.. I think I got this list from the HPBA website. Their annual trade show
is in Atlanta Feb 23-26.

Good luck and report back which of these are the real thing!

I'm surprised not to see Fat Matt's on the list. Don't bother with
it, though. It's not very good.

Check this place out. The atmosphere is great, and the food is pretty good
too. I've only eaten there once, but it was good. I think this place used
to be called "The Georgia Pig".

That list has some of the big name places on it. There are also a ton of
small "joints" that serve any style you can imagine.
Do you know what part of town you'l be in? Also what style of Q do you
prefer?
I live about 45 mins from north ATL and would be glad to ask around to see
where folks go down there. (I usually go north, east, or west for Q so I
can't say for myself)
hlep if I can,

I am going to go from the Airport to the Renaissance Waverly Hotel.
Not quite sure where that is situated in Atlanta.
