Blue Ribbon Bar-B-Q - View this location on map

'Texas smoke versus Memphis rub, vinegar tang versus peppery heat barbecue debates will likely rage until kingdom come (and straight on into the sweet hereafter). This year our returning champion silenced at least one point of contention which of its two outlets is better by debuting a central, honking-big smoker (reportedly New England s largest) that turns out uniformly succulent sliced brisket, pulled pork, and an array of other regional specialties for both Blue Ribbon locations, as well as its booming catering business.'
