Dreamland, Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
Course, I am a northern girl who visited the south one time (wish it could be more!) and have to be satisfied with Carson's BBQ in Chicago.

Not to worry. BBQ/smoked meat is a spiritual (thus portable) phenomenon.

I'd willingly pay $100 for the recipe of the smoked burgers and sauce that
I had from a stand (Tasty-Freeze?) in Tonkawa, Oklahoma as a child.

And don't forget the episode of "MASH" when they got ribs and sauce flown from
Chicago to war-time Korea.
IIRC, the terms "ambrosia of the gods" and "better than s-x" were used during
that show to term the BBQ imported from Chi-town.
(but I suspect that the great BBQ in Chicago is the heritage of the blacks who
made that trek from the Mississippi Delta and other points northward to Chicago.)

As an BBQ lover with a few miles on the chassis...I can say that some
BBQ is definitely better than some s-x!!!

I'll leave the comparison to "ambrosia of the gods" to the folks over in
the theology departments and seminaries.

Is it wrong being satisfied with Carson's in Chicago? lol

Don't forget the au gratins!

Freeagle--

You don't have to be satisfied with Carsons in Chicago! Try the Twin Anchor on the Near North Side or Robinsons on the South side. Many years ago when Mike Royko had a barbeque cookoff in Grant Park, Mr. Robinson won. His ribs are still great!

I'll throw in the fourth vote on this thread for Dreamland, but only for first runner-up.

The winner and all-time champion is Big Bob Gibson's in Decatur Alabama.

Actually, Freeagle, you don't have to be satisfied with Carsons in Chicago! Try the Twin Anchors on the near north side or Robinson's on the south side. When Mike Royko had a barbeque cookoff in Grant Park (obviously a number of years ago), Mr. Robinson won. He's been putting out great barbeque ever since!
