Since Colorado is famous for its craft beer, green chile, and fresh produce via the Western Slope, one may assume that we cannot also make a mean slab of saucy meat, right? Wrong! In fact, if you thought you had to travel to Kansas City, Memphis, or even Texas for some satisfying BBQ, you have obviously never visited this small Colorado town:

Located in Gunnison County lies the small Statutory Town town of Marble, which is home to both nearly 150 residents and a rich history.

Incorporated in 1899, Marble is home to the old Yule Marble quarry (which produced marble used in both the Tomb of the Unknowns and Lincoln Memorial), as well as seven other sites listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

While Marble is worth visiting for its historic buildings, stunning scenery, and nearby attractions (like the exquisite Crystal Mill, pictured), it is also home to one of the best BBQ joints in the state...

...which is that of the mouthwatering Slow Groovin' BBQ.
