Harold's Barbecue - Atlanta, GA

"Harold's is more famous for its chopped and sliced pork, but these ribs demand attention! In the background: cole slaw and a bowl of Brunswick stew."
Michael Stern






"No Georgia barbecue meal is complete without some Brunswick stew. At Harold's, it is a fine-textured soup/stew of pork, corn kernels, and tomato shreds."
Michael Stern



"Delicious all by itself, Harold's cornbread is essential for mopping and sopping sauce off one's plate. It's also good for crumbling into bowls of Brunswick stew."
Michael Stern



"Harold's has been an Atlanta destination for more than half a century."
Michael Stern



"The bread for this sandwich is lightly toasted on a grill above the wood fire behind Harold's counter. It is ordinary bread, but the smoke taste it inhales makes it special."
Michael Stern



"In the South, a happy pig almost always signals good barbecue."
Michael Stern



"Real barbecue: throughout the day, Harold's pit man comes out back to this shed so he can fetch a basket full of wood to burn down to coals for the fire inside."
