Apparently, this is the world's greatest pho
The British newspaper The Observer has a list billed as The 50 Best Foods in the World and Where to Eat Them. The list has very specific foods and where the best is, like oysters from Northern Ireland and olive oil from Turkey by way of a London shopkeeper, as well as broad cuisines like the best place Algerian food (shockingly, in Algiers!). The list skews slightly toward British tastes (I am apparently too narrow minded for steak and kidney pie), but there are also items that seem almost too mundane (the world’s greatest tomato juice!).
In looking at the list, one thing, as an American, that I felt was missing, was the world’s best fried chicken. In looking at the list, do you see any foods that you wish were on it?

Coming soon to an adorable, yuppie neighborhood near … me: a new BBQ restaurant!
Pork Barrel BBQ, an award-winning sauce and dry rub company, was born right here in the Beltway, but their founders Heath and Brett were raised in my home state of Missouri. In his day job capacity, Heath and I worked together very briefly on getting a contribution from a Missouri politician I respect in the magazine I managed about a year and a half ago. (Sorry folks. Can’t name names. No politics on the food blog!)
Come to think of it, Frank works with the brother-in-law of the other half of this BBQing duo, too. It’s a small world after all!
Stay tuned for updates as we receive them about the restaurant’s opening.
