East Coast Trip - D.C. to Galveston

I am very excited to be going on an extensive family road-trip throughout the East Coast, Starting at Washington D.C., Greensboro, Charlotte, Atlanta, Mobile, New Orleans, Houston, and finish in Galveston. I am looking forward to eating authentic BBQ along the way, and meeting outstanding pit-masters who can teach me a new trick or two in their grills/kitchens. If I get to cook along the way, it will be a totally awesome bonus. I plan to post extensively on the trip, introduce you all to some awesome new places, and post dishes I taste along the way. I never been to this part of America, and my mouth already is watering with anticipation. Please reach out with recommendations, and any invitation to see your kitchens. Available dates are August 5th through 19th

Please leave a comment which Authentic Restaurants are a must stop, and what are the best dishes along the route.
