When it comes to barbecue, there’s no state that does it better than Tennessee. Of course, we have our rivals (we see you North Carolina!), but in the southern Tennessee town of Ooltewah right outside of Chattanooga, there’s a small, local joint that’s regaled locals with delicious meals since 1946. Couch’s Barbecue is a true southern establishment. You show up here for decadent meals with low prices and a whole lot of hospitality. If you haven’t been, it’s a Chattanooga-must.
