This is a blog about pig out spots, written by a fastfoodie for other fastfoodies. I am trying out every top snackbar, frituur, imbis, bbq or burger joint I can find on my travels. The holy grail is not some boring small nouvelle cuisine meal, but rather the juiciest burger, the tastiest french fries, the most tenders ribs. It's snack time! Please leave your comments on the blog. Comments and suggestions are also VERY WELCOME at grondhopper[at]hotmail.com.

Billy Meadow's Station (Colbert, GA)
6729 GA-72, Colbert, GA, USA
Billy Meadow's Station is a big house/shack off the GA-72 that serves only a few items: grilled cheese sandwiches, hot dogs, coleslaw, and various chips/crisps. This notwithstanding, it has survived for a long time and I found out why today.
I get a Chili Dog and a Chili Slaw Dog (together $5.70). The bun and "dog" are pretty standard, except that they grill the buns on both sides, giving them a bit of a smoked flavor and nice crunch. Both dogs come with relatively light ketchup, mustard, and onions , but it is the chili that makes the difference. It has an excellent flavor, bit sweet and bit smoky, which means even a relatively modest amount does the trick. The slaw is chunky and not overly mayo-y, soothing the taste.
VERDICT: 92/100
I now know why Billy Meadow's Station survives: it does a simply thing really well. This is exactly the type of place this blog is about. Will be back for sure!
