Massachusetts Barbecue Joint is Ranked Among Best BBQ in the U.S.

Perhaps you might not think Massachusetts would have the most elite selection of barbecue restaurants and eateries available. Not because they aren't here, and they definitely are, but because you don't necessarily think of barbecue when you think of the Bay State, or any of the New England states for that matter. But sure enough, Massachusetts is home to one of the absolute best barbecue joints throughout the country.

The ever-so-popular food publication 'Love Food' recently released its latest picks for the best barbecue restaurant in each state, and not only that, but they were also ranked. Basically, it's putting each state's best barbecue spot with the rest throughout the U.S. So, what's Massachusetts spot that is ranked among the best in the country?
