This location, now run by the third generation of Underwoods, is the only one remaining of dozens of Underwood’s barbecue restaurants that spanned much of Texas and two other states.

It was Sunday and we drove to Early on that beautiful Central Texas day. It was clear with blue skies and some light puffy clouds, and the day was pleasant to look at so long as you were in the air conditioning and not out in it for very long. Sunday is one of the only days we leave downtown. Once we’re up and going on Sunday sometimes we drive out to Early and go to Butterbeans, which is an antique/junk store and that’s what we were doing on this Sunday. After Butterbeans we drive the handful of miles back to Brownwood and we go to Ricochet, which is another antique shop we like.

Cooks used shovels to stir fajita fixin’s on an oversized, homemade wok provided by Charles Malone during the Wok to Remember evening hosted by Cottonwood Church at the Dublin City Park on July 13. (Never fear, the volunteer chefs assured that the shovels were purchased to be cooking utensils and have never been used for any other purpose!) The industrial-grade equipment was fortunate as crowds filled the basketball court for an evening of food, fellowship and live music. Paul Gaudette | Citizen staff photo.
