We are now in full countdown mode.
The basics:
- Josh is flying from Burlington to Baltimore then driving to the starting line.
- We are starting and ending in Staunton, Virginia.
- We are going to one city for lunch and one city for dinner.
- We have rented the uber-manly Toyota Prius for the nearly 3,800 mile journey.
- We will travel through the entire confederacy (though we will not eat in Arkansas - schedule conflict).
- We will, on average, drive 7.7 hours per day, every day, from 6th to the 13th of Aug.

OUR PLEDGE TO YOU, FAITHFUL SEEKER OF THE BBQ TRUTH:
- We will update you on our travels
- We will tell you which sides are worthy of accompanying pulled pork, spare ribs, or [though unlikely] chicken [thighs only, please]
- We shall have no regard for our own health and safety in our quest to literally eat our way across the south
- We will unabashedly show our intimate moments of pain, reflection, and folly on our quest for BBQ salvation
- Most importantly, we will have pictures
HEAR US, OH PIOUS PORK [and occasionally beef or chicken] EATERS:
- Should we fail in our quest;
- Should our stomachs tremble at the side of yet another bowl of Brunswick stew;
- Should our hearts burn the flames of a 1000 bottles of hot sauce;
- Should our bodies reject the site of flesh and force us to graze on the side of the road for roughage;
- Should the blood in our legs clot from driving;
- Should we go blind from adult-onset diabetes triggered by the third gallon of sweet tea;
- Should our blood-pressure rise to staggering heights:
IT IS UP TO YOU TO FIND US [and the Prius, because it is really expensive], BURY US IN A WOOD FIRE PIT, AND CONTINUE OUR QUEST
