The 2024 Best BBQ Cities list has, unsurprisingly, Kansas City, Missouri as No. 1 on the list, followed by Memphis, Tennessee; Houston, Texas; and the other Kansas City — the one in Kansas proper.
Now lets take it to Florida! Orlando (24th in all America) came in #1 and Jax was right behind at #2 (32nd in all of America)
Rounding out the Top 5 is Los Angeles which edged out other prominent barbecue locales for scoring high in several of the metrics used to order the list.
Other California cities to make the list include San Diego (29th), San Francisco (74th), Corona (76th), Elk Grove (81st) and Sacramento (89th).
