Went up to Conyers yesterday to buy a piece of used radiator equipment, then went to Harold's on the Jonesboro Highway. The pulled/sliced pork was excellent, GREAT Brunswick stew and (This is the FIRST real test of a good BBQ place.) really good sweet iced tea, the house wine of the South! Brought back a pint of the stew and, after making a little batch of rice, the wife and I had that for supper. I will for sure eat there again!

This yankee knows his "cue" and the original Dreamland, in Tuscaloosa, is fantastic. I have done Jim's Rib Haven in Rock Island, Ill. and Arthur Bryant's in KC and some in Texas but Dreamland is #2 out of them all. The VERY best is the East River Smokehouse in Navarre, Florida which is maybe 40 miles east of Pensacola (the Florida panhandle is like southern Alabama, actually). They smoke their ribs and chicken in the same room you eat in. The drippings get thrown into a beans kettle with sausage and onions and just keeps getting better. You sit at the bar watching t.v., drinking Bud out of mason jars and their ribs and beans are the best a well-traveled and potbellied old man has ever had! One thing I will never get is the sopping with white bread. As far as being able to get Dreamland sauce.......the internet offers it. I had six slabs sent to me once but their sauce is too thin to bother buying unless their ribs are in it. My next adventure will be to a place in Ayden, NC that slow smokes the whole pig and then chops it up into pulled pork with just a little of their Carolina sauce (vinegar, red pepper and a little mustard).

OOPS- Soppin' - I missed this part-
Soppin' means puttin' a version of the sauce on the meat while it's cookin'.
I sop my pig while it smokes..

The best Ga barbecue I ever had was not at any restaurant. It was pit cooked whole hog. Thirty or more good ole boys gettin together with as bout as many cases of beer to help each other out. It was 99.9% drinkin and tellin lies and about .01% manual labor cause everyone pitched in. Those were the days.

The wife and I drove to Lincolnton this morning, doing some junkyard looking, and had lunch at Goolsby's. I had the pork, with hash-and-rice and slaw, she had the ribs with hash-and-rice and snap-beans. The pork was being chopped as we got there, and was yummy, the ribs were beef, big and meaty. And, GREAT sweet-iced-tea! There was some delicious-looking homemade cakes, but we were too full to try those. By the way, we will be in the Atlanta area next weekend and need directions to Williamson Bros. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

P.S. C.E. Norman's wrecking yard had quite a few older Ford trucks. Located just off 378, six miles out of Lincolnton, going towards Washington. Even had an old, early fifties B-600 with a flathead.
