• In search of America's best barbecue •

Barbecue is surely as American as apple pie and Chevrolet - but there's still plenty of debate across the country about which style of barbecue is the best. From tiny shops with a single pit to local chains with drive-thru 'que, from smoked brisket to dry-rubbed pork ribs, from vinegar-based sauces to the tomato-based, BBQ Nation takes you on a tour of America's best barbecue, one delicious bite at a time.

Featuring America's best barbecue restaurants, competitions, and events whether they be well-known or brand-new, this always-changing app updates constantly as its authors travel country in search of America's best barbecue.

Here's how barbecue joints made the cut in this app: We had to personally experience them, and we had to have a good enough overall experience that we would recommend them to you. Scientific? Heck, no. Practical? You bet.

So consider this a work in progress. We are delighted to hear from people across this great barbecue nation about their favorite joint. And we promise to do our best to explore and uncover to the best of our capabilities and cholesterol levels.
