Bravo Gelato - Nashville, TN

People seem to be going nuts about the maple bacon gelato here, but this cup of blueberry was the best thing I ate all week...

Bocado

Have we mentioned the burger at Bocado in Atlanta? Not too shabby:

Peg Leg Porker

Two of our favorite things...our man Billy Reid is making shirts featuring one of our favorite BBQ sauces - the Peg Leg Porker. Check Billy's site to get yours.

Liquor Store Web Design

We've launched the website for Holiday Fine Wine & Spirits in Atlanta:

'Sloppy Jose'

Taqueria del Sol is featuring the 'Sloppy Jose' taco this week - house-made Sloppy Joe filling, cheddar, jalapenos, and the kicker - Fritos!

What I Learned In Colorado

I learned that they take their jerky seriously...so seriously that there's a 'Jerky Wagon' near Dillon. Here are a few of our favorites - the Kippered Elk Steak was an especially big hit.

Local Coffee

Thanks to the good people at 1000 Faces Coffee in Athens, GA for sending over a bag of El Bambito...this may be the new house coffee for the Green Olive Atlanta office.

Beer Friday

Seeing as how we have a bunch of friends playing the South By Southwest festival in Austin this week, today's featured libation for Beer Friday is the one and only Shiner from Texas.

Oxford American 2010 Southern Food Issue

The Oxford American has outdone themselves with this year's southern food issue...set aside several hours to read this one, as I had trouble not reading the whole thing at one sitting. They also outdid themselves at the launch party in Charleston this weekend, serving plenty of Pappy Van Winkle 15-year bourbon at Billy Reid's store...

Thanks Dad!

You have to love a dad who pays a visit to the one and only Moonlite BBQ in Owensboro, KY, and knowing that he can't bring me back an order of their famous mutton, he at least sends some BBQ packets as consolation. I'm off to find some tips on cooking mutton.

Scott's Variety Store & BBQ - Hemingway, SC

I was lucky enough to experience the best whole hog BBQ I've ever had this weekend - courtesy of my new hero, Rodney Scott, of Scott's Variety Store in Hemingway, SC. Our man John T. Edge has already done a better job writing it up than I can - take a few minutes to read this great piece.

We're excited to have launched the website for Vern Yip, star of countless shows on TLC, NBC and HGTV among others...

How It's Done

This sign stopped me in my tracks while driving through South Carolina yesterday...I wanted to stick around until it got dark so I could see what it looked like when lit.

Mobile Post - Jim 'N Nick's, Charleston, SC

Second breakfast of the day - hot link and pimento cheese; the first was an oyster and liver po boy at Hominy Grill...
