If you're like us, you can't wait for Memorial Day, the unofficial start of barbeque season. There's nothing quite like spending the evening with a cold beer and a plate piled high with chilled coleslaw, thick-cut French fries, and succulent barbeque...

Another vote for Schoepf’s!

Piggy Park in Lexington,South Carolina—hickory smoked mustard base sauce.

The proprietor, Maurice Bessinger, had his famous Carolina Gold BBQ sauce and others on sale at almost every grocery store in the state—then he took a stance of respect for the noble heritage represented by the Confederate Battle flag. The racism hustling Left was not amused.

Now only little country stores here and about sell his sauce.

Fresh Air BBQ, outside Jackson, Georgia, is mighty fine, too.

Thanks. I used to go TDY to Fort Hood all the time but for several years only Fort Irwin and Fort Bliss. Sure miss Cyclone.

I’ve had Fresh Air at the Macon location. Mighty fine indeed.
