One comedian has reacted to Yelp’s best cities for barbecue, and he’s not having it. The funnyman, Matt Mitchell, was more than a little upset with the popular website’s selections. Watch the short but hysterical clip to hear Yelp’s list and to listen to his thoughts on their compilation.

Barbeque is one of those things that everyone loves. Even if you don’t eat meat, chances are still pretty good that you’re a barbecue lover. How else do you explain vegan barbecue made with jackfruit? I mean, I’m not eating that; probably won’t even come within 10 feet of it, if I can help it, but that strange concoction does exist for people who love the taste of barbecue but want it without meat.

Now, as most people know, barbecue is a very Southern thing. It can be cooked and prepared in a number of different ways, depending on which state you’re in, of course. People in the southern part of the United States take it very seriously and have a great deal of pride in their barbecue. So, when Yelp came out with their list of the best cities for barbecue, you knew a southerner would have some thoughts on their choices.

In a clip posted on YouTube, Matt, a southerner, responded to the list, and to say he wasn’t happy with Yelp’s choice would be an understatement.

Things get off on the wrong foot as Yelp named Nashville, Tennessee, as number 10. All he can do is let out a loud sigh. But it gets much worse when the city in the eighth spot is revealed.

“Eight: Tulsa, Oklahoma?” he said. “No, no one thinks of barbecue when they think of Oklahoma.”

However, the one that elicits the biggest reaction from him is the city at number seven: Honolulu, Hawaii. Yes, that one is a head scratcher, for sure.

“What?” Matt said. “Someone is just trying to get a free trip to Hawaii, that’s what that is.”
Matt saves his biggest gripes and complaints for last on Yelp’s list.

“So, you’re going to make a barbecue list and not include Georgia, Alabama or Mississippi,” he added. “This should be illegal.”
