BBQ- who's got the best? Pick your favorite region...

North Carolina?

Texas?

Memphis/Tennessee?

Kansas city/Kansas?

tell us where you live, what you chose, and why you feel it's the best....

Kansas City and Texas both have some excellent BBQ sauce but Memphis has the best ribs. I like my pork pulled.

My girlfriend's neighbor makes wonderful BBQ ribs with home made sauce. And her potato salad is world-class. Besides, I take care of my father and my cat and birds, so travelling far is not an option.

Wherever you hold it, I would appreciate a care package, FedEx'd to my home, by the next day. Packed in dry ice, of course.

Don't forget the cole slaw.

So, I vote for Brooklyn.

How about all of the above? I also like the Portugese Bar-B-Que at Pic Nic Bar & Restaurant
224 Grant Ave Harrison, NJ 07029-2759 with their homemade sangria! No conection.

Well.. guess since I live and cook here.. I guess I'm gonna have to say the DC region.. :

I watched a program last night on the Food network. the winner was Memphis.

I voted for Texas because I live here, but I've had excellent bbq in Kansas City too. Never had any in TN or NC. Now for the worst bbq, California, easy. They chop off the tough end of brisket, cook it in 45 minutes and call it tri-tip. Cretins, I tell ya.

Kinda like choosing your favorite child- oyu say you don't have one, but we all know there's oe you love just a little more...

I know this is a tough one to call- I personally like all four, and don't really have a favorite.

BBQ is good, from all four of those regions. Lately, I've preferred North Carolina style for some reason, but next month, it'll probably be something different.

 

[KeninDC]

The Rendezvous in Memphis has the best.

 

[pioneervato]

In my neck of the woods it's Joe's in Gilbert, AZ. :yes:

People from North Carolina know that it's bad medicine to talk BBQ in mixed company.

What I can't figure out is why South Carolina doesn't have any particular claim in this game. What are they making?

The best Kansas City-style BBQ? Kansas City/Kansas
The best Texas-style BBQ? Texas
The best Memphis/Tennessee-style BBQ? Memphis/Tennessee
The best North Carolina-style BBQ? North Carolina

I've never had good BBQ in any of these styles that I didn't like.

My favorite? Central Texas BBQ, with its wonderful confluence of German, Spanish, Cowboy, and Creole traditions.

P.S. However, in the eyes of God it's OK to pull pork, but cole slaw is still a side-dish.

My family and I do summer vacations on the Outer Banks in North Carolina.
This summer we rented a house....50 yards from a BBQ restaurant.
Ate ribs and pulled pork 'till it came out my.......
Great tasting food........and I didn't gain a pound!!







I also lie a lot.
