For the record, I love Brunswick stew! Around here I get it at chain BBQ places like Smokey Bones, but it is very good there. I also confess to liking Sticky Fingers BBQ, another chain, but at least it started here in the Chattanooga area (does that make it less of a chain restaurant, if you live in the town where it started?).
Before I first had Brunswick stew (in NC, during Duke days) I had something similar called "burgoo". It is a type of BBQ stew I used to get when I was in HS in western KY. When I lived in CT I used to have it shipped to me. My SO (from Jaw-Juh) didn't like it though.
