Food Network chefs are igniting the ultimate countdown of the 10 most fire-kissed, sauce-drenched, fall-off-the-bone barbecue in America. An "Egyptian cowboy" in Austin, Texas, redefines pit mastery with a North African-spiced rack of lamb, and in Charleston, S.C., a Chinatown-inspired platter delivers a cross-cultural knockout. Chefs such as Michael Voltaggio, Andrew Zimmern, and Aarón Sánchez bring the heat and the hard opinions as they prove that in the world of barbecue, every region, every pit, every bite tells a story.
Joe's Kansas City Bar-B-Que may be housed in a working gas station, but that doesn't stop them from serving up all your barbecue favorites. Their showstopper is the burnt ends sandwich made from bite-size chunks of smoked brisket.
