Jason Wells+FollowRound Rock’s Smokey Mo’s BBQ faces rat controversy before ThanksgivingHundreds of families picked up their Thanksgiving turkeys from Smokey Mo’s BBQ in Round Rock, but behind the scenes, county health inspectors found rat droppings and gaps in doors just weeks before the holiday rush.

The restaurant insists the claims are baseless and says it’s cooperating with health officials. For a place so many trust for holiday meals, how much do health inspections influence your dining choices? Would you still order from a spot with recent pest issues? #Food #RoundRock #Thanksgiving00Share

Even though turkey eggs are richer and creamier, they just aren’t practical for farmers or your wallet. No wonder we stick to the bird, not the eggs, for the holiday feast! #Food #Thanksgiving #TurkeyTalk00Share
