If they're going up Friday or Saturday, Brasstown BBQ. It's on 76 sort of near the Georgia border in northwest SC around Westminster.
If he's willing to go out of his way, Scott's BBQ in Hemingway is probably the best pork I've ever had. It's a good bit out of the way, though. http://mapq.st/1R2K1sM
Damn, that sucks bc I just remembered Sweatman's in Holly Hill. That's right on their route, too. Only open Fri and Sat, though. I've never had it bc of their hours but the locals raved about it and it's supposed to rival Scott's. http://www.sweatmansbbq.com/
Mapquest is the easiest site I've found to add multiple stops. When I traveled, I lived by it. I use Google Maps for directions on my cell but mapping out weekly routes with 30 stops was much easier on Mapquest.
haha just givin you a hard time. haven't seen mapquest in probably 20 years (i honestly didn't even know it existed)
ha yea maybe there's a better way, idk. It was just easiest to plug them all in there and them email myself a link to it so I had it all week. I had no clue where I was going so I lived off it. I'm a Google guy but I was always frustrated that I couldn't make a map on Google with a ton of stops and then send the whole thing to my cell. When I tried that, the app on my cell would only pick up 1st stop and the rest wouldn't transfer. That did me no good.
It really is. If I didn't know better I'd think their meat came from a different animal that the pork I cook.
the odds of you getting meat from the same pig as them are minuscule. Would have to be one big ass pig.
Dad and I make pilgrimages from Charleston to Holly Hill a couple times a year just for Sweatman's - this year we are going to go to Scott's since neither of us have had it. for this trip though Hemingway is too far out of the way. thanks again for the help.
I stopped at Randy's BBQ in Troutman N.C. a few weeks ago and came away thoroughly impressed. The chopped BBQ was perfect and the red slaw was outstanding. Nice little pit stop on my way to Savannah from Ohio.
The BBQ sauce is good but I prefer the Tennessee Red Sauce. The BBQ sauce is really thick and the TRS is super thin. The two mixed 50/50 is better than either alone.
friedskillet I picked up your BGE today so I'd have it on my next trip your way. I'll text you as soon as my schedule is set. Arkadin & Tilly that will mean beers that evening IMO.
And I'm going to be in trial prep mode from mid July through early August. It's ok though bc fuck friedskillet
you at least had an excuse for bailing on dinner tonight.... friedskillet goes "well im gonna go to the gym and see how i feel" that was like 3 hours ago
had a last minute business trip to Demopolis come up this morning - staying in Tuscaloosa so obviously did Archibald's for dinner. went with the dbl combo of a full slab, bag of chips, and banana pudding
We need to experiment and make their recipe. ..it can't be that difficult Apple cider vinegar mustard sugar (idk white maybe? ) ???
See if someone in the Champs thread will help you out. That's how I got mine. The gallon jug was waaaay too much, though.
Guys if any of you are ever in Columbus (I know, I know, Ohio joke) you need to go to Ray Ray's hog pit. It's a food truck that sets up on north high on Thursday through Sunday. Hands down, best ribs I've ever had, and I've had a lot of ribs. St. Louis style. Tastes like they're basted in a mixture of butter and St. Louis rub. Incredible. I'm not even a big ribs guy, I prefer shoulder and brisket. But I literally want to eat at Ray Rays every day.
I'm convinced its mostly butter and apple cider vinegar with a bunch of spices. I'm going to experiment
Watched Chopped last night and it was a barbeque special, which was interesting. All four chefs were from Charleston and they got a different sauce in each round, a Carolina mustard, East North Carolina, and a Kansas City style. Also made a BBQ pizza with leftover pulled pork.
