Southern U.S. BBQ Trip May 2015

Good morning

I usually post on the Europe boards but we just finished a two week road trip in the southern U.S. - Atlanta, Nashville, Asheville, Charleston and Savannah. Had a great time and I will post more details later but here are the photos

Happy travels!

Thanks. How'd you like Daddy D's?

Any comments on variations of BBQ by state?

Really enjoyed Daddy D'z! We thought it was much more flavourful than Fox Bros! Our favourite was Barrelhouse the Lynchburg, although my favourite BBQ sauce was at Peg Leg Porkers! Best pork sandwich was Finchers in Macon!

Had a great time sampling all the different types...appreciated them all! Only like the vinegar sauce on pulled pork, but I think that's how it is enjoyed anyway.

Can't go wrong with good BBQ!

More to come...

Wait! You didn't come to NC? Let me know if you want to come. I'll take you to all the hot spots. I know way more about barbecue than I should!

So fun, jamikins - I live in Nashville, but was in Italy when you were here! I actually haven't been to Peg Leg yet but maybe I should. Did you get to Martin's while you were here?

Many years ago, we went to and loved Fat Matt's in Atlanta. Did you make it there?

We also loved pulled pork in vinegar sauce when we were in Virginia. Even better than "red" barbecue sauce.

Doing a barbecue road trip is on our bucket list.

We only have favorites here, no superfluous vowels in our "or" words on this side of the pond.

BigRuss, if your comment was meant to make yourself look like an a$$, congratulations, you succeeded.

BigRuss - I beg to differ, as a Canadian (Canada is on your side of the pond) we do have superfluous letters in our 'ou' words...as does the UK, where I live. Do you change the spelling of your words when you post on the Europe board? What a silly comment.

Jamikins, glad to catch up with your trip to the south of the US. We just returned from a trip to Nashville, Memphis, and Little Rock, AR. We'll be following your report and, hopefully, posting a report of our trip. Really like your pics.
