Don’t miss out on Southern BBQ, meaning Northern Florida/ Georgian BBQ. It’s so darned good! I like all the others, but FL/Ga bbq is superior to the others.

Don’t forget the sides! Collards and Mac n cheese, and if you really want Southern, add in some homemade hush puppies. I make all the sides, and hubby does the BBQ.

My recipes have been handed down through my family. They’re excellent and authentic.

Wow I never thought to consider GA/FL a BBQ region!

And indeed I have rarely had the food items you mention.

There needs to be some sort of FR cookout to travel to! I would so go, and would love to try the recipes :)!

- Collard greens I really liked the few times I’ve had...
- Hush puppies sound so yummy! Again, these aren’t staples for me but I do like Corn Bread...and Biscuits!
- Mac n Cheese (Will have to pass on this one because although I eat butter, I don’t like cheese LoL. Wish it weren’t so, but can’t help it. )

I second that notion! We’ve got lots of BBQ joints. Their flavor is meat! No fancy spices and slathered sauces. Just simple rubs and sauce on the side.

Since I'm from Jax originally, I agree with you....but darlin' you're gonna start a fight talking like that. :^) Nobody else in the South is ever going to agree that somebody else's barbecue style is better than theirs. You might as well tell them their college football team sucks and your team is gonna kick their butts.

BTW, you're absolutely right about the hush puppies but substitute cole slaw for those nasty collard greens.
