The store had two signs. It was called \u201cBrown\u2019s Store\u201d according to Coca-Cola, \u201cBrown\u2019s Grocery\u201d according to Dr. Pepper. I never heard anybody call it \u201cBrown\u2019s Grocery\u201d\u2014not once.\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>

\u201cAnd gimme a Coke.\u201d<\/em><\/p>

\u201cWhat kind of Coke you want?\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>

I guess that settles that.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>

Moe Black was Buddy\u2019s daughter, and she made the sandwiches. She cut the bologna on a severe diagonal. Over its width, your slice went from roughly the height of the Lascassas telephone directory down to one of its pages. If you asked for two, you could turn them crosswise so your top bread wouldn\u2019t slide off.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>

Sundays after church it was Nascar, not football, on the store\u2019s big-screen TV. This was before LCDs, and that picture probably had 55 gallons of vacuum tube behind it. And of course it was Nascar. Back then, Nashville didn\u2019t even have a team. Dale Earnhardt wasn\u2019t even dead.<\/em><\/p>

If you haven\u2019t fat-washed a spirit before: be not afraid. Melt 4 ounces of pork fat\u2014lard or bacon grease\u2014and while it\u2019s still hot, pour it into a pint jar with 8 ounces of whiskey. For this drink, I used freshly rendered leaf lard and Mellow Corn for the whiskey. Give the jar a good shake, let it cool to room temperature, then stick it in the fridge overnight. The next day, poke a hole through the cap of congealed fat and pour the whiskey through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a fresh container. You now have pork fat-washed whiskey. Lucky you.\u00a0<\/p>

Ingredients:<\/p>

1.5 oz. pork fat-washed corn whiskey or bourbon<\/p>

0.5 oz. Luxardo<\/p>

Coca-Cola<\/p>

distilled white vinegar<\/p>

maraschino cherry<\/p>

Instructions:\u00a0<\/p>

Spoon a cherry and an extra spoonful of the maraschino juice into the bottom of a Nick and Nora glass. Shake the whiskey and Luxardo with ice and strain into the glass. Top with a generous splash of Coke, then add one barspoon of the vinegar and give the drink a gentle stir to mix.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
