While New York may be the capital of cosmopolitan living in the US, Georgia is the capital of hospitality. So in this episode the crew of Unsavory Adventures heads out to Atlanta to get a taste of that good old southern hospitality, and a taste of some of the best hot dogs in the south.

Join us as we visit the famous Varsity Restaurant and Drive-in as we enjoy the flavor of the south and bump into a cast member of the Midlife Road Trip show along the way. - Barry

I read once that intelligence is acquired. So the crew of Unsavory Adventures headed out to Evansville Indiana for a Fried Brain Sandwich. Now, many of you have written me asking if I was afraid of getting Mad Cow Disease. I would never eat a cow's brain, don't be ridiculous. These sandwiches are made of pork brains, breaded and fried. The cook at the Hilltop Inn has been making these sandwiches for 18 years, and has never tried one.....

What did they taste like? Well, let's just say, in the words of Alton Brown, “It's an acquired taste.” Just imagine a grey piece of seemingly processed meat-like substance shaped into a sandwich. If you like the McRib sandwich, you'll love fried brain. So, come with us to the Hilltop Inn in Evansville Indiana, voted the “Manliest Restaurant in America” by Asylum Magazine. Let's put our heads together and enjoy a Fried Brain Sandwich!

Leave me a comment, where should we go next? - Barry

“Paris”, Hemingway once said, “is a moveable feast.” And while there are certainly plenty of wonderful restaurants in Paris, such as Ducasse and Le Meurice, when Barry and I go to Paris we love eating at the smaller cafes and bistros.

One of Barry's favorite cafe foods is the Croque Monsieur – a ham and cheese sandwich. But this is no ordinary ham and cheese sandwich, this is Paris, after all. The French add a creamy béchamel sauce to the ham and cheese inside, then they grate Gruyere cheese on the top, and place the sandwich in a broiler until the exterior is crusty and bubbling. It's an explosion of flavors in your mouth!

So take a trip with me to the Left Bank, and try this delicious Parisian specialty, the Croque Monsieur. - Debbie

Can you tell the difference between real southern ribs and fake processed meat pressed into the shape of a rib?

In this episode I travel with the Unsavory Adventures camera crew to Birmingham Alabama on a rib taste testing trip. Along the way we encountered a "rib sandwich" at a fast food chain. Oddly enough, the "meat" under the bun was shaped like a small rack of ribs, but it contained no bones. When we cut into the "meat", the inside resembled a grey sponge of indeterminable origin. Since these fake sandwiches were being sold nationwide, one member of our crew suggested we film a taste test at a southern rib festival to see if anyone could identify the fake ribs. So off we headed to St Petersburg for their annual RibFest (which included Rick Springfield and the Doobie Brothers as entertainers) and set up our taste test table outside the main gate.

Check out the video, the results of the taste test may surprise you.

Oh, and don't be fooled by the shot of me eating one of the fake ribs - I didn't swallow. - Barry

Please leave a comment - the crew and I would love to hear where you feel we should go next!
