With Memorial Day just around the corner, barbecue is on the minds of many. So after a successful run with barbecue, we decided to pit the best places in our Upstate Patch sites against one another.
Pulled or chopped pork, it's the other white meat in South Carolina. And who does it best in the Upstate? In our last Readers' Choice contest on barbecue, we asked readers in Easley, Mauldin and Taylors to tell us who had the "best barbecue in town." Now we are taking those three winners and pitting them against one another. The three places have been chosen: So which joint's barbecue reigns supreme? That is up to you. Vote for your favorite place in the poll below, and don't forget to tell us why in the comments section. To ensure more accurate results, we have instituted a new way to determine winners, by using a voting system that awards points not only for straight poll votes, but also extra points for comments, and reviews and ratings…

When it comes to pulled pork and all the trimmings, Easley residents said this is the place to be.
And the winner is... Easley Smokehouse is the barbecue champion in this week's Readers' Choice contest. On Monday, Easley Patch asked readers to tell us where to find the best barbecue in town. Easley Smokehouse took 81 percent of the vote, garnering 57 votes in the contest. The restaurant also had three customers to post reviews of the eatery on Patch stating what makes it the home of the best B-B-Q in all of Easley. Reader Tyler Waddell is a big fan of the restaurant. "Man those ribs were good enough to make you want to smack someone," he wrote in a review of the restaurant. And while, Patch doesn't condone violence, we do appreciate people telling it like it is!
