Its obvious that Baton Rouge lacking a BBQ scene? I think Hogs for the Cause has tremendously helped push the New Orleans BBQ scene but what about Baton Rouge - is it all chain-esque BBQ joints? Places like TJ Ribs, Sonnys, Podnuhs, Jays, VooDoo, CouYons...

Is Smokin Aces the only joint there is? Any other hidden gems?

Pretty much. There's also a food truck that's pretty decent, but that's about it.

I get the AYCE dry run ribs at Sonny's. Decent ribs, 2 TX toasts, and 2 sides for $13.99 -- can't beat it.

Other than Smokin' Aces, David's Tiger Express in Central is the only really good BBQ I've had in town. They do it on weekends. Going to have to try Bergeron's because everything else they do is great.

BR BBQ is awful at best. The pork that is smoked/roasted at City Pork is pretty solid. They also serve up a nice brisket over red beans which is an interesting spin on that dish.

I don't know how this board feels about HI-HO BBQ, but it's been a family favorite of mine since I was a kid. My dad and I both grew up on those sandwiches. I get some every time I go home.

Went to Smokin Aces yesterday and it is legit. True bbq, as good as anywhere in the south
