Hott Links: Best BBQ in America

LexingtonNC

So Budget Travel recently asked me to complete the very difficult assignment of writing about The Best Barbecue Joints in America. Tough life, I know. Unfortunately they didn’t pay me to go to every one of these places, just to research them and get really, really obscenely hungry. So take a read if you’re a meat eater and feel like getting your drool on. Don’t forget to do that thing where you tell me what an idiot I am for missing ______.
