Springfield, MO named #6 in “Top Ten Best BBQ Cities,”?????

I just saw this in our local paper. I have no idea how they can make that claim. Most of the BBQ restaurants around here are average at best. My favorite place R&K Smokehouse (A Texas boy) closed, Dickey’s came to town and it is horrible, a guy in Sparta does a good job catering BBQ, but I have not been impressed anywhere around here.
(Except my back yard ).

Thanks Boots, I have noticed that BBQ joints are not as good as they used to be since I started smokin my own.

2manybikes , I had forgotten about Trotters! Fletcher’s and Stoney’s were also good. But all long gone now.

Maybe they meant Cashew Chicken and not barbecue
