iReport —

I was on a business trip in this small town just outside of Chattanooga, TN and asked someone where I could find some decent BBQ.  I was told to go out to this old train depot and look for a place called Smokin' Ed's. 

 

I found it, and went in to grab some food.  I left there knowing without a doubt in my mind that I had just ate the greatest BBQ on the face of the planet.  Ed, the owner has been smoking meat for quite a few number of years now.  He and his wife run the place.  It has 3 tables, so it is small on the inside.  It is not a quick lunch, but nothing great ever comes about quick anyway.  They have their kids with them to.  I found that kind of interesting as well.  It is as if they are inviting you into their home for lunch. 

 

Ribs - fall off the bone incredible

Wings - smokey and tender

Sandwiches - AMAZING

 

This place is heaven on earth for any BBQ fan period.
