I've never done this. I've been to several but only because I'm there and have time. Usually while driving for work.
Might as well come to the Texas Fall Bash... :heh:Just to eat a plate of BBQ and turn around, my longest so far has been 3 hours each way. I've hit most of the Houston places and now stretching into north Austin so now 3 hours will start to become the minimum.
Drove from Michigan to North Carolina just for the BBQ. Four days straight of stuffing my gullet full of 'Q.
I have a general rule. If i want to travel just to eat something, i don't want to be hungry by the time i get home. If that's the case, its too far.
