After visiting 25 barbecue destinations, has Gonzo had his fill or will these two local favorites be able to keep him eating down to the bone?

A few hungry AnnArbor.com staff members will be following along on this hickory-smoked adventure and will live tweet each finger-licking-good bite, so we want to know: What questions do you have for the owners and pit-masters behind these two popular destinations? Comment below and we'll ask them while on site.

Also, at each location we will be holding a live barbecue quiz on Twitter where you could win a gift card to one of the two locations. So be sure to follow the event here live starting at 6:30 p.m. or on Twitter via the hashtag: #mibbq
