Episode 90: I'm Sorry, Sprayberry BBQ

About this episode

The episode discusses the history of Sprayberry's Barbecue and includes an apology related to the podcast's postponement.

"Sprayberry's Barbecue had its beginnings as Houston Sprayberry's gas station located on Highway 29 just north of downtown Newnan. In 1926, Houston was selling enough barbecue sandwiches from the back of the station to close the pumps and become a restaurant. With his barbecue sauce and wife Mattie Lou's Brunswick stew, Sprayberry's Barbecue became Newnan's most popular eating spot." Our formally planned podcast has been postponed due to HOSPITALS, TIGERS, AND BEARS OH MY! But here is the greatest apology ever recorded on tape. Sprayberry BBQ. Please Listen. I love you.
