"The sheer perfection of Lexington Betty’s deserves a moment of silence—probably because your mouth will be full of smoked meat. One particularly perfect dish here is the rib tips—they’re meaty and tender, with a deep pink smoke ring and a ton of flavor. But we also love the turkey leg and the pulled pork—and it’s essential that whatever you order gets paired with the candied yams, mac and cheese, and greens." - adrian kane, john ringor
