Calvin Trillin once wrote that anytime you see a building with a picture of a pig on it, you can bet there’s good grub inside.
Yours truly has always said that barbecue is like sex: the worst we ever had was still pretty good.
Turns out both of us were wrong.
Our top barbecue joints were featured Friday morning on Channel 3 – KVBC (NBC) in Las Vegas.
The segment is notable for the first ever appearance by “Bubba” Curtas.
You can enjoy his smokin’ sartorial splendor at the 27:37 mark of the video below:
1) Big Paul’s BBQ – 3025 East Desert Inn
2) Memphis Championship Barbecue – 4379 N. Las Vegas Blvd.
3) Buzz BBQ – 9640 West Tropicana

ELV will give you this: Big Paul’s smelled right (nice and smokey) and (according to Calvin Trillin) he’s the right color (from the glimpse we caught of him).
