#1 is probably the answer, but if he's not, relatively

speaking, a "BBQ expert", then who actually is? How many BBQ joints are there just in Nashville and the surrounding areas? If you had BBQ for lunch and dinner every day for two weeks, you're still probably only hitting a quarter of the places in that large radius, including the couple you really like within 6 miles of your house.

Let's say you and I have been to 100 different BBQ joints in our lives, give or take (I really don't know what my number would actually be), and we both like to think we know what good Q is. Put us next to somebody who has been to 1,000 (but still has 9,000 to go), and studied all of the American history behind it, and written books....does that make his opinions or rankings more or less correct or accurate than ours? Nah, because it's still completely subjective.

I haven't asked, but I very seriously doubt any of these joints have any idea who he is when he walks in and orders BBQ. He's not getting envelopes of cash under the table, and for the decade I've known him, I kinda doubt he'd take it even if offered. I mean, his real job is an architect, so it's not like he needs BBQ bribe money to make ends meet. Southern Living probably reimburses him for meals for something he does because he loves doing it.

The Nashville joint is a multi-million dollar building snack in the middle of the one of the trendiest areas. If you go there, the line consists of hipsters and bachelorette parties.

For a BBQ expert, that’s when it’s clearly time to run. Lewis Grizzard had it right. The best bbq comes from poorly lit places with red checkered tablecloths and pictures of Jesus on the wall. Nashville, while not a BBQ mecca, has a few of those places, and they’re so much better than the corporate joints it’s not funny. If you’re an expert, you should know this, and those places aren’t hard to find. God knows they could use the PR and the ensuing business more than a flashy place in the gulch that’s propped up by 5 different angel investors.

Maybe he was in town once for an architecture conference and walked over there and that’s the only place you’ve eaten. No sweat. Just leave Nashville off your list then, because you don’t know enough about what you’re talking about to imply in an article that the only place you’ve tried is the best in the city.
