Hi Rokfather, welcome from NE FL. My mother lives in Columbus, and I'm there several times a year. We will have to grab a Scrambled Dog together from Dinglewood one day.

Rokfather My mom has ordered from the Smoky Pig for us, and I've been to Country's BBQ. My favorite place as a youngster is long gone. Whenever I go see her I always make a pilgrimage to Dinglewood. Which BBQ joints in Columbus do you recommend?

hoovarmin Pepper's BBQ is the best in town. They have 3 house sauces, one ketchup based and 2 mustard based sauces in medium and hot. I love the mustard-based sauces and had never had anything like it until I moved here (I grew up with the cloyingly sweet ketchup BBQ sauces and never liked them).

Smokey Pig would be my second pick but they only have 1 house sauce, which is not bad, but more middle of the road than the options you get at Peppers. County's is the most popular, but only okay.

Good to know. I never liked Country's. Not sure why they stayed open so long serving such mediocre food. They were around when I was in early elementary school.

Hey Josh, welcome from the northern Virginia suburbs of the nation's capital. What a great intro! I get ribbed around here (see what I did there?) for using "too many" temp probes sometimes, but I say, More Data Are Needed Have fun!
