Tips / Travel

As the summer season approaches, food lovers across the nation are dusting off their grills and prepping for one of America´s juiciest favorites: barbecue. For those without grills or without the motivation to smoke, sauce and cook their own grub, some of the best barbecue in the States can be found at the restaurants below.

Memphis-style barbecue is served up with a side of home-cooked chips at this small eatery in Memphis, popular among the younger crowd. The pork plate and ribs are the top sellers.

 

 

The Joint

Standing apart from Creole and Cajun cuisines of Louisiana, this New Orleans barbecue joint is just that: a joint. The sausage (Creole-based chorizo) is seasoned with cayenne to provide an extra kick to the Southern specialty.

Lem’s BBQ

Far from the smokers of the south, the urban streets of Chicago still know how to make a good rack of ribs. Kick it up a notch with the flavorful and spicy hot links while paying tribute to the classic Chicagoan street snack.

 

 

Hometown Bar-B-Que

Brooklyn´s culinary scene is constantly on the cutting edge yet also remains loyal to the traditional favorites. Hometown serves Texas-style brisket as well as exotic Vietnamese barbecue varieties. Travel around the world of flavors without leaving Brooklyn, from Texas to Vietnam to the Caribbean.
