Best BBQ in the SEC is in Memphis.

No, not unless you are limiting it to Memphis Dry Rub specifically ... neither is Memphis in the SEC for that matter, but I get the whole Midsouth hub of the wheel thing.

I do agree however, KC-MO does not have the best BBQ. I'd probably have to rate them somewhere around 7th or 8th.

SC is the birthplace of BBQ and we do it well here. SC is the birthplace of BBQ .... .... there is no denying that historical fact.

I like several places in Texas quite a bit though - and they do brisket about as well as anyone in the country IMHO. But real BBQ is pork, that's just a fact.

I like Rendezvous' in Memphis, it's good. Not what it used to be years ago, but it's still pretty good. Tennessee has several good BBQ restaurants actually, Memphis, Nashville, Knoxville and even up around Johnson City.
