i travel a lot and no matter what city i find myself in, i make sure to hit up a bbq spot at least once during the trip. each and every one of those visits are compared to my bbq gold standard, fat jack's in monona.
i'm actually leaving on sunday for yet another trip and i can say, without fail, on bbq night, one of my travel buddies at the table will ask, "so... how'd it compare to fat jack's?"
chances are my response will be something like, "it's good... but it ain't fat jack's!"
