Skylight Inn . We drove way off the beaten path over small county roads through cotton fields. The kids and Paul had never seen cotton fields before and were very excited to get out of the car and see one close up.
Finally we arrived--not much to this town other than the famous BBQ spot. Pork with cracklins...yummy. This is the real deal. James Beard award and all. Got a private tour of the smokehouse after. This is what this place is all about: http://www.travelchannel.com/…/food-…/video/skylight-inn-bbq
If you haven't read Cooked by Michael Pollan which was Pauls introduction to the significance of this place, it's a good read. The Netflix documentary based on the book is also recommended.

| Simple fare and no frills style--perfection |

| Tour of the smokehouse--toasty |

| As we were driving here a man pulled up beside us at a stoplight and motioned for us to roll down our window--when we did he yelled across: "How long you all been down"? Which is translated as: "When did you leave Alaska"? |
