BBQ Restaurants Elevate Atlanta to Hog Heaven

BBQ is as good as Southern food gets. Atlanta may be the largest city in Georgia and not truly considered Southern anymore due to its population of transplanted citizens from all over the world, but great Southern BBQ can still be found in this sprawling city. Tangy, sweet, and full of great smoke flavor BBQ is a Southern delicacy. BBQ restaurants in Atlanta are a dime a dozen, you can find one on every street corner and sometimes two or three. Heck, even McDonalds serves up that McRib thing. Take a little advise from a small town Georgia girl and travel off the beaten path in Atlanta and you will find some of the best BBQ in the city.

I have spent my entire life eating BBQ, I am pretty sure my mother pureed it and fed it to me before I had any teeth and I am sure I will one day, as old age approaches, again be slurping it down this way. In the meanwhile I have turned myself into something of a BBQ connoisseur, not content to merely haunt the same joints over and over I have spent a decade of my life roaming through the city of Atlanta in an attempt to find the sweetest BBQ in Atlanta. I present to you here three of my favorite BBQ joints. Food is the main attraction at all of them, but as you will see, music elevates them to heavenly experiences.
