Seriously? You don't think this comment belongs? Why not? It's an interesting statement that has to do with the food industry... and serious eats is about interesting things to do with the food industry. Not to mention, I think it's a good point and an aspect of the (high-class) food industry that could stand a little scrutiny.

Blue Ribbon in Arlington, MA if I'm anywhere north of Tennessee. Otherwise, I just can't pick.

But I LOVED both Kreuz Market and the Salt Lick. Mmmmm

I grew up in North Carolina and by far my favorite was Troutman's Barbecue in Denton, NC for the perfect chopped plate. When I moved to Huntsville, AL, I became a Big Bob Gibson's fan - but it's apples and oranges as far as styles go.

Fette Sau in Brooklyn, mostly for the atmosphere.

I love Ubon's in Yazoo City, MS. They smoke everything beautifully and my mouth is watering just thinking about the food and hospitality they serve up. You cant go wrong with them!

Ubon's also knows exactly how to make PERFECT fried catfish!

In NYC I just cant seem to get myself away from Virgil's...
