Top 5 Cue Joints

250 Goners took the hamburger challenge. How do you roll with BBQ:

1) Korean style: Anjin, Costa Mesa, California
2) Hawaiian style: Helena's, Honolulu, Oahu
3) Santa Maria style: Far West Tavern, Santa Maria, CA
4) Memphis: Tom's BarBQ
5) Texas: Kreuz Market, Austin, TX

And if you are in Georgia: check out the Gumlog Barbecue and Fish Lodge and tell them Bongofury sent you.

I like Rudy's (out of Dallas, I think; but the one I've been to is in Albuquerque); there's a place here in Phoenix (Gilbert really) called Joe's Real BBQ that I think most would consider top notch; but by far the best BBQ I've had was at a little hole in the wall in Omaha Nebraska called "Hartland BBQ". A knock-your-socks-off surprise (...Omaha???).
