There's something to this... Good BBQ tends to be very time- and labor-intensive. Once a place gets popular enough, something has to give - city joints can't so easily just build another pit and drop a few more picnic tables out in the parking lot. So whether the price goes up or standards slide, some of the fans will go looking for a new source. Do this a few times and you maybe start to get wise to the idea that raving about your new hangout isn't very smart if you want to continue going there on a regular basis.
