Johnny Mitchell’s Smokehouse – Cartersville, GA
About two years back, we had dinner at Johnny Mitchell’s Smokehouse, at their original incarnation in Euharlee. We were in Cartersville the weekend after the 4th of July and looking for lunch, when I remembered that they had moved. We headed over, late in the lunch hour, and found a fairly empty restaurant. My beloved […]
Scott’s Pit Cooked Bar-B-Q – Hemingway, SC
For the last eight years, I’ve been wanting to eat barbecue at Scott’s Variety. But it is slap dab in the middle of nowhere – 80 miles north of Charleston and 100 miles east of Columbia. Not to mention more than 300 miles from home… I just couldn’t find an excuse to get there. The […]
Jim’s Smokin Que – Blairsville, GA
We’re coming to you today near the end of the Six Gap trail, in Blairsville, with lunch at Jim’s Smokin Que. This spot comes to us courtesy of a Trip Advisor ranking of barbecue joints from a couple of years back, in which they ranked fairly highly, nationally. Being on Six Gap trail, there were […]
Midway BBQ – Buffalo, SC (Photo Blog Post)
The dish, two above, is chicken stew – the reason we went to Midway, in Buffalo, SC. 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.
Jack’s Bar-B-Que – Nashville, TN
Not realizing that there was a free New Year’s Eve concert in downtownNashville, we headed down to Broadway to grab some lunch. That explained the cordoned off streets and exorbitant parking (at noon). We found a paid lot next to the Ryman and walked down to Broadway in the drizzle. We turned the corner past […]
18th & Vine BBQ – Dallas, TX (Photo Blog Posts)
Heading back to DFW after some meetings, I was struck with the brilliant idea to swing by Pecan Lodge, for what are (potentially) the greatest burnt ends on earth. Tragically, they close at 3:00 on Wednesdays, so my hopes were dashed. My taste buds were now set for burnt ends, so I consulted the Texas […]
Bub-Ba-Q – Woodstock, GA
Bub-Ba-Q is a place that popped onto my radar with an Atlanta Magazine article from July of 2010 which, after their ranking of the top 5 BBQ places, listed the other places they had tried, by county. This list was invaluable, providing places I had no idea about. Now Cherokee County isn’t a place […]
Jackie Hite’s Bar-B-Q – Batesburg-Leesville, SC
We first tried to eat at Jackie Hites Bar-B-Q several years ago. I can’t tell you exactly when it was, but I do know that it was a Tuesday. “How do I know”, you ask? My notes are very clear (in BOLD CAPS) that they are closed for lunch on Tuesday. They’re pretty clear […]
