Driving from the southern tip of Interstate 35 in Laredo to the northern end in Duluth, Minnesota, you'll be well-fed with the smoked meat stops in Texas. Aside from joints in Kansas City, there aren't many other worthy spots that come to mind north of Red River. But after spending a few days in Minnesota, I can say with confidence that KC is only halfway to some of the best barbecue available on this journey. About the only barbecue history or reputation Minnesota has is thanks to the Famous Dave's chain, which is headquartered in Minnetonka.
