The 10 Best Cities for Meat Lovers in America

Burger joints per capita?

Hmm...A little surprising no Texas cities made the cut, with all the BBQ & Steak houses....

Louisiana has the highest poverty rate in the Nation when the last 3 years are averaged.
Mississippi beat Louisiana in 2012 with Arkansas running close behind them.
Sounds as if those food stamps or whatever they get these days is spent on Meat, Beer and Cigarettes.

Yup, I think their formula is pretty far off

Meat can be one of the most filling, healthiest, and /cheapest/ purchases.

The whole reason "barbecuing" exists is because it was the only way to make some cuts palatable. "Pork steaks" back in Missouri were the poverty-stricken barbecue of choice, because they were one of the absolute cheapest pieces of meat you could get. Still a favorite of mine, but pork steaks have climbed up a good bit to be competitive with other cuts, per pound.

Calorie for calorie, pound for pound, meat and apples/oranges/bananas gets you pretty damn far on a budget.

I'm really surprised by this 'ranking' though - it really goes against most of what I've experienced in my time traveling everywhere west of the MS River, and some northeast. /shrug

Myth.

Myth.

Maybe. But there are some strong correlations between heart disease and meat consumption.

Forks over Knives is a good documentary if you have the time and haven't seen it.

The BBQ here is horrible!!!

There are some great burger places and steak restaurants. Uncle E's and Doe's Eat Place respectively come to mind.

I agree! The only decent place in BTR is Jay's on government.

This summer when we went to pick up my husband's 2+2 we stopped in Missouri at The 117th Street BBQ. I was in heaven!

Meh, CouYon's in Port Allen ain't bad. Get the moist brisket. Don't get the beans.
