Traveling Foodies: Billboard Leads to South Georgia Pork Heaven

As you probably know if you’ve driven to Florida from Atlanta, there are dozens of billboards lining I-75 in south Georgia.  Not all of them are places you might want to stop or products you might want to buy, but here’s one to consider based on a recent post by an Atlanta food blogger…Carroll’s Sausage and Country Store. Brad Kaplan makes it sound like Carroll’s Sausage and Country Store has every pork product known to man, and will make your mouth water for one you might not know…buckboard bacon. It’s a shoulder cut, cured with a dry rub, smoked, then cut extra thick.  This process apparently comes from an old southern way of using more than just the pork belly to get more bacon.   But if you are not traveling to south Georgia from Atlanta, you can still check them out on the web and they will ship your order.  Here’s  Brad’s full story and more information on making or ordering some buckboard bacon.
