Paul:  Today, we went to The Crafty Hog. The owner's daughter is in Sam's grade at St. Benedict's.**

Well... Anyway... When we got there, for a second, it felt like we were at the beach. It had four horseshoe pitches, two bocce courts, and a sand pit for little kids to play in. It also had an outdoor bar and TV.  When we got inside, it felt like a beach house. There had to be like 20 TVs!  On each TV, they had a different sport.

Our server was very nice. I got a pulled pork sandwich. I also go this great BBQ sauce (Deep South). It was amazing! It was sweet and spicy goodness and the pork melted in your mouth.  

Then, my dad got a beer and we played bocce.  Dad beat me and Sam by one point. The court was very clean and kept up well. I can't wait to go back!

Sam:  The Crafty Hog is awwwww-some! I got two side dishes for my meal. I got the Smoked Gouda Mac and Cheese and Pork & Baked Beans. I loved them! I really loved the cheesiness of the mac and cheese. The baked beans were kind of sweet and I like that!

Now for Sam's patented bathroom review:  There was a beer sign in the bathroom (by the way, I'm talking about the boys' bathroom). For the sink they used a bucket and added a drain.  So, they recycled the bucket. The bathroom was clean.

Note: This was dictated to dad by The Gaeta Boys.

We recently went to Bigun’s Barbeque in Talking Rock Georgia. How we go there is a strange story. So, we will tell you. We were driving to our grandfather’s house in Hiawassee, Georgia.  About halfway there, Sam said, “I need to go to the restroom.”  So, we went to the next gas station that we saw.  When we got there, dad looked at his gas gauge and realized it was low.  So, he got gas at the pump and we went inside to the restroom.  When we got inside, we realized it was a really big barbecue restaurant.

Meanwhile, dad was outside pumping gas.  When we got back out to the car, dad was like, “I smell something goooooooddddddd……” Mom then told us that were actually at the barbecue restaurant that we saw on a billboard a ways back. Then she looked it up on Yelp.  It had really good reviews.  So, we decided to try it out…since it was almost dinnertime, anyway.

When we walked into the front of the restaurant, Sam thought “Woooph!!!! This place looks good!”  Paul started licking his lips and thought, “This is going to be killer barbecue!”  

Paul ordered the “Big ‘n’ Sloppy” pulled pork sandwich with a small side of baked beans.  Sam got the “Bigun” pulled pork sandwich with a large side of baked beans.  Mom and dad got ribs. 

Paul’s was really good. He says:
  • “If you are getting the ‘Big ‘n’ Sloppy’, make sure to put the sweet barbecue sauce on it instead of the spicy.  The sweet is better. The pulled pork was nice and tender.  It was very juicy.  The baked beans were unusually served:  It has pulled pork IN it. It was really good.”

Sam loved his, too.  Says Sam:
  • “We actually don’t know if we got our sandwiches mixed up.  But, the sandwich I ate was really good.  The size of the baked beans order got mixed up, too.  I loved the baked beans.”

And, now for Sam’s patented bathroom review:  
  • “When you get close to the bathroom, the men’s and women’s signs…..the people that look like a man and a women….those signs were made out of dollar bills.  And the bathrooms were filled up with license plates and art. It was a nice bathroom.”

If you are traveling to the North Georgia Mountains from Atlanta on Highway 515, you should make a stop in Talking Rock, Georgia…..fill up your tank with gas…and your belly with some of the best barbecue in Georgia!!

p.s. - Mom and dad said their ribs were AWESOME.

Paul:  It’s been a long time since we’ve blogged!  Fall baseball and school have started, so we have been busy.

We were coming back home from the lake a few weeks ago and stopped at Rib Country.  It is a BBQ restaurant.  There is a lot of cool artwork in it.  The service was pretty good.  Our waitress came back on a regular basis to check on us.  We sat on benches in a booth.  

I got the 1/2 rack of baby back ribs.  They were pretty good.  The BBQ sauce was spicy, but it gave it a good taste. For sides, I got baked beans, fries, and Texas toast. The baked beans were good.  I thought that it was  amazingly delicious and had a good, soft texture.

Overall, it was a pretty good experience. 

Sam:  We went to Rib Country on the way back from my Papa’s house.  His name is Richard.  Rib County is really good!  And don’t listen Paul’s stars!  I think it should have FIVE stars!  Ha ha ha!!! 

I ordered the pork sandwich from the kids menu.  The sides were apple sauce and fries.  I really liked it.  That’s why I would give it five stars.
