   Jim, if you are gonna make it down the West Coast, exit 25 on I-75
Fort Myers, and go east for about three miles. Place called Dave's BBQ serves up a pretty mean NC style and if you make it on the weekends there is a damn good breakfast, too. Don't forget to get the beans!
  Bonita Springs, exit 18 and east about 3-4 miles, on the right in front
of a shopping center is  Porky's Last Stand. The pulled pork sandwich is pretty good and a fairly extensive menu of other vittles in case anyone is not in the mood for Q. Full liquor bar and tv's for the sports fans.
   Marathon Fl, US1, in the Keys about 1/4 mile before the 7 Mile Bridge
is a little, open air joint called Porky's (no relation to the above) and it has one of the best chopped pork sandwiches I ever had and a fairly decent slaw to go with it. Also, the cheapest and coldest cans of beer in the area!

Good Luck,
 Steve
