Go to Fat Matts, granted its coming up on 10 months since i enjoyed maddys but going off of memory its probably the closest one will get now…word has it that the owner of maddys worked at fat matts for years…the food is eerily similar so that may hold water. plus at fatt matts you can buy a bottle of it and either enjoy it or pay a lab to break it down for you.

But there was a bbq joint there (maddys) before the other two (community and burnt fork) existed, the what we don’t need is another bbq joint argument is a little weak. Plus doesn’t an occupied building, creating tax revenue (not to mention happy and full bellies) sound better than another abandoned building? I would love great roads and less traffic but surely less tax revenue won’t change that.

Love the idea of carryout during football weekends. I was sad seeing Maddy’s go, but this is an upgrade. Yippy!

There is certainly plenty of B stew around that is not up to snuff. Hard to describe what it should be if you ahven’t had a good bowl. The taste and texture and color all have to be right. Thick, orange-colored, with very few ingredients that are actually identifiable — a few kernels of corn, a few butterbeans (pale green, baby limas to you yankee types, I suppose), and the wispiest shreds of meat. Tangy, but not really spicy.
There’s a place in Marietta that has decent Brunswick stew, IMO, something Brothers, and there’s a place in McDonough that does, too, can’t remember the name but he did the BBQ/Blues festival several years ago. Don’t know of any other local source that’s great, although haven’t tried it at Comm’ty Q. Otherwise, I depend on stopping on the way to/from the beach: Dobbs Barbecue in Dothan (south of town on US 331, just outside the Circle), and a place called Salty Sue’s on the Back Beach Road (US 98 between Panama City Beach and Inlet Beach).
Maybe it’s time to go scouting locally.
