"When news broke that Central BBQ would open in Music City the internet nearly broke; I get why—this Memphis barbecue institution has been smoking meats since 2002 on Central Avenue and has expanded to three other locations, with Nashville set to be the brand's fifth restaurant. They're known for their famous slow-smoked barbecue, using hickory and pecan woods and the classic Memphis dry rub when prepping meats; the meat is marinated for 24 hours, and they proudly boast that there’s "no sauce in the pit." - Delia Jo Ramsey
