San Jose's ranking as the No. 3 barbecue city in the United States last year was met with a mixture of civic pride and bafflement, but this year it has fallen to 22nd place out of the top 50 metros.
Despite the drop in ranking, San Jose still has a respectable number of BBQ joints per 10,000 people, but the cost of buying meat increased compared to last year, and the number of Google searches about barbecue decreased. Austin claimed the top spot this year, followed by Memphis.
San Jose remains the top city for barbecue in California, with Sacramento, Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, and Riverside ranking lower. Some popular BBQ options in San Jose include Sam's BBQ, Sauced at Santana Row, Jon-Jon's, South Winchester BBQ, and Mesquite and Oak.
