Roy's BBQ in Columbia City serves up a medal-worthy Georgia Gold sandwich

Freshly baked buns and a crunchy coleslaw kick make this one a winner

Our non-Seattleite friends love to regale us with tall tales of the best barbecue they've ever had -- always, of course, somewhere far from here. Seattle isn't exactly known for its barbecue joints, but we have some tales of our own thanks to Roy's BBQ [0], a tiny cafe tucked away in Columbia City [0]. With fluffy buns from neighboring Columbia City Bakery [0], any of the meaty sandwiches are sure to please. But our favorite is the Georgia Gold ($6.25). Its pulled pork melts into a tangy mustard barbecue sauce and is piled high with coleslaw for an added crunch. It's without a doubt a sandwich to brag about.

What do you crave? Who makes the sandwich that drives you to distraction? Post a comment below and tell us about it.
