Thanks for the responses. I have eaten Bar-B-Que in Memphis, the Carolinas, and many other places, but must say that some of the best is at a place called Ridgewood Bar-B-Que in Bluff City, Tennessee. This place is about 10 miles from Bristol Motor Speedway in Bristol, Tennessee. If you are ever close, give it a try.

If you like a "dry rub" this might appeal to you. We've been there twice, but prefer
Oak Wood because of the sauces.

Bar-B-Que joints should be illegal if they are not in Texas, Memphis, or St Louis. No, I did not overlook the Carolinas.

But you did overlook the #1 BBQ city in all the land. I don't make up the facts. I just report them.

Sunny - I think we can call out #1 on the list in a heartbeat - Memphis.

Like I said, I only report the facts.

KC smokes its competition in list of America's best ribs joints | Local News - KMBC Home

KANSAS CITY, Mo. —Kansas Citians know that the city has some of the best barbecue in the country, but a new list is helping to back that up.

The Daily Meal has created a list of the 35 best barbecue places in America and Kansas City landed four of the top 10 spots.

Per this article Memphis is #1:
http://travel.usnews.com/features/Am...st_BBQ_Cities/

Austin comes in 1st in some surveys, and Lexington in another.

Living in the South, I have eaten a LOT of BBQ in my lifetime (at least once and sometimes twice a week) - from hole in the walls to the major chains - Sonny's at LSL has some of the best pulled pork and ribs I've ever eaten; I'm eager to try Oakwood when I get there full time next week.

And as a true BBQ connoisseur, a pulled pork sandwich ain't nothing unless you pile slaw on it.

Amen. About time you were on your way. Welcome.
