Tonight, Chris Cognac, the Hungry Detective (who has been kind enough to read here in the past) will be in South Carolina on tonight’s show at 10:30 PM EDT.  The main topic mentioned in the listing for tonight’s show is barbecue.

What does this mean to me?  Well, at least one barbecue joint Chris visited is the One of a Kind Smokehouse, with Ken and Holly Blacklidge.  Ken and Holly have become family friends since my wife and I visited last October while staying at a family member’s house nearby.  Now, every time we’re there, we stop by, multiple times.  Ken and Holly run a great place, with real, honest barbecue with some great twists like bacon wrapped shrimp and smoked salmon. 

If you can, either watch, tape or Tivo tonight’s show.  And if you’re within reach, make a trip to the Smokehouse; you’ll not only get some great barbecue, you’ll get treated well.
