re: Time for the most controversial offseason thread: Best SEC BBQ.

Obviously you know little about Macon. The home of mansions, museums and music has undergone a major renovation. The award winning downtown is amazing - packed with lofts, sidewalk restaurants and trendy shops. Mercer University, Wesleyan College and Midfdle Ga State give it a college atmosphere. More churches per capita than anywhere in America and beautiful historical neighborhoods awash with many of the over 400,000 cherry trees that adorn the streets.
Macon has probably turned out more famed musicians than any other town its size in the nation and the music scene is still alive and well. Little Richard, the Almonn Brothers, Otis Redding, James Brown, one half of REM, Robert McDuffie, Cher, Sting, Chuck Leavell, Jason Aldean and many others are either from Macon, lived there or recorded there. This city rocks! It definitely gives the Athens music scene some major competition nowadays. Most clubs are pretty swanky now and there are literally pianos on the sidewalks for anyone who cares to play. Movies and music videos are shot on a regular basis there and international film and music festivals pack in thousands. Macon has done an amazing job of reinventing itself in the past decade and I tip my hat to them.
I know this probably sounds like some type of info commercial for Macon. But unless you have actually experienced Macon the past few years you don’t know how incredible its transformation has been.
And back to BBQ - as good as Jackson, Georgia’s Fresh Air BBQ is, the one in Macon is even better. Best I’ve ever had anywhere. You should try it!
