Having eaten BBQ from all over the state and the country. I can say with authority that Fresh air BBQ serves the best smoked pork and stew in the state of GA. It isn't drowned in sauce like many of your amateur BBQ joints. Fresh air is the traditional hickory smoked slow cooked pork. It is great stuff! They have been in business since 1929, 91 years, that says it all!!
