18 Best Barbecue Joints in America

Thanks for the link. Guess I have been unfortunate in never finding any store bought bbq as good as what I make at home. My grandkids can make better bbq than 99.44% of them places which does it for a living. lol.

That's because you never ate at my place. Ahahah. Sorry, couldn't help it - but I actually agree with you. I've eaten some horrible BBQ out, some of the absoluite worst has been in Texas.

We have an old pal who is a great comp cook who is in the retail bizness. He serves the crappiest bbq in town. Funny how that works huh?

Agree with what folks here have to say for the most part.

I think a lot of that has to do with cook time vs guests available for serving. We home cookers prepare our meat to one specific serve time whereas restaurants prepare their food and hold throughout the day in most cases. That is, unless the operation is like Franklins turning out tons of food where holdtime is minimal.
