Louisiana may not be known for BBQ, but we have countless restaurants that are serving up some of the best BBQ you’ve ever tasted. Even though BBQ tends to be associated with the summer months, there’s no rule that you can’t enjoy a hearty slab of ribs in the fall. When it comes to delicious BBQ, there’s one restaurant that’s changing the game, and that’s Bodacious Bar-B-Q. Their BBQ baked potato, or botato, will rock your world. Hungry? Let’s check it out.

As you would expect, this place specializes in some of the best BBQ in northern Louisiana.

Don’t pass up the sides, either. They’re equally delicious.
