If you’ve followed our blog for any length of time you may have noticed a food theme that has carried through our many varied posts….BBQ. Julie and I both love it and being able to try new restaurants in different parts of the country has been one of the highlights of our trip. While we had been trying new BBQ restaurants all over the country we did not start to keep track of exactly where we had been until we reached Texas. Since then we started an Excel spreadsheet to track everything from the date we ate to what we had and what we thought. The following is a list by visit date of our favorite 10 BBQ spots!
