Been a member of the forum for some time now and love the comraderie and ideas that everyone has. Been smoking for about ten years now and consider myself to be pretty good at it. What I would like to know is this.... I recently quit my construction job to pusue my lifelong goal of feeding people good smoke/barbecue.I enrolled at the San Diego Culinary institute to learn the ropes of being an excellent Chef. When my course ends in August I have to do an internship at a restaurant of my choosing. Trouble is, there are no resteraunts like that out in San Diego, California. I am open to going any where in the country to learn from some of the masters but I need some help from the other members here. What are some of the best smokehouses/barbecue joints in the United States? I know that opinions about the best are going to range greatly but I just need a list so I can start contacting some of the chefs. And if any of the members knows some of the chefs personally and could put me in contact with them, that would be even better. Thank you members for all your help...chris
