Taylor’d Bar-B-Q – Avondale Estates, GA
In a recent article from Eater Atlanta, I found a barbecue place of which I had not heard – Taylor’d Bar-B-Q, in Avondale Estates. Housed in the building that was previously MoBetta Wings, this former competition barbecue team (headed by Josh McDowell) opened Taylor’d in July, 2020, in the heart of the pandemic. We asked […]
Jones Bar-B-Q Diner – Marianna, AR
A barbecue place that opens at 7:00 am, and doesn’t sell “breakfast foods”? I’m in. Open for 114 years (Yep – you read that right – one hundred and fourteen years!) and run by the fourth generation of the Jones family, this may be the oldest BBQ spot in the country. Located in a neighborhood, […]
Central BBQ – Memphis, TN
As we continued the journey, barbecue stop number two was Central B-B-Q, in Memphis. I didn’t realize until I went out to take a picture of the sign that we were one block from the Lorraine Motel and the National Civil Rights Museum. We visited this a decade or so ago, and it is powerful […]
A & R Bar-B-Q – Memphis, TN
Stop number one on the Eclipse barbecue scramble was A&R Bar-B-Q on Elvis Presley Blvd. Located on the end of a strip mall in an unassuming storefront, you’re confronted with the counter as soon as you walk in. The first thing I noticed was the happy hour frozen drink specials. This is a ‘cue place […]
Westside Bar-B-Que & Cakes – New Albany, MS
For the last 10 years, I’ve had Westside Bar-B-Que (& Cakes) in New Albany, Mississippi, on my list. And we’ve driven thru New Albany at least twelve times, over those years. But we were never there on the right day. We always are driving thru on Wednesday or Monday, going to or from the Walnut […]
Owens and Hull at Grand Champion – Smyrna, GA
This restaurant does not accept cash. Earlier in the week, I saw an article in Eater Atlanta about a new barbecue place that had opened on the west side, Owens and Hull, and thought to myself, I’ll have to try that soon. I had actually thought about driving over one day for lunch, from […]
Elmer’s BBQ – Tulsa, OK
It’s the week that ends in the third weekend in September, so our general answer to any question is, “I can’t. I’m going to Winfield.” Except when the question is, “what’s for lunch?” On the way westward, more often than not, the answer to that question is barbecue. We were on day two of the […]
Slow Fire Barbecue – Savannah, GA
There was a recent article in Texas Monthly (you can read a few free articles in TM per month – I try to make mine about barbecue) about the brisket boom in the Southeast. It referenced Lewis Barbecue (in Charleston, which we loved), others in SC and one Georgia spot – Slow Fire Barbecue, in […]
C.H.O.P. (Clay’s House of Pig) – East Tupelo, MS
>As we were driving to Kansas, it was approaching lunch time and we were in Mississippi. I put “barbecue” into Google maps and several popped up. Clay’s House of Pig (C.H.O.P.) had the best name and was not too far off I-40, so off we went. Pulling up to a restaurant that shares space with […]
BigUns Barbecue – Talking Rock, GA (Photo Blog Post)
As I didn’t get around to posting this timely and I can’t remember all the details of the meal, I’m now posting this restaurant as a photo blog.
