Happened by the purported #1 BBQ joint in Arizona. The head pitmaster had me follow him to the smokers and gave me an impromptu tour. He recommended the beef rib and brisket. The meltiest brisket I’ve ever had and the BBQ sauce was delicious. The ranking is accurate IMO.

Like me, you may have glimpsed some strange monuments off the 15 on the way to Vegas. Last week, I finally decided to stop by. It's called Liberty Sculpture Park and has a distinct political viewpoint. Think: punk rock Shen Yun. It's open 8a-8p, free to visit, and you can drive up to the exhibits.
