OK, here is where we talk food.  Not the chain restaurant types of places, but the local mom 'n pop or neighborhood kind of places.  And, of course, BBQ has to be involved.
 

If you like a certain national or regional chain, there should be plenty of information on the web on where to find their locations.  WNC has their fair share of chains, but we would like to give you a more local flavor.

The restaurants will be grouped around rough metropolitan areas.  This is never going to be a comprehensive list, but motorcyclists tend to be drawn to certain types of restaurants, and that will be the focus here.
