I just read that this morning, and if you read the process behind it, they actually looked at online reviews for a lot of it. So in the end it's just another fluff piece put together by a bunch of liberals that write for a glorified online blog and basically they just did a bunch of research sitting at their computers in their parent's basement to come up with the article.
You can pretty much come up with the same stuff by just Googling "BarBQue" on your smart phone in whatever city or town you happen to be passing through at the time. Then read the often questionable reviews by the Hoi Polloi.
Yep. I’ve never heard of Brenda’s BBQ in Montgomery. Maybe it’s because really bad things happen on the Mobile highway and it’s probably the worst part of the city. You would think location would be a factor in this list. I also would be curious to see what the health department ratings are for these restaurants. That’s the first thing I look at when I enter any eating establishment no matter where it is located.
