I recently did a day trip out to the area around Lexington and Henderson, TN, in between Nashville and Memphis, known for its whole hog BBQ traditions. Thanks to the Southern Foodways Alliance for the inspiration!

See http://www.southernfoodways.com/oral_histo...R00_essay.shtml

My favorite and what I think is the best keeper of the flame is Scott's in Lexington, nearly 50 years old. Great place. Great devotion to a seldom practiced art.

About 15 miles away is Siler's Old Time BBQ, another fine spot to taste whole hog magic. There aren't many places left that take the traditions so seriously.

Get your butt over though and try some BBQ!!! If you're ever driving down I40, the detour is a must.

I also posted a detailed recap of my day of BBQ hunting on an Atlanta food blog - http://rowdyfood.typepad.com/rowdyblog/200...-hog-bbq-i.html - if you care for more detail on some photos.
