St. Louis, Kansas City and Chicago top the BBQ Survey

The list of great barbecue joints around Atlanta is practically endless. Creative Loafing has covered many of them over the years — Fox Bros., Heirloom Market, GQ’s, 678 Korean, Greater Good and Community Q are just a handful.

So it comes as a surprise that something called Lawn Starter just issued a survey that ranks cities nationwide for their barbecue prowess and places Atlanta all the way down at number 24. Topping the survey are St. Louis, Kansas City and Chicago. And at the bottom? Paterson, N.J. Details: lawnstarter.com
