Slope’s BBQ – Cumming, GA
In the interest of full disclosure, I’m a barbecue snob. I’ve known it for a while, but today really drove the point home. When I leave this much on a plate, it’s just not a good sign.. Slopes’s BBQ has been on a secondary list of Atlanta area barbecue joints since July of 2010. They […]
The Nest – Kennesaw, GA
Unless you can read small print, you’d be hard pressed to know that The Nest is a barbecue place. Unless, as you were driving down Cherokee Street, heading into downtown Kennesaw, you saw the two smokers below on the street. That may be why they are there, as opposed to in the parking lot out […]
Greater Good BBQ – Atlanta, GA
The Greater Good wasn’t our original lunch destination. Working off my original list, we were heading toward Queen of Sheba, an Ethiopian spot that’s been on my list for almost 12 years. I googled the address and the hours (not wanting to show up some place that was only open for dinner) and was surprised […]
B’s Cracklin’Barbecue – Atlanta, GA
Several months back, I heard that someone was smoking whole hog barbecue in northwest Atlanta. I made a mental note and figured that I would hear more about it and get there soon enough. Two months passed by when I saw an online article from Atlanta magazine about pitmaster Bryan Furman, at B’s Cracklin’ Barbecue, […]
Dreamland Barbecue – Duluth, GA
The newest location of Tuscaloosa’s Dreamland Bar-B-Que opened in the renovation of downtown Duluth’s Parson’s Alley, last summer. The northeast side of town has been without a Dreamland since the Peachtree Corners location burned down several years ago. At one time, there were three Atlanta locations – with the opening of this one, there are […]
Hattie Marie’s – College Park, GA
After roaming around with my beloved on a Friday morning, we stopped by her sister’s house, as we were getting ready for lunch. She mentioned that a new barbecue place had opened in downtown College Park last week. We happened to be in the area around lunch time today. Coincidence? I think not. Off we […]
Leonard’s Pit Barbecue – Memphis, TN
As we headed back home from Little Rock, it looked like we would be driving through Memphis around lunch. This was completely unplanned. I looked at the list for options and, being Sunday, there were limited options. Coming through, on the south side, at lunch time (see their hours above) narrowed it down to one […]
Knoth’s Bar-B-Que, Grand Rivers, KY
Heading from Nashville toward Paducah, we stopped at the Kentucky visitors center on I-24 and asked if there were any barbecue places in that part of the state serving mutton (this is a “thing” in the Owensboro area of Kentucky). The lady said that she thought that Knoth’s Bar-B-Que, over in Grand River, might and […]
Bleu House Market – Norcross, GA
I love the chance to meet one of my girls for lunch. And when the lunch spot, unbeknownst to us, ends up being a barbecue spot, it’s a double win. Looking for some place new to try, one of her co-workers told her that the Market, in Norcross, was her “kind of place”. Unsure what […]
