DBA BBQ

Pulled Pork Sandwich with sweet potato fries

The Pork

The tender, succulent interior is perfectly crusted with a nicely charred shell of smoky deliciousness.

The Sweet Potato Fries

Close to perfection — I think these are the best sweet potato fries in Atlanta right […]

Community Q BBQ

BBQ rib & pulled pork combo with Brunswick stew & collards

While every element of this plate was cooked with skill, the bbq spices & flavors were not my favorite. One particular spice (coriander, I believe) gave the ribs a flavor that reminds me of brisket. I like brisket, but, […]

The Best BBQ in Atlanta — REVISED

Fox Brothers: Best Overall BBQ & Best Cornbread

Who’s got the best BBQ in Atlanta? (Check out my first Best BBQ list posted on April 16, 2008) Many of the originals have stood the test of time. A handful of new additions have been added to the […]

Harold's BBQ — Our first and last visit

I must confess… I’m not a fan of the Cracklin’ Cornbread. Gummy bits of cracklin’ clinging to my teeth is a bit of a turn off for me. The flavor payoff required for me to fight the unpleasant texture was just not there. The addition of fried pork rind to […]

Super Duper Smoky @ Ms Betty's House of Ribs

On one of Anthony Bourdain’s excursions to India (Rajasthan), he samples a marijuana laced white chocolate and bhang lassi. The government licensed shop keeper refers to the strongest bhang lassi as “super duper sexy”. Speaking of government licensed marijuana, can you imagine how quickly we’d be out of debt if WE had government licensed marijuana […]

Wyatt's BBQ

The Setting: Just down the street from Ann’s Snack Bar, this super-small building with a brick walled oven offers little in the way of space (standing room only). But, who cares? We’re here for the food. And, we were very happy to dine on picnic tables at the park down the street.

The Staff: Friendly […]

Smoked Duck @ Rolling Bones

The Setting: A smallish glass-walled converted gas station creates the indoor seating space. A covered patio with plenty of faux-vintage aluminum chairs & tables fill the superior outdoor seating area. Though, on at least one occasion, we were asked if we wanted to contribute to a gentleman’s livelihood…. or maybe give him our food… you […]

Fox Bros. BBQ — Another perfect meal

Fox Bros. Chicken & Ribs Combo

The Setting: This perfect summer day with a bright blue sky had Fox Bros. packed to near-capacity.

The Staff: Friendly and attentive, even with the crowd

The Food:

Watermelon Margarita: Perfectly fresh watermelon juice, a good kick of tequila […]

Who has the best cornbread?

The Contenders:

Fox Bros. BBQ — (pictured above) Their version is close to perfection in my book. Dense, crumbly, just a hint of crispiness on the top and at the edge. And, most importantly, full of corn flavor. This is everything good cornbread strives to be. Specks of […]

Best Cornbread in Atlanta @ Fox Bros?

Maybe… It’s certainly in the top 5.

Fox Bros. recently added cornbread to their lineup of sides. And, it is divine! Served with a side of sweet butter that’s dusted with cinnamon, this huge wedge of mildly sweet cornbread is dotted with corn and diced jalapeno. While it’s hard to tell sitting next to […]
