Two of Nashville's most popular barbecue spots, Peg Leg Porker and Edley's Bar-B-Que, both put up some big numbers when it comes to smoked meat. Pitmaster Carey Bringle's Peg Leg Porker in the Gulch is the Nashville go-to when it comes to pork ribs. And Edley's co-owner Will Newman's original location in 12 South sells out of its lunchtime-only brisket on a daily basis. So here, now, is a breakdown of both in BARBECUE BY THE NUMBERS:
