    Default Best BBQ in Michigan?

    Looking for good BBQ in Michigan. Hope that's not futile. So far the best we've found near home is actually at City BBQ down in Sylvania, OH! lol

    So, if you have a favorite place with really, really, really good BBQ, brisket, pulled pork, etc, please list it here with enough info so I can find it. I'm looking for places to ride this summer!

    Thanks.

    That's an excellent idea. Something like the ride up to Joe's Gizzard City - just pick a destination and a time. Unfortunately for you some of the best looking places are in your back yard! lol Hopefully we'll get some more suggestions. And we could always stage an invasion of Ohio, the same way they came up to Michigan, and meet at City BBQ in Sylvania. In any event it will have to be after the Durango event.

    Jump over to Windsor, some say it is Michigan, and hit the Tunnel BBQ. Right at the exit of the tunnel. It has been around for 50 years or better.

    BBQ was my idea. The group Meet 'n Eat was definitely your idea. But I'll be happy to try to coordinate something. We'll be in CO for 3-4 weeks so it will be late July or some time in August.

    A group ride sounds like a great time. Living in Athens almost anything we do is 2 hours away. Riding for 2 hours for great BBQ is not a problem. We are looking forward to it. Thanks.

    There are several here, too. Not sure that any are world class, but they do get good reviews. There are at least four in Battle Creek. Maybe you need to do a "research tour". And here after watching you eat all those salads, I though you lived less dangerously.

    I was at a VERY GOOD bbq place in jackson a while back, (I believe) it was at the Page Avenue exit off 127. If that's the one you're talking about, I agree. It was as good as any up north, and better than many down south.

    Dan...You must have been evesdropping on the conversation I had with Cindi last night. I was talking about buying a smoker and doing a little concession..A BBQ at our house may not be out of the question if I do get a smoker..The food at my brother in laws place was all smoked...lots of people get confused regarding bbq verus smoked even though it's regarding as a "BBQ"..Had more than one person remark that the food was undercooked because they saw pink in the meat close to the bone. This could be fun...

    Yes, I was listening in ... But seriously, let's keep in touch about good BBQ, whether it's smoked or just cooked and covered with BBQ sauce. We need to keep it within a day ride, but that should leave a lot of places to choose from.

    If you are going to meet the Ohio group I'll have to find the Ohio football and pass it off to one of you in Durango. Problem is it is in a box that looks just like a whole bunch of other boxes.

    The Ohio group, or Indiana, Wisconsin, or Illinois would all be welcome! Don't look too hard for that Ohio football. I don't know anyone who wants it.


    p.s. Ann, you'd be welcome, too. Isn't it time to schedule a return to Michigan?
