Sir, you are a very lucky man. Just mere minutes down 75 from Gainesville is the establishment of one Big Jim in Micanopy. His email is [email removed] get yourself some directions and head on down.

is tasty.
The pork sandwich though was worth the stop.

Thanks for telling us about Big Jim's - best ribs I ever had and the brisket ain't nothing to complain about either.

Big Jim is a great host and if you have lunch at his place on Thursday you will also stop by Friday and Saturday. You will want to go twice. Friday is Catfish and Hush Puppies. BBQ the other times. I've stopped at Big Jim's 4-5 times over the years on my annual pilgrimage to FL. My wife thoroughly enjoys stopping too.
