In a recent clickbait article, Oklahoma City was named the eighth best barbecue destination in the country. Based on the places I've visited over the years, that’s respectable enough but, truth be told, Bibbs Smokehouse might be number one in my stomach.
Located just outside the barbecue badlands of Lake Thunderbird, around 10810 Alameda Dr. in Norman, sits Bibbs – a customary smokehouse – smoking meat all the live-long day. Based on exterior appearances, you would think it had been through a couple of decades of hickory wear and tear, but it's apparently been in operation for only a few months.
