11 Legit BBQ Chains You Should Get Excited About

So debated here quite a bit about what constitutes a chain. More than one location?

Regardless of being chains, these places look legit.

"Despite its increased presence in major metropolitan areas, in many parts of the country, BBQ is an abstract. Something you have to travel to get, or settle for an inferior product just to get an idea of what the bark-covered fuss is about. "

"To that end, chains serve as the missionaries of BBQ. In many places, they introduce the very concept of slow-and-low to populaces whose ideal of a good rib comes from an ancient Chili's jingle. This is a mixed blessing. Because chains often provide an introduction to BBQ, the arrival of a mediocre one in a BBQ desert can ruin BBQ for those who flock to it. But, though Texas truebloods might call heresy, there are in fact some chains that do fantastic work, employing master smokers to create authentic, sometimes even transcendent BBQ experiences"
