Heirloom Market – Atlanta, GA

A friend sent me a review of this “new” barbecue place near Marietta (it’s in that “odd part” of the city of Atlanta where I-75 & I-285 intersect) and asked me if I’d been.  The AJC only gave it two stars, but I kept it in mind.  One Saturday night, Jo and I were over […]

Smokin’ Joes Rib Ranch and RV Park – Davis, OK

Okay, on to one of my favorite barbecue joints in the universe – Smokin’ Joe’s Rib Ranch.  Let me go ahead and say this – I am biased towards this place.  The only times I go, I’m bound to be with my favorite people.  And these pictures are from visits in both 2010 and 2011. […]

But the kicker was, it was only available on Monday nights. So one Monday evening, after the girls went back to college, Jo and I headed downtown. […]

Garden Produce & Country Store – Stone Mountain, GA – CLOSED

As we headed home I knew this would be the perfect opportunity to stop by Garden Produce & Country Store. The Country Store had recently been written up in Atlanta magazine, […]
