If you care to include "Not Tennessee", I'll add The Hog Pen outside Osceola, AR. I would legitimately put them head-to-head with the best anywhere. Just like Ms. Helen, there's a woodpile out back where someone has to swing a maul for them to stay cooking.

And specifically, the smoked chicken at Backyard BBQ in Brownsville is probably the best anywhere.

second on Ramey's. the finishing sauce is vinegar and cayenne kind of like jacks creek bbq when i was a kid.

we used to have a very good joint in Camden until Tommy got cancer and sold his business. some of the bbq judges from memphis used to come buy his sauce by the case. i used to rag him and tell him that sauce taste a lot like my step grandaddy's before he died, which Clyde may have given him the recipe but ill never know for sure.

Seems like some of the best BBQ comes from a run-down building if they are in an actual building.

Or back yards
