That's a vacation
Can I just take a moment to say that even though I really don't care for his other show, Feasting on Asphalt 2: The River Run is some quality television. Seriously, I'm anticipating taking a trip next year in which I retrace his steps and eat at every juke joint, BBQ shack and soul food establishment Alton Brown visited.

Well, the NOLA bloggers took some exception to his choices locally, most notably his complaint (as most Georgians make) that there is not very much sweet tea in New Orleans.
Let me know if you're actually retracing steps, because there are better stops to make in this neck of the woods.
I told The Wife last night that it was my goal to, if nothing else, travel from South Louisiana up to Memphis.
The only Southern state I've heard that lacks an abundance of sweet tea is North Carolina, but I've got family there and you can find it pretty readily.
If you like the Alton show, check out Guy Fieri's "Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dumps". It's national in scope, but the food just looks so good.
He went to The Beacon in Spartenburg, which we have put on our "must go" list.
The first Alton Brown Feasting on Asphalt started in Georgia, wound through Georgia and North Carolina, and eventually end up on the west coast. We've tried to check out the places in the South. The Biscuit Place in Washington is identical to our own late lamented Biscuit Barn. Shirley's in Toccoa is a good meat and three place.
You think Alton, being a Bulldog and all, would have promo'ed Weaver D, or Wilson's, even Plantation.
