Smoked Quail from Satterfield's


We ordered this to go, put it into the cooler, then right into the fridge in our room. Tasty snack. Plus some Brunswick Stew, which we dubbed Liquid Sausage.

Some sleeping arrangement info: The top photo is Steve's bed. The bottom photo is my couch. You would think the driver would get best.

Paula Dean's Restaurant?!


By 8pm the Lady and Sons Restaraunt was booked for the night, so we settled on Grimaldi's, an Itlaian restaurant that has a high national Zagat Rating. It was good, but kind of a let down.

Leaving Macon and Thinking Savannah



Suddenly, the Room Went Silent . . .

When discussing dessert options with our lovely waitresss, I asked about the pecan pie. I pronounced it "PEE-can". The waitress quickly corrected me, "peh-CAHN pie," as heads of fellow diners turned to look at us and conversation abruptly ended. Thinking quickly, I requested that it be served hot and a la mode. Conversation around us resumed after I diffused the crisis.

Satterfield's BBQ



These ribs are "St. Louis" style. Dry rub and smoked. Sauce is only for dipping the finished product. Different and not as exhilarating as Fat Matt's, but still very good. Steve's beef brisket was tooo dry. Brunswick stew, okra and tomatoes, and cole slaw accompanied the meat. You can see the sweet tea container and the pot for the boiled peanuts.

Well Rested for Final Full Day

We made an early start for our final full day on this roadtrip. We are going to the GA Aquarium, thanks to the complimentary tickets Marriott included with our room. After that we are driving to Macon, GA, about half-way between Atlanta and Savannah, GA, our final destinations. We will hit our last road trip BBQ joint there, Satterfield's. We need to arrive early in Savannah for dinner and time to explore the historic district because Steve is flying back to NYC tomorrow. Hopefully Satterfield's will be worth two toothpicks when I get to post some more photos later today.
