Well folks it's that time of the year. One of the local papers says which places are the best in their genre. For BBQ the staff at Washington City Paper proclaimed that Urban BBQ is the premiere establishment in the area. While we have been there and think highly of it as well, I think the places like KBQ BBQ, Johnny Boy's, Willards, etc would have something to say about that as well!
Also they have posted some reader favorites which fall far far off the mark in our opinion, but we'll chalk that up to lack of knowledge:)
One note on the Staff picks, they have WFM Smokehouse as the second best. We had not heard of this place before but apparently its (http://tinyurl.com/dxd9zn) a Whole Foods Market out in Fairfax that smoke's Q, and by the reviews does a half decent job of it. We will have to investigate these claims!
