Georgia Restaurant Named Best for ‘Tried-and-Tested’ Grub
Winter isn’t really barbecue time, but really, it’s always a good time to enjoy some delicious barbecue. With that in mind, Georgia has some fantastic places to get your barbecue fix. Whether you’re eating at a locally-owned restaurant that’s been there for years, brand new restaurant that you’re trying out for the first time or chain spot that just happens to have good grub, it’s always an appropriate time to enjoy some delicious BBQ. Now, one Georgia barbecue spot has been named the best for its delicious food.
Best BBQ in the U.S. and Georgia
The food experts at Love Food have put together a roster of the best places to eat BBQ across the U.S. “American barbecue is up there with the best in the world, and the variety of styles between each state means there’s always more to discover,” they state in the feature. “But with so many standout restaurants and brilliant BBQ spots all over the country, it can be hard to know where to begin.” That’s where they come in. They ranked the best spots to get BBQ based on “genuine user reviews” from a favorite of platforms. Then, they determined the best.
Barbecue is a very American tradition, but it started with Caribbean roots. According to a feature on barbecue in Smithsonian Magazine, “The original styles of barbecue are thought to be those that originated in the easternmost colonies, like the vinegar-based “whole hog” barbecue found in Virginia and North Carolina.” They add that, “the technique of adding sauce to the meat as it cooks came from British colonists who incorporated the idea of basting to preserve the juices within the meat with the Caribbean barbecue technique.” So, that’s a bit of barbecue history, in case it ever pops up during trivia night.
So, which Georgia spot made the cut for the best barbecue in America? It’s Georgia Boys BBQ, with locations in Longmont, Greeley and Frederick. “This place has brisket, ribs, pulled pork, and smoked sausage, not to mention smoked turkey and chopped chicken,” Love Food notes of the Georgia spot. “The pulled pork fries – with melted Jack cheese, buttery Texas toast, and sweet potato casserole – get glowing reviews.” They also offer catering services and a food truck, so you can enjoy delicious BBQ on the go. Founded by Matt and Nick, “At the young age of 29, these two fraternity brothers packed their trucks and headed west to pursue the Rocky Mountain lifestyle,” the restaurant states.
