Okay,

So I'm flying in to Charlotte on Biz for 3 days starting tomorrow.

Gonna take my colleague Matt with me up toward Lexington tomorrow
night to get some 'Cue. I've had a taste at LEXINGTON BARBECUE,
SPEEDY'S, THE BARBECUE CENTER and JIMMY'S on previous trips.

Was thinking of either trying Stamey's or going to Jimmy's for dinner
tomorrow night.

What do ya think?

Also, If I go for Stamey's, which one? Tyro or Lexington?

I'd vote for Jimmy's, CJ. I'm always happy to point folks to my BBQ
tour web site,
http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~thc/bbqtour/lexington.html.

I rated Jimmy's #1 and Stamey's #2 of the Lexington Six-Pack.

Two disclaimers:
1. This tour was in 1998. Things may have changed since then.
2. I have read (don't remember where) that Jimmy's is now using gas
smokers, with just a little burning wood added for smoke flavor.
For all I know, Jimmy was already doing that when I was there in
1998.

OK, a third disclaimer:
3. If you read the reviews of the Lex 6-Pack, you'll see that my
wife didn't like Stamey's as much as I did, and she rated Honey
Monk's #2.

No matter where you go in Lexington, color me jealous, here in the
land of no Q joints.

Hey, Bugg, ya wanna ship me some brisket?

Tom,

Oh, don't worry, ever since my last trip when I forgot to re-read your
tour notes before going....

I always ask just before going somewhere just to make sure that if
there are other opinions I didn't get the last time around that I hear
them. Probably gonna head for Jimmy's. Last time I was through I
just got some hush puppies and some sauce to take home...this time
we're gonna sit down and eat.
