Resilience and new beginnings are recurring themes on this year's list. Instead of widespread gloom, the past two years have brought a flourishing of barbecue entrepreneurship. Established restaurants have added new locations, and some have evolved into nascent multi-state chains. A parade of ambitious new players has entered the market, too, and they are transforming the long-running Southern barbecue tradition with their energy and creativity.

We have several in our area...some about an hour away but well worth the travel time. Monk's has been around for years and it is always packed

It's too bad good barbeque joints aren't available in a greater number of places, I love that sort of food. Something I do enjoy when i can find the places. One good thing though My oldest son is very talented in that area so at least once in a while I can get things like that. There certainly are places with a lot of good food in New England, especially seafood for example but not many barbeque joints and when one comes around they don't seem to last here.

I kept being told about a place near Ft. Rucker, when I was stationed there. To hear it, it was the finest BBQ ever made. It tasted terrible, and it made me sick. It was at least a decade before I tried BBQ again. It might be some of the spices used, but I've never had good results with it.

SPC Michael Terrell - My Wife doesn't care much for that type of food but then She is a picky eater anyway, I'm not, I'll eat just about anything. She doesn't like strong spicy flavors, I do. Barbeque is not for everyone like a lot of foods aren't I guess either You like it or You don't, I do ! Seems also I have more of a cast iron stomach than She does which I'm sure also makes a difference.

SMSgt Lawrence McCarter - I simply can't eat a lot of types of food. I have to stay away from anything with vinegar in it, unless I want to camp out with my head over a bucket, for days.

I haven't had any BBQ, this millennium. The places I tried weren't that good., so I stopped looking.
