Rendezvous ribs are boiled and then chargrilled. It’s a novelty for tourists, and sometimes it’s delicious. Sometimes it’s not. It’s never been consistent and it’s not real barbecue. Flo Payne makes the best sandwich, and hot links. Cozy Corner makes good ribs, pork and Cornish hens. Commissary makes good barbecue. Barbecue Shop is good. A&R is a gem. Even Tops delivers consistently good barbecue as fast food. Memphis barbecue is doing just fine. You just need to go to the right places.
When the top icons used to be good but are now awful, I'd say it's not doing quite fine. I'll definitely check out some of the non icons next time through, thanks for the list.
 
On BBQ, I’m not getting the hate on the options here in the mid-state from a couple posters. Yeah, we don’t have a “style” here, but the quality is dang good. In fact, the overall food quality in Nashville has skyrocketed just in the past 10 years to world-class status. BBQ is just one of those that’s taken a leap forward.

Pulled pork with white sauce, brisket with meat candy in spades, dry rub, wet rub, meat ‘n three style, urban style, redneck taco style...you name it, we got it.

Heck, there’s even smoked turkey at Martin’s that’s the best thing on the menu when paired with the white sauce.

Trashing BBQ here is sheer ignorance.
 
So, based on where we are with current staff what would you consider a realistic haul of top 25 instate players?

I've been thinking about this and I feel like we miss on most, I think we close with maybe 7 or 8 mainly lower rated guys. Just a gut feeling. I see us outside top 20, maybe fall somewhere in the 22 to 26 range.

If you guys expect anything but struggle the next 5 years you're kidding yourselves.

I think we get no more than maybe 4. I think we miss on Nolen, Simpson and Hayden.

Elwoods is also good.

Martin's is good for sure. Where else in Nashville has that quality? Pretty much everything in Nashville is getting elevated as far as food goes, so I'd assume bbq is headed that direction too.

Keep rejecting the haters, Brillo. Greater Nashville is for foodies now.

My favorite style of BBQ is Monroe County Kentucky style. Hole in the wall places with cinder block walls and signs that advertise the availability of RC Cola that serve pork shoulder sliced at a quarter of an inch, mopped with a vinegar, cayenne, and lard mixture, and cooked slow (at least as slow as you can cook a fourth of an inch of meat) over hickory coals.

Top it off with slaw, beans, and a slice of white bread in a foam tray.

There's no real way to pull that meat off the bone that doesn't involve picking at it with your fingers.

Hell, it may not be "real BBQ" but as a wise man on the internet once said, "It's still real to me, dammit!"
