 A very confusing Carolina hot sauce at the Roast Grill, Raleigh

 The New Map: Headed due West now

Annnnnnd velllkummmm to the show.
I’m a few parties in the hole (a perfect recovery day in Atlanta, Deutscheish goodbye in Charleston, a Tybee Island kick-turn), but there’s no time like the present for a launch. Look [...]
 The first stopver on the Southeast leg of the Red Beans Roadshow. A cast of dozens and a very offhanded Martha Stewart maneuver. Quite a sight to see, actually…
