Idk, I live in Phoenix.

I always went to Bigfoot BBQ in Flagstaff, mostly because it was kind of hidden downstairs behind a women's clothing store.

I have a hard time "ranking" food types I like (which is most kinds).  I THINK Asian food might be the most consistent, maybe I have no had bad Asian food, I've had some mediocre.  Mexican is about the same if you stay away from a chain.  BBQ?  This has a wide range IMHO, from superb to dry and tastless burfle.  French food?  Ranges from fantastic to ... meh.  Italian for me ranges from really good to just OK.  

Maybe BBQ has the greatest range among places one might visit.

and I'm thankful of that and many times take advantage

I judge BBQ places that way - unfortunately many do not have that option

BBQ here is pretty "pulled pork centric", but the places to have pork ribs and most offer brisket.  I'm most familiary with the PP so I get that pretty often, but my wife ordered brisket at Fox Bros. and I tried it, it was excellent.  I think that is a type most prone to being dry and chewy if done improperly.

We've yet to try the new place, today is getting cold and windy.

I rarely order pulled pork out

I prefer beef rib, beef brisket, pork rib, and sausage.  Even chicken is above pork butt on the pecking order

bought some beef cheeks yesterday.  Will be my brothers first attempt on his smoker

Yeah, pulled pork is very common in Georgia/SC/NC and probably Alabama.  It's the staple.  Of course in eastern NC, BBQ places often serve nothing but with their vinegar sauce, which is ... different, the PP will look grey and unappetizing.  It is akin to Cincy chili, when I first tried it I hated it, but over time developed a taste for it.

There was a place near where I lived that was a hole in the wall, and I took my wife there when we visited and it had moved way upscale, kind of shocking.

Pork shoulder on sale for a buck fifty a pound. I've got one in the fridge and will probably make chili out of one half and pulled pork out of the other.

Attached is my recipe for a Michael Symon pork stew that we make every year for NYD.

It's freakin' delicious.
