Memphis No. 10 on BBQ Destination List - I Disagree

The Memphis Business Journal reported that CheapTickets.com says Memphis TN will be the tenth best stop for bbq during the upcoming 4th of July. I have to say I disagree. According to the website New York City came in at number one followed by New Orleans. I realize NYC has a great bbq scene, but in this bbq fan's opinion Memphis barbecue cannot be beat. One stop at Jim Neely's Interstate BBQ or Rendezvous BBQ should prove this.

Washington DC came it at number 3 followed by St Louis, Dallas, Kansas City, Cincinnati, Charleston and Little Rock. CheapTickets.com used it's employees across the country to come up with the best place to eat barbecue for the fourth of July. I am curious how many employees they have in NYC and how many they have in Memphis. Could be just a matter of numbers... more people in NYC voting for New York bbq and only a couple in the Memphis area voting for Memphis BBQ.

I say Memphis BBQ is Number One in the Nation At Any Time.
