In between our assigned interviews for the Southern Foodways Alliance there was a lot of driving, camping at Walmarts, coffee drinking, some fine dining, a bit of bike riding, plus a long haul to Virginia for Thanksgiving, and even more barbecue.
These images are the outtakes from those days on the road. Shot from inside, outside, and on top of The Barbecue Bus. Hope you enjoy. Also look for a new barbecue post later this week.
