Thread: Barbeque/holes in the wall

One day, I'm going to fly to the US and do a BBQ road trip
I'm bloody starving after reading about these BBQ stalls.

I ate at Opie's in Spicewood, Texas quite a few times. I tried Cooper's in Llano, Texas as well. Opie's 'Q was superior, IMHO. Some of the things usually indicative of the presence of good 'Q are (in no particular order): the building should appear to be in dire need of paint; a roll of paper towels on each table; a significant woodpile close by; 'Q should be served on butcher's paper or paper plates (unless take out); you should be able to smell wood smoke inside; the proprietor is an older black man. The absence of any of these does not preclude good 'Q, but the presence of all of them virtually guarantees it. FWIW, I travel all over the US in my job as field engineer.

Years ago I went to this BBQ joint in Warner Robbins GA, a decent size place with awesome food.
Wish I could remember the name
