spent time in the smokies & surrounding area & then in georgia for work. & bbq is awesome...but different varieties for each area...

enjoyed both areas...was familiar more with coastal areas so Georgia was not as much of a stretch (altho being there in august was..aug-nov by the paper mill..nice...)

the smokies & surrounding...i loved it...awesome people, food, culture...

wouldn't mind going back to both areas. nc is a great state...ya got the beach, mountains, piedmont...i could live there...
