THAT ONE TIME WHEN AUGUSTA BBQ WAS SERVED AT THE WHITE HOUSE. šŗšø
Long before food photos, viral restaurant reviews and social mediaā¦
Augusta sent a little taste of home all the way to the President of the United States.
In 1980, Larry Sconyers packed up the barbecue and headed to the White House, where Sconyers Bar-B-Que served President Jimmy Carter and members of Congress.
Pork. Chicken. Ribs. Beef.
And, of course, hash and rice and sweet tea.
Sconyers had started as a small Peach Orchard Road barbecue restaurant opened by Claude and Adeline Sconyers in 1956.
Twenty-four years later, Augusta barbecue was being served at the White House.
Thatās a pretty good Augusta story.
Who remembers the old Sconyersāand what was ALWAYS on your plate?
