I got kind compulsive about blogging for a while, basically between 2009 and 2011. Or I got compulsive about food. I mean, I was always compulsive about food, which is a running battle (and you know what they say, never get into a land war in Asia), but once I started writing about what I […]

Smokey Pig BBQ, Bowling Green, KY
Not, as it turns out, the prettiest town I’ve ever seen, Bowling Green. Nor did I meet my old friend Bob. But I was passing through with my colleague Buxxx, and when we travel together, we eat barbecue. He’s even from Kaintuck, so it was a nice chance for him to fill me in on […]
Due South, Christiansburg VA
The sun dawned orange, especially with the help of Instagram. I was in the greater Roanoke, VA area for a terribly important and completely unproductive business meeting. Actually I had been there the night before too, and I made the team go out for barbecue. That’s what I do. But BBQ in Roanoke doesn’t look […]
Whole Hog Cafe, Bentonville AR
Here we are in backwater Arkansas…I’ll let you figure out why. Certainly it was a neat experience, and one I hope to repeat as necessary (like a lather-rinse cycle, only this experience leaves you feeling a little dirty afterward). I was there with Solly and Earle, and since Earle is down with barbecue, and I […]
Jack’s Bar-B-Que, Nashville
We didn’t know Jack, but we kinda wanted to. So did a lot of our friends. Had to wait all the way past the bar next door, and through a line inside the premises too. Here’s the funny thing – there was plenty of seating. I mean, it was quiet and kinda empty. It’s just […]
Martin’s BBQ Joint, Nolensville (Nashville)
Research had indicated… Aww hell, I was just googling. Everyone likes to say “I deeply researched this issue” when they really mean they googled it for 2 minutes. But I spent a good 30 googling barbecue in Nashville. I felt like I could tell from the relative lack of informed discussionz that it wasn’t going […]
Hog Heaven, Nashville
Did I own up about this yet? I coerced Leonard into meeting me in Nashville mainly so I could try playing a $60,000 banjo. (In other news, the $100,000 mandolin on the wall above it was really awesome.) And eat a lot of barbecue. Only when I started researchin, it didn’t seem like there was […]
Bar-B-Cutie, Nashville
What’s up there, sweet cheeks? Leonard and I flew in to Nashville for a long weekend men’s trip. Nothing sordid ensued unless you count 5 meals of barbecue in 3 days as sordid. And my intestines sorta did. You know I don’t eat that much meat these days. So I got in after him due […]
Angelo’s, Fort Worth
So I was in Forth Worth for about 20 hours to have a little meeting. We got in early, visited some stores of the retailer we were meeting, and then were left with 2+ hours of dead time. My colleague, Hoor, looked at me and said “Barbecue” and we were off. It was like a […]
Lexington Barbeque #1, Lexington, TN
People have suggested before that maybe I was too into eating, or trying new restaurants. You know who you are. Or they know who they are. Those people are straight up haterz, and haterz gonna hate. F ’em, that’s what I say. It’s all part of the game. So when I had to go down […]
