I was just taking a look at this book.

Side #1 One & Only BBQ-Twice Baked Potato Salad
Side #2 Central BBQ-Nachos
Sauce- Double J's Smokehouse & Saloon-Mustard Sauce
Drink-Ghost River beer
Restaurant to eat it in- The Rendevous

If you have a list of favorites in a BBQ town or region please ad your choices to this thread.

Why the Rendezvous? The wait staff are trying to get you in and out as FAST as possible, and can be somewhat pushy about it. Not exactly a leisurely experience for a large meal like that.

You would have to ask the author but it's probably the history that goes along with the Rendevous. Princes, Princesses, Rock Stars, Presidents of the United States all have to make for good stories. The staff,many having been there for 40 years just add to the history.

I concur.

[deguerre]

I concur.

Apparently so does the guy that made the list. All the food comes from elsewhere. Nothing from Vergos' place is on the menu.

I'd just show up at Guerry's
