Sorry, you must have been raised on the ‘Fresh Air’ generation. Well, there’s a new joint in town, and those that know good BBQ know the Blind Pig is a century ahead of 1973′s top BBQ, Fresh Air. No comparison, Blind Pig is KING. Fresh Air fans just don’t know any better…

Definitely Fresh Air. Been eating there for 35+ years and still haven’t found better. Blind Pig’s ok. Saw where some ATL mag rated it top 5 material. Agree stew and taters are best part. And the part about the service normally being quicker. Not true. Always takes a long time and they always tell you it’s normally quicker.

“I would go back to Blind Pig with a friend who has never been, but given the choice I’ll travel a few miles down the road and eat Fresh Air.”

In all fairness, if ANYTHING was down the road from Fresh Air, I would rather drive down the road a few miles and eat the best BBQ in the southeast.

I’ve enjoyed your reviews even though I can’t try these places for myself on the regular, since I live in NC. But I do look forward to stopping into one or three of these joints on my trip to SW Ga this year.

If you ever find yourself on the main drag between Anderson and Clemson SC, I recommend you swing through the Smokin’ Pig. It’s just south of Pendleton and has some of the best Q you’ll ever eat. They’ll even give you extra brown/bark if you ask. Sauces are really good too. Just keep in mind…it’s only open Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.

Thanks for your hard “work”…been nice reading about the Q back in the homeland.

You are right Ucheedawg on all accounts. Best part was spending great time with my favorite people! Always encouraging folks to “fork more pork”.
