Smokin' Stokes

AUGUSTA ROAD. The pared-down decor of Smokin' Stokes is a fitting complement to the richness of the barbecue. Meat is foremost here, and nothing obscures its award-winning presence. Whether you enjoy it on a bun, a platter, or topping a baked potato, you can't beat this recipe, which uses Cheerwine soda as an integral ingredient. The fries, too, are special, crisp and tinged with cinnamon to give them an extra kick. For even more Southern punch, order an RC cola and finish things up with a big helping of banana puddin' (no "g" necessary).
