Th readers’ choices list for 2024 has come out. As usual there’s one appalling choice (VA) and two big surprises (SC and MD) – which is unusual. you can google the list or go to my blog for a little commentary. Johntannersbbqblog.

I had Pierce’s once a long time ago and didn’t think much of it.
I have to say that some of the bbq in those photos looks completely unappealing. The Maryland bbq photo has some chunks of meat sitting in a deep pool of sauce, alongside creamed corn swimming in a sauce.
The two brisket photos for WVa and South Carolina look like lean cuisine, designed for people on a strict regimen.
The photos weren’t taken at the restaurants. Henry’s doesn’t sell brisket. That plate ws never near the Smokehouse Barbecue Shack. I don’t think the Lexington #1 plate was from Lexington #1 – at least I’ve never seen that much outside meat on one plate before.
The photo I appended is from Henry’s.

Henry’s does brisket on Fridays, though I can’t tell you it’s every Friday. That photo is from the Henry’s blog.
But you make a good point that it is not typical of what they sell, so I don’t know why Southern living is using that photo.
Steve, I stand corrected. And appalled.
