Regional barbecue styles across the U.S. offer diverse meats, sauces, and sides, making barbecue a cultural and culinary American tradition.
The absolute best barbecue restaurants in the U.S. tend to be local spots or small regional chains that cater to specific styles, and larger barbecue chains have been struggling recently. The two largest, Famous Dave's and Dickey's Barbecue Pit, both saw sales fall last year, and overall the barbecue chain sector saw a 2% decline in sales, according to Technomic (via NRN), which is quite bad given the 3% growth of chain restaurant sales overall.
