It’s the Final Four countdown!
No, not basketball – this is more important than that. It’s the Virginia Final Four Barbeque Restaurant contest sponsored by Virginia Living Magazine.
Andy Reams sent me a note recently advising that contest had come down to four restaurants – McCoy’s BBQ in Fredericksburg; Scoot’s BBQ in Gloucester; Triple Crown BBQ in Luray; and King’s BBQ in Petersburg.
Andy said he was quite familiar with King’s and says it’s the best of all.
“If you are ever heading to the Carolinas via I-95 S and get near Petersburg, get off at Exit 48B, Wagner Rd W.,” Andy said. “ Go about 1/4 mile and turn right at the light. Go about 100 yards and King’s is on the left. You can’t miss it. Their homemade onion rings are out of this world.”
Andy predicts it will all come down to Scoot’s vs King’s.
I have to admit, I haven’t eaten at any of these final four BBQ places, but if they are as good or better than Cowlings in Waverly, they have to be top-notch.
Next time you’re in any one of those towns, and assuming you like barbeque, check them out.
