Was this list just created to piss off people from Kansas City?

After an underground dine in at the Rendezvous then it's Gus's Fried chicken with a draft beer. Get in my belly.

Glad that NC isn't overly represented here. I'm not one to crap all over the preference of people, but man I wasn't a huge fan of traditional Carolina BBQ.



Best smoked chicken I've ever had in my life is a little place in Longcreek, SC (outside the Chattooga River) called Brasstown. Only open in summers, F-Sun from 4 till it runs out. My God, I'd hurt someone for a half bird and their black mustard sauce.

It's Austin, Memphis, KC, DFW, one or 2 NC towns and then everyone else...

Texas takes it for me because Memphis/Alabama areas don't do beef. Pig only.

Walking in and having no brisket options is an automatic downgrade, but the Memphis dry rub ribs are the shite.

Let's randomly pick 25 cities and just randomly assign numbers 1-25 to each.

Really?



Having eaten plenty of barbecue in Austin and Nashville (which isn't even known for BBQ), the fact that New Orleans is even on this list is a joke. New Orleans does A LOT right with food...barbecue isn't one of them.

Someone was bragging a lot about Blue Oak and I went there a couple years back and couldn't get over how mediocre the food was compared to even a middle-of-the-road place in Nashville/Austin.

Yeah this is dumb. The real list includes the small towns that people travel to just to eat their bbq

If it really is among the 50 most populous metro areas, that would explain it.
