Georgian-style barbeque sounds yummy.  Actually, it all sounds yummy to me, 
Yankee-roots and NW Mountain State bones that I've got.  No true, 
traditional "barbeque" in my family background, except for one, kosher, 
barbeque sauce recipe that my mom got from a Jewish college chum of hers, in 
the 50s.  It's thin, but very good--sort of hits the middle between 
spicy/sweet/vinegar/tomato-based.
Speaking of regional dishes, I'm trying a chili recipe in the crockpot 
tomorrow that a TX friend swears is fairly close to "true" TX chili.  I 
can't *beLIEVE* I'm actually going to make chili without beans in it.....
