Most pork-aholics already know a thing or two about the famed pit-smoked and roasted grub at Arthur Bryant's. If you don’t, here’s the lowdown: Open since 1930, this iconic restaurant has caught the eye of celebs, presidents and regular folks with its stupidly delicious beef brisket, smoked to perfection for 13 hours. Line up (and there will be a line) and place your order. The food doesn’t look like much: beef brisket on two slices of Wonderbread and slathered with barbecue sauce. But once you take your first bite, you’ll wonder where Arthur Bryant’s has been all of your life.
