Mark’s Feed Store
1514 Bardstown Road
Louisville, KY 40205
The last leg of our BBQ tour was a stretch from Nashville to Chicago. We rolled into Louisville a little before lunchtime, and we were looking for something to tide us over before we hit Indiana. We had read good reviews about Mark’s Feed Store, and being unfamiliar with [...]

BBQ Tour: Sweatman’s
Sweatman’s
1313 Gemini DR
Holly Hill, SC
We will readily admit that we really only found out about Sweatman’s because Anthony Bourdain told us to go there. But that doesn’t mean the trip was any less difficult – literally half an hour from anything, Sweatman’s BBQ lies at an almost un-findable intersection in backcountry South Carolina. Even if [...]

BBQ Tour: Old Plantation BBQ
Old Plantation BBQ
1515 Dodson Ave
Chattanooga, TN
Old Plantation has all the makings of being a good place for BBQ – an off-the beaten path location, billowing smoke rising from the smoker and a crowd, even on off hours. We stopped at Old Plantation on our way back to Chicago, after breezing through Georgia. Old Plantation is [...]

BBQTour2K9 Kickoff
On our roadtrip through the south, we made lots of fine foodie stops along the way. It probably shouldn’t properly called a BBQ tour since we ended up sampling lots of other tasty, non-slow-cooked or sauced treats as well, from pizza to seafood. But BBQTour2K9 had such a nice ring to it, we couldn’t resist. [...]

Southern US: Smoque
Smoque
3800 N. Pulaski
Chicago, IL
So obviously, the ’south’ is not a country, but it does have a rich culinary tradition of its own, so we’re comfortable including it on ETW. Well, mostly because it’s a darn tasty cuisine. Our latest adventure into Southern Foodways is Smoque Barbecue. Smoque has gotten a lot of press, so we [...]
