#28..This looks like the place I visited last Christmas and the building initially turned me off.....but it was at my son's request, and once inside I found some of the best barbecue ever!...

If you don't mind eating off butcher paper, and wiping your hands with paper towels, LOL...

..it's great barbecue....soooo tender!!!

And the side dishes....a carbohydrate lovers dream :) ....included potato salad, great cole slaw, and oh my goodness banana pudding.

Forget counting the calories at this place.

And while I'm at it.....we also visited the BEST donot shop ever!!

The Lone Star Bakery ...home of Round Rock Donuts!!!

New Zion Missionary Baptist Church has been ranked #1 in Texas by Texas Monthly for the last several years and #1 in the nation by several magazines. Even #1 in the world.

And CBS: "One national magazine called it the best barbecue place in the world. And, the price is right: all you can eat for $8."

And FILMBBQ.COM: "Many Texans accept barbecue as sacred, but we've only found one place that makes it a part of their church. Welcome to New Zion Missionary Baptist Church, where four days a week, Ms. Annie Ward serves up BBQ that draws followers from around the globe. Written up in "GQ" as one of the top places to fly into to eat in the WORLD (only three in U.S.), no one can touch the hard work these ladies and their cooks put into what has been dubbed by outsiders "Holy Barbecue."

I haven't eaten there in many, many years- since childhood.

I wonder that if I would be disappointed eating the same sandwich today.

Some memories are best left memories.

Actually, I was in Texas last year and had the best BBQ I had ever tasted.

Just north of San Antonio... "Rudy's" I think.

the swanky Westside of Los Angeles, they had a recent article of "Sunset" managazine that claimed to have an article about the best BBQ in "the west".

L.A. isn't known for it's BBQ, but I'll bet that issue probably listed Buster's in Saticoy and Dr. Hogely Wogely in Van Nuys.

"Sunset" had a great article on Western BBQ. They also featured "Santa Maria BBQ" - all up and down Broadway in Santa Maria, different church, civic and social groups sell BBQ in shopping center parking lots. It's

"in Memphis there are two:

Corky's (several locations - we like the original on Poplar)

The Rendesvouz (down near Beale Streer) "


I live in Missouri and have eaten at Arthur Bryant's, Gates, and a bunch of other really great barbeque places. But I've got to admit that I ate the best ribs I've ever eaten at Corky's. I was down there for a convention a couple of years ago and The Rendesvouz hosted our group on their main level. They set up buffet lines with all kinds of barbeque. That was pretty good but dinner at Corkys the following night beat it.

The food's OK but you have a sense that you don't belong.

Two places in NYC where you'll never find Deaniac soybean eaters:

Virgil's in Times Square. The Texas Link and the brisket are my favorites. Also the best onion rings on earth.

And any of the Brother Jimmy's outposts. Go for the rib combo with three styles of ribs.

Must to avoid: The Dallas BBQ chain with parboiled ribs and 32-ounce neon-colored frozen drinks.
