Read MoreMy Great-Grandma, Grandma, Mother, and myself and all of my South Georgia family and beyond have been patrons of Vandy's since they began. I have shared a table with many friends and family members for a variety of holidays, family reunions, or just a weekday lunch. Since moving away from the area in 2001, I have made a point to visit every chance I can. I have moved from South GA to Augusta to Florida all the way up to Western NC and traveled near and far around this country trying to find that Vandy's flavor again, but NOTHING compares to the original. Each time I make my BBQ pilgrimage to Statesboro, I take (at least) a couple pounds of BBQ and a gallon of Brunswick Stew (the best in the world) home, to not only feed my hunger but to feed my soul. My wish for this South Georgia Icon is to never go out of business, because to me; Vandy's BBQ is more than just a restaurant. The old screen door creaking open to the building on Vine holds special memories of family members since passed. The smells of the pit and sounds of chopping BBQ reminds me of conversations, laughter, and even tears shared over a cold cup of Sweet Tea and slices of Sunbeam bread. I believe this is a perfect example of what sets Southern cooking apart from any other region, because without the feelings of nostalgia attached to each delicious bite....it's just food.
