BBQ joints between ATl-Macon-Savannah

Fresh Air in Macon is pretty good and not far off the interstate.

There is a nu-way Northside drive about 2 miles from I-75. Before I started going to a Cardiologist, I ate there all the time. The Northside location doesn't have the ambiance of my favorite one (Downtown Macon on Cotton Street which burned to the ground), but the chili recipe is the same. If you've eaten at the Varsity in Atlanta it's the same Greek style ala Coney island style. Been around since 1916.

Nu-way


Fresh air BBQ is close to I-75 and I enjoy their BBQ. It's smoked at their original location in Jackson. Love that place for its character and ambiance. Forget that, I love it for the smell of almost a hundred years of Hickory/Oak crud impregnated on the walls.



I could send you down to the hood, which used to be a respectable part of blue collar Macon, but you wanted something near the Interstate.

My favorite hamburger. Slow smoked with a bark. It has a smoke ring. Pickles and mustard.
