Jim's is good as is Lannie's in Selma. Hancocks is good too but since I live a mile from there I guess I overlook it. The sauce, I really like but not too much to overpower the meat.

I'm old because I remember a time when there was only one Dreamland and they didn't serve BBQ, only ribs. I was in there one time and a girl at the next table ordered a BBQ sandwich and the waitress laughed and told her it would be awhile because they would have to cook a butt for her. Those ribs were some count back then when Big Daddy tended the pit.

The best BBQ easily was when John Henry Todd worked for the City of Selma and the City had a big pit by the stadium and Civic organizations would have Charity BBQs with John Henry as the pit master and they used Carl Morgan's sauce ( a clear vinegar based) recipe.

The worst is hard to say because I've had some that is far from memorable enough that I don't remember it. Anyplace that serves BBQ from a can or pre cooked days in advance makes this list.



Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.
