Wiley’s BBQ is proud to participate in the “Daisies for Daisy” campaign. Fresh flowers always adorn our tables and for 2012 we will use daisies to honor Savannah’s own Juliette “Daisy” Gordon Low, the founder of Girl Scouts.
These awesome guys flew up to Savannah from Clearwater FL today to have lunch at Wiley’s! How cool is that! I suspect they had some kind of training in their Blackhawk helicopter…but they assured Wiley and me that they came to Savannah specifically for lunch with us! We treated them to soft drinks and dessert …hope they made it safely back to FL without having a stop for a nap!!
“My wife and I found this BBQ joint in east Savannah. What a find! Exceptional BBQ, Service, and atmosphere! I’m thinking of making the four hour drive, again, just for the BBQ. It’s that good.”
Whether you are new to town or have lived here all your life, it’s easy to overlook the many unique people, places and things the Savannah area has to offer.
In light of another new year, we offer a list of 101 things everyone should do – or at least consider doing – while living in this place we call the Coastal Empire.
The protege crew of local barbecue guru Wiley McCrary didn’t bring home the gold at the 13th annual Georgia State Championship Barbecue Cook-off on Saturday.
But the awards the team earned at the competition in Dillard, Ga. were a healthy start to the growth of a smoking-hot dream team, said their leader, Janet McCrary.
The team, which represented Wiley’s Championship BBQ restaurant on Whitemarsh Island, placed in the top 10 out of 60 competing teams in three categories, McCrary said.
“I’m really proud of them,” he said. “The big part is that we were totally collaborative.”
This is a place that you don’t want to bring your mother to. Only because you will be arrested for abuse, because this is “smack your momma” cuisine. This is life changing cuisine. You’re going to walk away asking yourself “why have I eaten anywhere else?” “Why didn’t my mother feed me this?” “Did my mother not love me?”
My first reveal is Wiley’s BBQ. Mr. Wiley is no secret to the BBQ world. He has won so many awards for his food it is down right embarrassing. This little gem is located in a strip center, so don’t miss it. So many treats so little time. I recommend Roman style eating here…that is gorge and purge. I know that is pretty gross, but take a few a bites and you will understand. This is serious throwdown, so don’t even play. Brisket, Mac & Cheese, pulled pork, homemade sauces, banana pudding**** (my personal favorite, made me miss my grandmaw), bourbon breadpudding, sweet tea and sooooo much more.
