-hours party at Elite Restoration while on vacation.  PiggySue catered for the event.  I could tell it was popular because the serving table was mobbed.  I’m also told the stand that serves as home base is mobbed in Albion, which is a lovely small town some of us would consider for retirement or if we could work from home.

I wasn’t planning on dinner since I had just finished eating at another meeting.  Chamber President Penne Main suggested I take some home.  Which I did.

It became lunch the next day and when that first taste of brisket dissolved, I knew I was eating something special.  Also, I like the use of pasta shells for the macaroni and cheese, which I should add was a very large portion.

As I understand from reading the PiggySue Facebook page, there’s a local campaign to bring Guy Fieri to Albion for a taste.  He doesn’t mind the travel.  In the past, Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives have visited just across the state line in Utah.

One last point on dining in Cassia County.  The only reason I didn’t eat the brisket at the event is that I had just finished eating nearby at Stevo’s.  Where a basket of fries is best described as a bushel.  You can get the fries seasoned and even the fry sauce seasoned.  I highly recommend the Greek salad.
