    I'm with you RPD...but after living in metro Atlanta for a lot of dang years I have come to the conclusion that Sherman did not do a good enough job in Atlanta on his march to Savannah...

    (On a side note, I've made the drive from Atlanta to Savannah a number of times and its one of the most boring rides one can take...how Sherman did it on horseback I can only imagine...but if you make the trip, please veer off 1-16 and make a detour to Vidalia for some ONIONS FROM THE GOOD LORD HIMSELF...)

    I remember living in Texas, where I was able to hone my BBQ skills and take it from "BackYard Cook" to the next level and the Onion Crazies in Texas made the Vidalia folks look tame. I remember the Texas 1015 Onion being the cat-daddy of sweet onions and many a BBQ included 1015's cut in half and grilled open face over Mesquite or Hickory seasoned with nothing but a pinch of salt and pepper and they were freakin' delicious.

    The history of Texas Onions is a good one...

    I did the opposite drive Savannah to ATL a few time while I was stationed at Ft Stewart, yeah not an exciting drive.

    Mmmmm. Vidalias!!
    If you get them anytime other than in the spring, avoid them as they have been in storage somewhere.
    It is the particular soil of that area that makes them so sweet.
    One of my favorite things is to peel them, and then eat them raw, like an apple.

    Leave the skin on, wet them just a little, wrap 'em in tin foil, and cook them on the grille.

    And I agree with Slippy - Atlanta is the pits. I had to spend two 8 week periods in Norcross in the 90's for Georgia Pacific Corp. The place sucks, big time.

    Ft. Stewart drive to Statesboro or Savannah was about the same distance, equally straight and boring, and equally prone to hit a deer on. Only thing worse was going the other way out the gate into Hinesville..... were you where prone to be attacked by 60 years old cougars, she-men, or the cops.

    All three, if you went to the Oasis on a Friday night.
