We're at it again. Another chance for you to decide who gets the prize for the best BBQ in the Garden State.

I made ribs the other night, yes, they were fantastic, recipe HERE. The conversation turned to great places around NJ to get good pork ribs and brisket.

I always bring up my friends Maurice and Reggie, who opened and owned 1911 Smokehouse in Trenton, now also open in Willingboro and in Terminal A at Newark Airport.

1911 is one of the best for sure.

We heard from listeners throughout the show and have compiled a list of the best.

Let's get voting. Instead of a click poll, if you want to vote for your fave, send a note through the NJ 101.5 app chat to Producer Kristen (it's free).
