Nashville restaurant on Southern Living's list of best new BBQ

What they're saying: The magazine describes the restaurant in The Nations as "a Texas-style haven featuring beef ribs, slow-smoked brisket, and jalapeño sausage."

Hot tip: "It's pretty good brisket," Southern Living writes, "but even better is the thick-sliced pastrami, which pulls into magenta-hued strands."

Zoom out: Tennessee made two other appearances on the list.

• A revived version of Jacks Creek BBQ in West Tennessee, from B.E. Scott's owner Zach Parker, got a shoutout.
• So did Blake's at Southern Milling in Martin.
