More ludicrous "rankings" ....  maybe 1-8 are in the running. 


I would like to see the methodology so I can dynamite it and the list.

Neither LA, Chicago, or NY are "BBQ cities". They're big enough cities that they're bound to have good BBQ--if you search hard enough to find the right place.
You can throw Houston and San Antonio in there as well.  They both have a couple of decent BBQ joints, but for a city that's multiple times the size of Austin, Houston has maybe 1/4 as many good BBQ places.  And it drops to maybe 1/10th if you consider Austin and Central Texas as a single region.

I would view the "best BBQ cities" as those which have a number of top tier restaurants, relatively easy to access.

The worst would be any number with no BBQ at all.

But if one includes small cities and towns, a TON more should make the best list, like Soperton, GA or Gadsen, AL. 

The you have a slew of southeastern cities like Birmingham and Shreveport and Little Rock and Columbia ...
My thoughts exactly.  
It's just nonsense to suggest none of the top BBQ cities are east of Memphis and south of NYC, lol.

The gap between 5 and 6 doesn't seem statistically feesible.

Can't speak to the others, but the bolded has come a long way in the past 20 years or so. You don't have to look too hard to find a good spot anymore.

You can find good Italian food in Austin and nobody's ever going to call Austin an "Italian-food city."

Didn't say Chicago was a BBQ city. I just said it's easier to find these days.

No need to be so sensative.

You were responding defensively about CD's statement that Chicago isn't a "BBQ city."  Having lived my entire life in the single best BBQ city in the state, therefore the country, therefore the world, and having our family own and operate a BBQ restaurant in that city for a decade of my life, I can assure you that Chicago isn't a "BBQ city" regardless of being able to find some decent places there, these days.

You call it sensativity, I'm simply employing specificity. :)

That's so weird to me.  We have several excellent French restaurants here.  One is even semi-affordable!
