bbq: hi im going to drive from new york to florida and im really looking for good authentic bbq restaurants within .5 miles of the i95 preferably around the NC,SC, and GA area . But not like the restaurant chains, im talking about the ones from like the early 1900's that they show on like man v food or the travel channel if you happen to know any good places please let me know it would be much appreciated.|||I've heard that NY is actually starting to get heavy into the bbq scene. Maybe you'll find a couple bbq places before you ever leave your home state. Lucky you...I love carolina bbq.|||Are you taking I-95 all the way? I-40 will get you to Florida, too, but not along the coast. Just asking because some of the good bbq places aren't on the coast. Lexington had its annual bbq festival in October.
