BOSTON, MA — If you're craving pulled pork or brisket, you can get your fix in Massachusetts. The best barbecue restaurant in the state serves those slow-cooked meats and more is in Boston, according to one website's rankings.

Sweet Cheeks Q got the nod from 24/7 Tempo as the best in the Bay State. Here's what they had to say about the Boston establishment:

"Boston chef-restaurateur Tiffani Faison, known for such places as Fool’s Errand and Bubble Bath, fired up the smoker at Sweet Cheeks in 2011. Meats include pulled heritage pork, pork belly, prime brisket, both pork and beef ribs, and cheddar-jalapeño hot links, but there’s also buttermilk fried chicken, mac n’ cheese made with pimento cheese, and highly acclaimed buttermilk biscuits with honey butter."

24/7 Tempo ranked the best barbecue joint in every state by consulting "reviews and ratings published by scores of city, regional, and state websites, extrapolating a shortlist of the most acclaimed establishments, and then using editorial discretion to make our final choices."
