You cannot go wrong with a hearty BBQ sandwich! Especially as warmer weather approaches and the thought of a nice Spring picnic is reintroduced into the thoughts of Americans living in cities that have endured the harshness of winter for far too long.
While there are a handful of restaurants scattered across Florida that serve this delicious meal, only one is known for crafting the best BBQ around. This state staple is often praised for using high quality ingredients to carefully craft the most mouthwatering BBQ in Florida. And don't even get us started on their sides!
According to a list compiled by Food & Wine, the best place to order a BBQ sandwich in Florida is Big Lee's BBQ in Ocala.
Here's what Food & Wine had to say about the best place to enjoy BBQ in the entire state:
"Rashad and Patrice Jones were running a mighty fine barbecue trailer in Ocala back in 2014, producing the sort of brisket you drive an hour for, perhaps longer, when the Food Network came calling in the form of Guy Fieri, Patron Saint of the Mom and Pop, which made Rashad and Big Lee's BBQ nationally famous. The hubbub may have died down, but the lines most certainly have not. The Joneses now have a handful of trucks making the rounds in Central Florida, like planets orbiting their humble-seeming headquarters. The offerings here are pleasingly simple, with relatively few distractions from the meat, as they are not needed."
