It's all good but keep your eyes on that sausage in the upper left corner

While Philadelphia and its surrounding suburban areas aren't exactly known for barbecue, it's not like places that serve good 'cue are hard to find. No one is ever going to mistake any style of slow-smoked meats and homespun sides as uniquely Philadelphian. The folks here are surly, insular, and prideful, but they're certainly not self-important like the magazine editors who proclaimed "Brooklyn BBQ" to be a thing instead of just gentrified Memphis, Texas, or Kansas City styles served in smaller portions for jacked-up prices. Barbecue isn't as plentiful here as it would be in those locales, and the width and breadth of BBQ joints pale in comparison to how many different places you can get a good cheesesteak. That being said, whether it be Sweet Lucy's or Fette Sau, you can find good 'cue in the area.
