Hey Smokes...

There's no question that JL's isn't what it used to be.  Their meats are very average at best, but IMO they still make the best BBQ beans I've ever had.  And I've always loved their BBQ sauces.  Both the hot and the mild sauces are great IMO...I've made special trips over there just to buy a pint or two of sauce for my own meats.  The beans and sauce recipes are still the same as back in the old days...they bought those recipes from the original owner, when ownership changed several years back.  I'm not much of a mac and cheese eater, so I've never tried that particular side, but I definitely recommend the above mentioned items.

I'll have to give them another shot. I do remember they had good sauce. They used to have awesome mac and cheese which is why the Kraft disappointed me so badly.

Keep us updated on your travel plans ahead of time and maybe more folks will chime in with places to eat. Not just bbq but places to try the local cuisine also. When I am on the road, I don't want to eat "tourist food", I like to eat where the locals eat.

Smoke it up.

Lot of beautiful things to see. If you end up in Jersey you should see if Warren Grove is still open. It is a weapons range where the Military flies A-10's.....least they used to. Nothing like seeing the A-10's Gatling Gun in the real world. Check out Dingmans bridge and State Park. Also should make the trip on NY97,absolutely beautiful country....or at least it used to be...

Haven't been there in a long time but Asbury Park can be interesting. Heard that some Columbian, perhaps it was a Cuban drug kingpin bought the boardwalk and reopened The Stone Pony, where Bruce Springsteen got his start. Lot of history in Jersey.
