Want some barbecue? Better recite the Pledge of Allegiance first.

OK, not really. Reciting the Pledge isn't compulsory in order to eat.

 

Yet.

The Most Patriotic BBQ Joint In America

 

This may look like your typical barbecue joint. But, every day at noon, Mission BBQ transforms into the most patriotic barbecue place out there. 

 

Mission BBQ has 13 locations, but, the Virginia Beach location is very special because it is located between Norfolk Naval Base - which is the world's largest Navy base - and Naval Air Station Oceana. So, these owners decided to show their patriotism with a tribute that sets this location apart from all the others.

 

At noon, over the loud speaker, you will here a voice asking all patrons to please stand and join in the singing of our national anthem. And, it does not stop there: the walls are covered with photographs and memorabilia from the military, local police and firefighters. That puts Mission BBQ on our list of places to check out.

The pledge of allegiance…to BBQ

 

A Maryland-based barbecue chain proudly hailed its first Richmond restaurant Monday.

 

Mission BBQ opened for business yesterday at 5440 Glenside Drive, next to the former Kmart space. The opening occurred shortly after noon, when guests and workers paused for the National Anthem. The patriotic gesture takes place every day at noon at all Mission locations.

What's next, not being allowed to buy or work unless you pledge allegiance to the Beast? Oh... wait.

[CHecker]

Well, I'd say it'd be on my list of "places to avoid". Who needs the stress for BBQ, might be good BBQ but there's other places. 

[Miss Bea]

Good place to avoid!

We might soon need a Barbeque liaison committee so that we can find places to eat.

That sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen...
