Good cheap eating in the Carolinas

Looks as though the missus and I have three or four days to spend in the space between Southside Virginia and North Georgia. We'll be camping and on a tight budget, but are looking for a place to pitch our tent that's within a short drive of good country cooking -- especially 'cue -- and maybe a swimming hole or two.

We expect to be traveling through the western, mountainous part of the various states (I-81, I-77). We can stay anywhere that has camping, and are eager to explore whatever area we end up in: food, culture and recreation, but especially food. Suggestions for regions and/or specific dining establishments are appreciated.

Thanks.

I'm on the pavement

Thinking about the government.

We recently took 81 to visit my dad in Lenoir, NC (where he's relocated). It's a cute little Americana town with some interesting street sculptures and close to the Blue Ridge Mountains. I looked and asked for recs around the area (western NC) but didn't find anything recent so I went to roadfood and exchanged a few posts here. http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/Best-North-...BQ-m491424.aspx. Not sure those posts will help but have a look.

I would definitely recommend a trip (next year) to the Blue Ridge Bbq festival. Amazing que in a beautiful setting. http://www.blueridgebbqfestival.com/

That wasn't chicken
