The people have spoken. Sorry Htown

"Interesting findings:
New Orleans (1st) and Oklahoma City (2nd) rank as the best cities for BBQ in America.
With a score of 4.25, Charlotte, Wichita, and Virginia Beach tie in 3rd spot.
Anchorage, Plano, and Boston rank as the worst cities for BBQ in America.
Among the nation’s largest 75 cities, Orlando, St. Louis, and Honolulu have the most BBQ joints per capita.
Chicago, Los Angeles, and Austin are the cities with the highest number of top-rated BBQ joints (rated 4.5 stars and higher).
San Antonio, Houston, and Memphis have the highest number of low-rated BBQ joints (rated 3 stars and lower).
Blue Door Smokehouse in Lexington, Kentucky is the best BBQ restaurant in the nation, being the most reviewed 5-star rated BBQ joint.
Wichita and Columbus are the top-rated cities in the Midwest.
Seattle and Portland are the top-rated cities in the West.
Newark is the best place to enjoy a barbecue in the North East."

This explains how idiots like Sheila Jackson Lee and AOC get elected to Congress.

We also ranked the cities by the number of BBQ places per capita, as well as those with the highest number of top-rated BBQ places (rating 4.5 and higher)


This is a really stupid way to go about the rankings.

There is not many bbq places in New Orleans that I've ever been to

Blue Oak is my favorite but it hasn't been around that long

Houston, Fort Worth and San Antonio are the worst.

Makes sense.

They got one thing right. Boston deserves to be in the bottom 10. The bbq options have gotten much better in the last 5 or so years but it’s still extremely lacking.

BBQ shrimp?

I agree that New Orleans ranks at the top when it comes food and restaurants period, but I have never thought of it as a BBQ mecca.

I will take the compliment though.

Exactly. A city like Houston that had random bbq spots all over will have a bunch of less rated places.

So Texas is known for its BBQ greatness yet dominates the worst places to eat BBQ article.

The places getting 5 star ratings are from folks in cities with trash bbq and they don’t know any better.

Anything that consists of meat and bbq sauce is “OMG THE BEST EVER 5*******!!!!!1!!!”

New Orleans is pretty interesting

I long Consider BBQ a pretty big hole in NOLA’s cuisine but now we have Blue Oak, Central City, a couple Moe’s and I hear Good things about the Joint. I imagine We have less BBQ places than most cities but the ones that are there get good reviewsz
