Relatively inexpensive, Boston Butt is actually from the upper front shoulder of the pig. It’s used to make barbeque, Brunswick stew, and everything in between. A gentleman at this location* was smoking them and a steady procession of customers were just driving through and picking them up. I regret that I didn’t get a chance to speak to him as the traffic was heavy and I had to wait and wait just to get a shot incorporating the sign and the great old Ford pickup. But if you’re in the area and see this sign, you might want to stop by and pay him a visit. As busy as the place was, it must be good.
* just outside town heading toward Springfield on Georgia Highway 119
If done right, Boston Butt is Goooood. If you get one and don’t like it, don’t judge all others by that one!
I can’t tell you how much I enjoy your blog. As a lifetime Georgian, and I am 52 years old, I’ve been to so many of the places that you show us, and yet so many of them I haven’t been to. There are many that I haven’t even heard of. So it’s such a joy to read your blog. George is a very special place. I travel to Europe a lot and happen to really love England, which you will see if you happen to to take a look at my blog, but it’s always nice to get back home to the place that shines through the Pines.
