Inaugural Bob Garner Restaurant Road Trip

Well, it seems only fitting that the first entry in this blog is about our recent weekend on the road with Bob Garner! Bob G. was kind enough to let us photograph him with Little Bob, our usual trip mascot, at our first restaurant stop for lunch. So, that seems especially appropriate as the photo to use as the title page for this blog of road trips with Bob!

Let's begin with a little background for those who may not be familiar with Bob Garner (I assume if you are reading this that you are already familiar with Clay and me!). Bob Garner is a North Carolina food expert, especially NC barbecue or barbeque or BBQ or que. Now that is a subject for a whole book, so if you don't already know about NC Q, I'll let you go do some reading on your own. Here is a link to Bob Garner's website. http://bobgarnerbbq.com/

This trip cost was $750 for the 2 of us. It included the bus trip, 1 night's lodging at Highland Lake Inn, 2 lunches, 1 breakfast and 1 pig pickin' dinner. It went roundtrip from Raleigh, to Hickory for lunch, to Flat Rock to spend the night, to Snow Camp for lunch on Sunday and back to Raleigh.
