Someone tried, tried mind you, to rob E&L Barbeque this week in a rather humorous fashion:
E&L posted these videos and the following message on its Facebook page:
E&L BarBQue was robbed last night at midnight by this amateur! So far, these are the best pictures we have. We will be searching through more security footage to see if we can get a better one.
The video is actually hysterical 😂
He fell through multiple areas of our ceiling walking around up there, crawled around on the floor like he was in Mission Impossible and EVEN cooked himself DINNER!
He tried to bust our security monitor, but wasn't smart enough to bust the hard drive where all the evidence is stored.
This is not the model you want to follow if you want to successfully rob a business!
Help us find this guy!

The best part of this crime happening was learning that E&L is white-owned. Who knew?!
Clearly a case of cultural appropriation. What are we going to do about it? Something done got to be did.
When did E&L become white owned?
The taste and quality of food has declined tremendously since “they” acquired ownership. That’s probably why this fella took it upon himself to cook it the right way. Between Gator’s, Sylvester’s, Ray’s, and convenient store BBQ pits around Jackson, E&L might as well lock the door or let this fella buy them out.
Well, her husband is black, so it's half-black. But who cares, it's good!
When will you people stop saying 'convenient' store?
Mr. Mickens; To your outlandish point...I don't have any issue buying what I need if it's in an establishment owned by a black person; however, I am not going deep into the hood in search of my purchases.
I get my tailoring done by a Chinese woman. I go to JCP at Dogwood and rarely see a white clerk and don't know who owns the place.
I go to places like Walgreens, the gas station and the paint store but have never thought about who might actually own those places. I shop at Lowes, Home Depot and Wal Mart too but the owners don't live anywhere around here.
I rarely have to go to a 'shoe cobbler' any more but when I do, it's owned by a black guy and is on 51 in Ridgeland.
A Chinese woman checks my vision every other year and probably has half-interest (at least) in the frame shop that's attached.
I bought my last three cars from a guy named Dynamite at Herrin-Gear. I'll let you guess Dynamite's race. I always ask for him by name.
Other than the food purchases you mention, I'm not sure what all else I buy on a regular basis besides what I listed.
If I needed a Zoot Suit I'd probably drive up to Canton where there are plenty displayed in the windows.
Tell me what business you own and I might swing by.
BBQ in Jackson is disappointing to say the least. If there were more competition there might be a really first class place to enjoy BBQ and entertainment, like Red Hot and Blues tried years ago. Maybe a good BBQ contest held each year would help. This guy could enter and maybe find his true calling in life. It sure ain't burglary.
It is hard to find high quality BBQ in Jackson or at least I don't where to find it. I sometimes make the short drive to Louise's Pit BBQ in Crystal Springs. No idea who owns it and don't care. Their meat is best when I see the smoke boiling out of the chimney so I know it's fresh off the fire.
Sylvester's chicken and ribs on HW 18 near Raymond are pretty good although a little sweet to my taste, and the smoked steaks at Wynndale Steakhouse on Terry Road are good if you like the taste of hickory smoked meat.
Damn, now I'm hungry.
We not going to talk about the nice lady with the stolen gun, accidentally shooting someone?

I'm having a colonoscopy done & haven't eaten solid food in two days. Have mercy!
Sweet Daddys is about the best even if it's in the convenience stores. The receipe is about the same as it was when Sweet Daddy did the cooking on the pit outside the gas station at the corner of I55 and Northside. Canton has acouple of joints worth trying too.
Burglary, robbery, what's the difference....
Moral of this story: give a man a plate of barbecue and he will eat for a day. Teach same dude to plop down through a restaurant roof and...well, he still only gets one meal...maybe he needs to refine his burglarizing skills.
One burglarizes a building or dwelling.
one robs a person.
robbery generally gets harsher punishment.

Everyone needs a zoot suit. Everyone.

D & D BBQ was my south Jackson fave. The first time I stepped in, a hush fell across the room. I saw the civil rights memorabilia, the stack of Jackson Advocates, and the fact I was the Only Whitey.
I learned 2 important lessons there:
1. "Pan trout" is not cooked in a pan, nor is it trout; and
2. get the ribs.
That is all.
Sonny's BBQ with two locations on 80 can't be beat. But it's white owned. They serve beer too and most don't.
Sonny's, like Crechale's, is slap dab in the middle of the 80-Hood but has excellent BBQ ribs and chicken. Just don't get so full you can't run through the parking lot to your truck.
Sonny's closed their "80-Hood" location several years ago. I assume you don't go down there much 7:55 a.m.
Sorry to hear that, 7:45. I enjoyed Sonnys as did thousands of others, especially travelers and conventioneers staying at the Old Holiday Inn South for the past fifty years. Shit happens. Times change. Hoods run people off. Thanks again.
