Barbecue comes in many forms — ribs smoked for hours and slathered in sweet and smoky sauce, slow-cooked brisket covered in a flavorful dry rub, juicy pulled pork or shredded chicken perfect for crafting a delicious sandwich topped with slaw. Fortunately, there are plenty of incredible barbecue restaurants found all around the country that offer everyone the chance to dine on classic dishes.
According to a list compiled by LoveFood , the “best barbecue restaurant” in all of Tennessee was actually a tie: Peg Leg Porker in Nashville and The Bar-B-Q Shop in Memphis. Here’s what the site had to say about the best “unmissable” barbecue in the state:
“The barbecuing at award-winning restaurant Peg Leg Porker is done by Carey Bringle , a legendary pitmaster with 30 years’ experience under his belt — he’s so good at his job that he’s been asked to cook at The James Beard House twice. Top choices include dry-rubbed ribs, pulled pork, and Memphis sushi (a platter of kielbasa sausage, cheese, crackers, and white barbecue sauce).”
