I'm not so sure that many of the top spots aren't bought and paid for, or maybe I'm that picky. Last year I made an effort to visit the closer of the top 50 around here. I was thoroughly disappointed, one place we went to, we ended up taking a couple of bites and tossing the rest. Sad thing was, they were in the top 5. So I agree, being mentioned is great advertisement, but I'm fairly certain there are some "buddy deals" going on. After that I lost all respect for anything Texas Monthly and BBQ.
