BHAM BBQ tour 2011

My buddy Frank and I have decided to embark on a BBQ tour of Birmingham during the summer of 2011. We have a few rules in mind when picking out a lunch spot.

1)BBQ chains are allowed, but only the original location. There are so many local chains that started in Birmingham, we felt like it would be a disservice to not allow them. But the caveat is it must be the original location.

2)No sandwiches- merit should be based on meat with sauce being secondary.

3)Sides, desserts, etc- are irrelevant in this discussion.

The first report is coming as soon as i can wake out of this rib induced coma.
