If Not BBQ, Then What?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
YOUR FAVORITE SPOT HERE: What kind of food map would you make of Georgia?

My Dishing column in today’s accessAtlanta takes a look at two quirky dudes who love their barbecue. Scott Sapp has spent the last 30 years mapping his favorite barbecue spots in the state, from north to south, and Phil Beaubien’s Hickory Pig in Gainesville is one of them.
Mapping the state’s barbecue offerings is a Herculean task. I can’t imagine the tenacity Sapp must have, and I do this sort of thing for a living — no one’s even paying this guy. Here’s a link to download the map from Delta Sky Magazine’s editor (and bbq aficionado) David Bailey — thanks, David!
We’ve talked BBQ here before, and you’ve let me know exactly how you feel about it. Sapp’s cartographic conatus has got me wondering what subject matter I’d pick if I were to set about a similar task: Would I map the state’s best ice cream places ? Fried chicken greasy spoons? Hot dog joints? All would be worthy causes.
What kind of food map would you make of Georgia, and what spot would you start with on your map?
