just like cigars, taste is a matter of preference and is subjective, no one is wrong.

Ahh, but the arguments will always be waged. Everyone has their favorite.. I know I do.

Anyhow, one thing that can't be disputed about bbq is that it must be done low and slow. No exceptions.

I have lived here in and around Atlanta my whole life and there is nothing but sweet Georgia Peaches, all the ho's are transplants.

As far as bbq I am a fan of almost all styles myself. The best, imho, coming out of Eastern NC, KC, and Memphis. Recently though in Atlanta (actually Marietta) a new bbq resturant called Sam and Dave's opened that really is some of the finest pulled pork I have ever eaten.

Wow,,,I live in Atlanta ( suburb more like ) and am used to great KC BBQ as I lived there and about 10 other cities in the country. I have eatin BBQ in this city and so far not one even competes with what real BBQ is. Sonnys sucks,,Smokey Bones is not bad,,,and all the others are horrible here. I have not tried Sam and Daves and that gives me hope,,,what is the best thing on the menu in your opinion? I would give my left testicle for some great BBQ in this town,,,the testicle will be given to a donor on my demise just to clarify the deal.

Their pulled pork is great, some of the best I've had

Sam and Dave's 2 is on Whitlock Ave. (GA 120) just about a mile or two west of the Marietta Square. Coming in from Dallas you would just head east on 120 then after you cross over the East/West Connector and drive another few miles its in a shopping center on your left. There is a Waffle House in the parking lot.

As it turns out I am in no need of extra testicles, but do let me know what you think.

Where in ATL? I've been searching forever to find a good bbq place here so a recommendation would be appreciated! Tried a few places I found on citysearch and they all were mediocre at best.

There was this place in tampa...pink cinderblock building with a big ass picture of a pig in overalls and a quote bubble over it's head that reads "we be smokin'" ...best damn bbq ever. They run out of stuff if you go too late.

one of my first jobs was at champion BBQ in Lagrange ky. The pay was crap but the food was amazing. I eat BBQ when ever I see a new shop. My fav is Pierces in Williamsburg va. As far as smokin goes I don't see it mentioned here but I used some oak with a beef brisket a while back and it came out great. The ribs not so much I learned that meat can turn into jerky if smoked to much.

Oak is popular in northern areas. I like it, but haven't actually used it.

Joe, one thing that I enjoy that seems to be exclusive to Eastern NC is the yellow mustard slaw. Almost all of my relatives are located about an hour East of Raleigh and every time I visit I cannot stay away from the BBQ sandwiches and mustard slaw. And when you mix the Q and the slaw and throw it on the bun, well that might be the best sandwich ever.
