Stanley's Famous Pit Bar-B-Q (Tyler, TX), The Church of Holy Smoke (Huntsville, TX), The Salt Lick (Driftwood, TX), and Smitty's Market (Lockhart, TX) are numbers 7-10, respectively, on Maxim magazine's top 10 picks for BBQ, as featured in the latest edition (July 2010, p. 64). (I won't tell you what all else is featured.) FWIW, #4 on the list is the BBQ joint I've eaten at more than any other: Leo & Susie's Famous Green Top Bar-B-Que, about 20 minutes from my hometown of Jasper, Alabama. But I digress.
The list only includes 2 pics, one of which is of a sandwich at Stanley's, which I'm happy to say is an affiliate of The Q Card (Present The Q Card at Stanley's, and you get a 2nd of anything you buy half off!). The snippet for Stanley's describes the sandwich: "Stanley's Famous Pit Bar-B-Q boasts a sandwich called the Brother-in-Law: a butterflied hot link sausage, a slice of cheese, a vinegar-and-molasses sauce, and chopped brisket. Perfect."

The joints listed in Maxim are not listed in order from Best to Worst, rather as points on a map to take a drive. The drive ends at Smitty's, long considered the "birth place" of BBQ. Super cool! So the numbers next to the joint are only given as a reference on the map...
Ahh, yes. Should've noticed that from the cartoon map next to the writeup...or inferred it from the fact that the Texas places were listed last!
