Is there a penance I can do for saying the best barbecue I've had was in St. Louis? I did have some great barbecue in Nashville a few years ago...
13 years ago Spokane was a dump, but they have really turned themselves around. Downtown is very nice and the river walk is wonderful, especially the bridge overlooking the falls. There are some great small hotels there, so I wouldn't ever recommend a chain hotel. I loved the Hotel Lusso and there is another whose name escapes me on the opposite corner.
I think in penance for saying the best barbecue was in St Louis you should do a MR to all the barbecue hot spots. So, you are sentenced to fly to Memphis, Kansas City, Columbia, SC, Dallas, and.... I think I need some others to chime in. Anyway, you must go to all of them and eat barbecue in each city at a famous location.
