In fairness to them… BBQ comes from Virginia. But we didn't really develop our own unique style, so it sort of faded out somewhat. We have BBQ here and it's usually NC or some other style (I think generally sort-of-TX more than anything, but NOT quite TX). We have some good places and some meh places.
It sucks that we don't have VA style BBQ, but............ eh. I'll take good food whatever the source. :)
