....nice to see The Old Dominion had a number of BBQ joints on the list...especially the one in Henrico (Hen-RYE-co) Virginia, having lived in neighboring Chesterfield County for many years before moving down here to Texas.....
We’ve tried a couple in Richmond over the years. ZZQ is really good, but the last one we tried — The Fishin’ Pig, I think — wasn’t all that good.
Next time we’re there we’ll have to try Redemption, since it made the list.
The Flying Pig...it’s really gone down hill!
I’ve been to Serious Texas BBQ a few times. It’s good bbq. Is it good Texas bbq? Not especially. I did appreciate that they had genuine Elgin sausage.
Only 3 in Memphis? And none I know of. Peg Leg Porker in Nashville. Never heard of it.
Have to admit as my first time to try pulled pork it was good, with the Texas Pete bbq sauce.
I’m from Texas and they don’t sell Texas Pete in Texas.
It’s not a BBQ sauce, per se. It’s a hot sauce. It has zero sweetness.

Sauce goes on bbq

I rest my case…
The odds he’s even tried the BBQ in 0.01% of the restaurants in the south is ZERO.
OK, I’ll relent on that logic.
😉🤣
Only 1 I’ve been to is Dreamland in Tuscaloosa. Best ribs I’ve had.
Back in the 90’s I was working in Nashville and our CEO had went to school in Memphis, and he used to speak fondly of “The Rendezvous” for ribs.
Finally, no Cooper’s on the list. Awful place with yankee vinegar sauce.
Raw wings are crazy pricey at $3 for a bunch of bones. I cut the wings off raw whole chicken until there are enough for a batch of hot wings. Whole chicken is half that price. Wings dry out on roasted whole chicken so might as well remove them for something better.
Kreisler clod in Lockhart. Ewwwwee. Good stuff
Whoever made that list missed some good ones.
City Market: Luling, Texas
Doziers: Fulshear, Texas
The Meating Place: Magnolia, Texas
None of these are in the big cities.
Yes sir.
I smoke briskets in the back and my neighbor smokes pork in his driveway. Most of the year, our street smells better than any BBQ joint.
