"While there are a number of different, regional styles of BBQ found across the U.S., it's safe to say that they all have a few things in common: They all make for an incredible meal, and you're probably going to make a bit of a mess eating it. But that's part of the fun, right? Truly great BBQ takes time, effort, and commitment - even though there are some great versions of pulled pork that you can make with as little as three ingredients."
"This is one of those things where it's nice to have someone else do the hard work for you, though, especially if you're in the mood for a stellar sampler platter. But who's doing it the best in each state? We wanted to find out, so we headed out to look for the best BBQ joints across the country. Some are massive operations with shout-outs from the Michelin Guide and the James Beard Foundation,"
Regional BBQ styles vary across the United States but share common elements: slow cooking, bold flavors, and a messy, satisfying eating experience. Truly great barbecue requires time, effort, and commitment, though some pulled pork recipes use as few as three ingredients. Operations range from Michelin- and James Beard-recognized restaurants to long-running local institutions that sell out early. Top destinations earn praise for meats, sides, and sauces, and often function as community touchstones with awards and loyal customers. Archibald and Woodrow's Barbeque in Alabama exemplifies this: family-run since 1962, hickory-smoked ribs requiring no sauce.
