Dream BBQ Tour ideas
Suppose you could pick a month and visit the great southern centers of
real barbecue, travelling about to small established barbecue joints as well as festivals, contest and the like from the Carolinas over to Texas...what would be your dream itinerary, the not-to-be-missed events, locales and establishments so as to soak up the scene as much as possible? |

A tailgate in KC before a Cheifs game, and some of the much-raved about Carolina BBQ with the mustard-vinegar sauce. FM |

It's watered down salad dressing. I've also been to Maurice's Piggy Park in Columbia, SC, and his mustard-based sauce is absolutely disgusting. You can read my reviews from our BBQ tour of the south in 1998 at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~thc/bbqtour/. Places to visit: Dreamland in Tuscaloosa, AL Miss Myra's in Birmingham, AL Jimmy's in Lexington, NC (also Lexington BBQ and John Wayne's) Old Clinton BBQ in Clinton, GA I also endorse FM's suggestion of Black's in Lockhart. --THC ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tom Cormen Voice: (603) 646-2417 Professor of Computer Science Fax: (603) 646-1672 Chair, Writing Program Email: Dartmouth College URL: http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~thc/ 6211 Sudikoff Laboratory Hanover, NH 03755-3510 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |

I would add Dreamland in Tuscaloosa AL and maybe Cobb's in Memphis (with a stop by Dyers for the deep-fried hamburgers in the 90-year-old grease)... and maybe Allman's in Fredericksburg Virginny. -- These ain't Mentos... but they'll freshen your breath! http://tinyurl.com/cr5ka |

If I were spending a month, I'd have to expand beyond the "southern
centers". In addition to the south, including the Carolinas, Menphis, Texas, you would most certainly need to include Kansas City, the central coast of California ("Santa Maria-style" BBQ) and some legendary places along the way such as the Montgomery Inn in Cincinatti, 17th St Bar and Grill in Murphysboro IL and more.
