Good BBQ in Atlanta?

[ClaytonN]

My Dad is an amateur food critic in the metro atlanta area for an Atlanta cuisine website, and he says in his 25-odd years in Atlanta he's never found an overly great BBQ place.

I like Fatt Matt's, but we eat our BBQ at home with a Big Green Egg.

Also, wtf with the Varsity? They are not a BBQ place. In the 4-5 times I've been there I've always gotten a chili dog, a cheeseburger, and a frosted orange. Or something like that.

Yeah. They're not BBQ, just somewhere to which you have to go if you come to Atlanta.

BBQ=Old Clinton
HotDog=NuWay in Macon(and its not even close)
Breakfast=Larrys in monticello I think, some where on the road between macon and athens. Its a small town (barely can be considered that) the one with those crazy Nuabian people and the Champion General store. Their hamburger is also amazing. Maybe some other Ga folks can clarify

BBQ, I can't comment on. Where is Clinton in Georgia? I'm in Milledgeville.
Hotdogs, NuWay is teh shizzle.
Breakfast, I haven't found my breakfast capitol yet. Oh and that little town is Eatonton. It's not that small, it's about 15 minutes from where I'm at. Oh and the Nuwabians sold all their land because of the New York scandal with their leader.

too bad you can't get up north near Lake Lanier.

Pappy Red's is probably the best in Atlanta.

Slopes is pretty good too (can you tell I live north of downtown? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] )
