When Newt Gingrich was Speaker of the House, he used to arrange for Williamson Brothers to cater some Washington functions. Unsurprisingly then, this is the most conservative barbecue I've ever had, and the enormous restaurant on Hwy 120/Roswell Road (about a mile east of Highway 41 and the Big Chicken) has become a meeting place for Cobb County movers and shakers. The best things on the menu here are the fried red tomatoes, which make a spectacular appetizer. The Williamsons have bottled fresh peppercorn on the table; not powdered pepper but gigantic bits you can crunch between your teeth. Small dashes of this pepper bring out a remarkable flavor in the meat not previously evident. It's always been worth a visit for the political spectacle, but now that I know the secret of the pepper, I'm sold on the food, too.
