Burgers Etc. BBQ House (Garber review) ***
Voted best burgers by CTV viewers, according to the banner in the window, this place just begged for a fair trial.

Dix Barbecue & Brewery ****
Got a hankerin' for big, meaty, authentic Southern-style BBQ ribs? If so, they're as close as downtown Vancouver, of all places. The Dix motto is "let the sauce run down your sleeves," so prepare yourself for a memorable (and possibly messy) dining experience. (Pssst: these are almost the best ribs around!)

Memphis Blues Barbecue House **** 1/2
We've always thought Vancouver deserved a great barbecue joint. We've been getting closer and closer to that goal over the past couple of years, but our dream has not been realized until recently, when wine-biz veteran Park Heffelfinger and our old friend George Siu (who founded Not Just Desserts) got together as the result of daunting research, and trial and error to produce the ultimate Vancouver rib and pulled pork experience!

Slim'z ***
Slim'z honours Mark Winrob's Fatzo's tradition (which features cheap meat cuts, based on the BBQ style of Sonny Bryan's in Dallas), so if you liked one, you'll like the other.

Frontier Room (Seattle) review ****
Okay, I admit it: John and I are both serious barbecue fanatics. As this is our second successful visit to Seattle's Frontier Room, we thought it high time we did a proper review again (the last one was on the phone company's now-defunct regional portal).
