A tale of pavement and Southern food

Between August 31 and September 7, 2012, I drove from Irvine, CA to Washington, DC. Taking a longish Southern route, I passed through Texas, Arkansas, Tennessee, and Kentucky, among other states.

This is a blog of photos and writings from that drive.

The trip turned out to be greatly (and pleasantly) an odyssey of barbecue and fried chicken. For quick reference:

• Barbecue: Austin, Memphis, Nashville, Knoxville
• Fried chicken (Little Rock, Memphis, Nashville, and Corbin KY, all bundled in one post)

Along the way there are also great views, road trip humor, white sand, big rocks, and more! Oh, and songs. Can’t have a road trip without songs.

So join me on my ride! Hope you enjoy it—I know that I did.
