• xenforo has sucessfully updated our forum software last night. Howevr, that has returned many templates to stock formats which MAY be missing some previous functionality. It has also fixed some boroken templates Ive taken offline. Reat assured, we are working on getting our templates back to normal, but will take a few days. Im working top down, so best bet is to stick with the default templates as I work thru them.

Best BBQ in your city

I saw it too and was gonna post the link here until I clicked on a couple cities and found a bunch of farked up so-called Q chains.
 
It's a CitySearch deal. In Austin it wasn't too far out of line. Too much weight given to those places IN Austin proper though. County Line was given way too much credit, IMHO. The last two times I went out there my ribs were beyond well done. Had to switch from beer to tea to get them down and still be able to drive home. Never get me in there again, unless hitting the drive-thru bar at the lake.
 
Most of mine were accurate.

Had the list been sorted by Rating instead of by miles it would have been a better listing.

Best ratings are in some of the bad parts of town, but that just makes the trip all the better. Alot of them are generations that brought up their low and slow secrets from the south.
 
There are some bad Q joints here in KC, and a lot of good ones. In the good group the meats are all so close in quality it would be hard to pick one over the other. If I like a place or not usually ends up being based on sauces, sides, service and am I comfortable going there in jeans and a golf shirt (formal dress for me unless a family member has died).

Big name and trendy spots seem to be at the top of the list at citysearch list. Out of 41 listings in KC the last 21 were rated 8.6, I've eaten at 5 of them and all serve very good food.
 
L.A.'s list is so screwed up that they actually have a Houston's as one of the 10 best BBQ joints. That's like saying McDonald's is a great place for fish.

All Houston's has is a rack of grilled baby backs.

Sad.

And my house wasn't even listed so you know it was wrong!
 
How can a poll about Q in these United States not include
Memphis,Tennessee and Dallas, Texas???

CitySearch. Their operation in DFW didn't make it. Never really heard why, but that's the reason DFW isn't represented.
 
They say the best BBQ joint in St. Louis is a KC Masterpiece. I'm thinking not.
 
Maybe one day we will do our own list. Best "Commercial" BBQ in the city.
 
Seattle BBQ joints were overall way over rated, maybe the folks doing the rating should be required to eat good BBQ at some point in their lives.

The only smoke ring those folks probably know comes from cigarettes.
 
I Love that site! It was a dead on hit with the BBQ joints in my town!

Wow! And to think I live less that 4blks from a Tony Roma's and I have NEVER been there!! (Please note this was written DRIPPING with sarcasm!)

you and TK can go there
 
Just thought of something. The sad thing about my city is that the best BBQ Restaurant is Houstons which isn't saying much. For good Q I have to leave my city.
