But They Got You To Click

By now, you have undoubtedly seen the hubbub over some website of which you've never heard doing a ranking of the top cities for barbecue that didn't rank places like Texas, South Carolina, Memphis, and Kansas City highly but put Newark ninth (great Portuguese food, but that isn't that kind of barbecue, really) and had Irvine, CA in the top 20. Irvine? I mean, I live near Irvine and I don't even know any barbecue joints there. Anyway, two thoughts: One, who cares what a random website says? And two, the list is based on TripAdvisor reviews. Who bases anything on that? Even TripAdvisor wants you not to do that. Really, let's just agree that there's great barbecue in a lot of cities and ranking them is pointless. (USA Today)
