The food: where these dishes come from

Mission BBQ is known for brisket and pulled pork. The stories are about the dishes, not the brand, and live on PlateTales.

This is a Mission BBQ location. How Mission BBQ's 31 Florida stores compare with their counties.

A routine inspection is one visit on one day. Inspectors in different counties record violations differently, so compare a count with its county average, not with a restaurant in another county.
