Yes, it's that time of the year again. My annual list of the Top 50 BBQ Joints in the South for Southern Living just posted online, and it's stirring up the usual kerfuffle on social media and quite a few interviews from newspapers and other media outlets, too.

I put in a lot of miles researching this year's list, and it resulted in a good bit of reshuffling in the top of the ranks—including a different restaurant appearing in the #1 slot. See the full rankings and more at SouthernLiving.com.
