In February of 2007 I brought along my Georgia nieces and nephews with me to Harold’s Barbecue in Atlanta. I was first taken to Harold’s about thirty years ago, Unfor-tunately, its been about thirty plus years since I have been back. This would be their first visit to a real Q house. Inside I noticed the walls were paneled with stained knotty pine. They noticed the ice machine making tiny pellets of ice. We all sat down at a table covered with a red and white checkered tablecloth. I ordered a pitcher of sweet tea and they got a pitcher of Sprite. Our drinks were served in old red plastic Coca-Cola cups. The kids ended up getting mostly hotdogs and fries, but a few of them did try the Q and I think most of them did get at least a spoonful of the Brunswick stew. Their palates may not be quite ready for Q, but they did like the Brunswick stew. My pork plate had generous pieces of sliced pork and coleslaw that was mostly white slaw with carrots and some green specks and a large bowl of Brunswick stew. My sliced pork was incredible! It was tender and juicy and you could cut it with a fork. The sauce was an excellent sweet and spicy tomato based one. This sauce complemented the pork nicely. The coleslaw was incredible, nice and sweet and was topped with two pickles. And the Brunswick stew was the best I have ever had. I have been to Memphis, all over North Carolina, Kansas City, Texas, Alabama, and of course Georgia and nothing comes close to the original Harold’s Brunswick stew. Before we left Harold’s I ordered about a gallon of the stew to take home with us. Harold’s is one of the best Q and Brunswick stew houses on the planet. Harold’s is just south of Turner Field if you are on Capitol Ave SE. Capitol Ave SE runs into McDonough Blvd SE if you are heading South. Enjoy!
