The landscape has changed with leaps and bounds for sure.... When I was blogging Backdoor was chosen as our favorite on the 2015 OKC Broken Rib Tour we made. They are now the 2nd restaurant from the 3 annual tours we did that has closed.
We also struggled some years to find 16 restaurants to include on the list back then.... Bedlam BBQ, the 2014 chosen favorite, wasn't even on our list that year because I had been served some really bad ribs there a few months earlier and were added when Mr Sprigg's failed to get reopened. I don't think we would struggle with anything but the math we used to calculate the winner because some of these places are so close in quality now than what we had to choose from back in 2014-2016.
And here's a little known fact..... Travis Clark of Clark Crew BBQ was supposed to be a judge on that 2014 OKC Broken Rib Tour and had to back out at the last moment due to work scheduling conflict.
