A glimpse of the goodness of God in a Blue Dot

Today was Caleb's first trip to Blue Dot BBQ. Brian called earlier this afternoon and asked if we would mind going to get one for him, Pops, Jake, and Rob. (They are all finishing up the house today.)

If you aren't familiar with the Blue Dot-- where've you been, seriously? =) I kid, I kid. The Blue Dot is a quaint little "restaurant (if you could call it that)" off of Devilliers Street. There is no sign outside to let you know that you have arrived; you just have to know someone that has been there before in order to know where it is.

I myself had never eaten a Blue Dot burger, but I had heard (from my wonderful dad, brother, and husband) about the burgers and could not wait to taste and see for myself. Mom had never eaten one either and so this was a special treat for her as well. (If at this point, you're thinking, "what's the big deal? It's just a burger?" I will dismiss your silly comment and implore you to try one and see.

When we arrived to the house and sat down (in the dining room on the new tile floor!), I think that we all savored the delicious Blue Dot and quietly in my heart, I sat grateful to God for a glimpse of His goodness in tasting this burger. Yum-o! Praise You, Father!

Here are some photos to document Caleb's experience inside the Blue Dot:

Is it our turn to order?

Ahh, the simplicity. Yes, folks, this is where it happens.

A man comes out into the room where everyone is lined up (some murmuring about the goodness of this anything-but-glamorous-place to a first time visitor) to take 5-8 people's order. Oh, and by the way, it isn't "just like you like it" and you can't "have it your way." No sir. The burgers come one way.... You CAN get things like tomatoes or onions left off of the burger, but nothing added. This man does not write anything down. He remembers everyone's order and serves it up when it's ready (which is about 15-20 minutes). Everything is made to order and when they run out of food, they close the shop. They aren't open everyday, but you can call before you go.
