Barbeque on the Road

When I am not making sausage or barbequing myself, I enjoy sampling OPP (Other People's Pork). I especially like any and all forms of barbeque. I have put together a list of barbeque joints that I have eaten at personally and would reccomend to you. Keep in mind that this is not a comprehensive list of the places I have sampled, just the one's I'd recommend if you are in the area. They are predominantly "mom-and-pop" places, with a few small franchises included. I also have listed a dish I'd recommend at each place.
