Folks might argue till the cows come home about what state has the best barbecue, but TripAdvisor has processed the data and weighs in with: Tennessee.

The world's largest travel-oriented website used a relatively objective, broad method to measure reviews from its readers and determine that Tennessee takes the top spot, with Texas coming in at No. 2.

According to the site in a post made this week, the measure was "based on the quality of ratings and volume of reviews for barbecue restaurants, giving more weight to reviews written in the past year, as well as the total number and percentage of restaurants in each state that are classified as barbecue, giving more weight to those with a minimum of 100 reviews."
