North: Big Bob Gibson vs. New Market BBQ

BIRMINGHAM, AL (WBRC)- Got an opinion on who makes the best barbecue in Bama? You can vote for your favorite barbecue joint in the state out of 32 restaurants listed in the first-ever Alabama Barbecue Bracket.

The competition is sponsored by Alabama Tourism and follows a March-Madness style bracket that narrows down the options from four regionally-based divisions.

The match-ups are based on a social media poll that Alabama Tourism conducted last year that garnered more than 180 responses. The top eight submissions for each region, North, South, Central and Gulf Coast, ended up in the Alabama BBQ Bracket.

Some of the Central Alabama contestants include Birmingham's Full Moon, Golden Rule, and Moe's Original restaurants, Tuscaloosa's Jim 'N Nick's and Dreamland, Northport's Archibalds and Saw's BBQ in Homewood.
