My Barbecue Bucket List

I have created my own barbecue bucket list. It includes the barbecue restaurants I would like to eat at before I die. I am 27 years old, so hopefully I have plenty of time to cross out everything on the list. Also, I will be sure to write a post on the blog about any restaurant on the list which I visit.

My Barbecue Bucket List

JJ's Rib Shack     Atlanta, GA

If you are a fan of Outkast or Goodie Mob, you have probably heard about this place in their songs. It is arguably the most well known barbecue restaurant on the southside of Atlanta.

Fresh Air Bar-B-Q     Jackson, GA     Macon, GA

They have been serving barbecue since 1929 and have a strong reputation in Georgia.

Rendezvous     Memphis, TN

The folks at Rendezvous serve ribs smoked over charcoal. Are they dry or are they wet? You decide for yourself after you visit.

Bono's Pit Bar-B-Q     Several locations throughout Florida and Colorado

This restaurant was recommended to me by a coworker with a trustworthy knowledge of barbecue. Take a look at the appetizers section of the menu. They serve fried squash!

Chicken Comers     Columbus, GA

This restaurant originally started by serving barbecue plates out of some one's house. Today, it has a new location and many people claim it's barbecue sauce is world renowned.

The Salt Lick     Driftwood, TX

I learned about this restaurant while watching a Man v Food episode. The pit looks like what I imagine the inside of Santa's bag of toys to look like on Christmas Eve. Better yet, the pit resembles a culinary mausoleum. Sausages hang from above while various slabs of meat smoke directly over the pit.

The Pit     Raleigh, NC

I saw the pitmaster of this restaurant take on Bobby Flay in a rib smoking showdown. Needless to say, Bobby Flay want back to New York City a loser.

Jack's Old South BBQ      Braselton, GA

Founded by Myron Mixon, the world champion in barbecue a 1,000 times over, I would like to see if his barbecue is legit.

Big Bob Gibson's B-B-Q     Several Locations

I would like to visit Big Bob's to try the barbecue chicken with white barbecue sauce. I believe the sauce by itself would be worth the visit if all the hype about it is true.

That is what I have on my bucket list so far. Is there anything I should add to the list? Knock on wood, but I believe I have plenty of living left and this is a relatively short list for a lifetime of eating.

White Barbecue Sauce!
