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.
Mud Creek Bar-B-Que – Hollywood, AL (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. I can say that Hollywood, AL, is a town with a population and this restaurant, opened in 1946, was part of a Saturday journey down the […]
50 Taters – Scottsboro, AL
A barbecue place that advertises on the “North Alabama barbecue trail” but calls itself comfort food, on their signage, does not portend well. Nonetheless, our second stop, after Dale’s BBQ, was to give 50 Taters a try. With two strikes against it (giant parking lot filled with vehicles that were not trucks / building not […]
Dale’s BBQ – Boaz, AL
On a ridiculously hot Saturday, I decided we needed to explore a section of the “North Alabama Barbecue Trail”. Being slightly OCD, I do enjoy a good list – one that I can check things off of, as I complete them. I was guided to the existence of this list by a podcast episode of […]
TDT BBQ – Mableton, GA (Photo Blog Post)
For the second time in the last six weeks, I saw a reference to TDT Barbecue in an on line article (this one from Eater.com about the best gas station food in Atlanta.) New Year’s Eve was the day to give it a try. As I didn’t get around to posting this timely and I […]
Pink Pig – Cherry Log, GA (Quick Bite)
For years, Pink Pig Barbecue, in Cherry Log, has been on my list, but we always seem to be trying to get somewhere, on time, when we’re driving that part of 575/515. Today, we had time and I decided it was our day to give it a try. Owned and operated by the Holloway family […]
