mrktwn Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 That Texas thread kind of brought this to mind, so whats the best BBQ? In my opinion it doesnt get any better than Carolina style. Total sucker for the Vinegar/ Mustard based sauces. Also the sides that come with that style, too. Hush puppies, some of the best Cole Slaw I've ever had, Hash(!). So whats the best BBQ?
Rocky4 Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 Hey Axe, your services are needed in the Les Paul forum. See ding on Les Paul
heymisterk Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 Love good BBQ; unfortunately, my doctor is less-than happy with my love.
Californiaman Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 Santa Maria Tri-tip and Chicken BBQ is best in the west. Cooked over an open pit of Red Oak. Sometimes we use a marinade, sometimes a dry rub. No matter what though, it has to be cooked slowly with lots of smoke. Our sides are basically French Bread, halved Artichokes, Bacon Wrapped Asparagus, Linguica and sometimes Sweet Breads. Then we wash it down with some good wine. Guess what I'm doing this weekend?
djroge1 Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 there is a BBQ pit in Huntsville, Alabama called Gibson's BBQ - absolutly the best shredded pork (pulled pork).

mrktwn Posted April 17, 2009 Author Posted April 17, 2009 http://www.barbecuefestival.com/ Uh huh. Lexington #1, one of the best places in the area...
grampa Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 Anyone who doesn't loke BBQ has to be watched very carefully.
Cruznolfart Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 LOVE the BBQ! I've had several different iterations of the art but my all-time favorite is what you get when you go out for BBQ in Carolina. I haven't been back there in over 35 years but I still remember good ol' Blackwelder's in Davie County had the best damn pulled pork sammiches I ever ate. Washed down with a couple bottles of Cheerwine, nothing any better. I still send for a case of Cheerwine now and then so we can slow cook a pork shoulder and have a good ol' Carolina style BBQ pic-a-nic. I enjoy BBQing boneless country-style poke ribs, too. MOF, we just got some from the butcher shop yesterday and gonna have 'em this afternoon. :)
Homz Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 God I miss Texas BBQ. I've had it SC and NC, but Texas is the best. The SC stuff that a runny vinegar sauce. Hated it.

[/quote']I dig Texas style for sure, but man that Carolina style is the best! The vinegary bite tastes so good with slow cooked pig meat. Its cool how Texas style is all beef, no pork.
mrktwn Posted April 17, 2009 Author Posted April 17, 2009 ...Alright, I'm 'friggin hungry. Time for lunch! 'Gotta go to work to....
Californiaman Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 Wow! I had not idea you're a yuppie? Washing down BBQ with wine - what's wrong with you boy? Really? Come on now. I live in one of the world's finest wine growing regions. We're famous for our Pinot Noir' date=' Syrah, and Chardonnay. Since I run the pit, it's beer then wine. And I am the farthest thing from a Yuppie. I'm a simple family man and connoisseur of good taste. Don't be so quick to judge. The wines I drink are some of the world's best because they grow so well here in the Santa Maria Valley and surrounding areas. You should try some. Cheers. Passion for the Pale Cambria Wines

So whats the best BBQ?[/quote'] I'm just the opposite. Personally I can't stand the vinegar/mustard sauces and I much prefer BBQ beef to BBQ pork. For me it's a neck-n-neck tossup between Texas and Kansas City Style. KC Masterpiece Original Sauce is absolutely wonderful. I used to joke that if I lived long enough to retire I was gonna move to the Texas gulf coast & eat myself to death. Between the BBQ, seafood, and Mexican Food (yes, I AM one of those 'taco-eaters') it probably wouldn't take long.
retrosurfer1959 Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 Joe's BBQ Gilbert AZ - Hand's down best beef brisket and pulled pork with either standard or spicy sauce if your brave. Everything made by hand even the rootbeer and cream soda. Side are good old fashioned P salad, Cole Slaw, Beans with Pork, Corn, Cheesy Potatoes or if your serious about otatoes you can get a salt crusted baked potato that looks like a football where somebody sanded the logo off biggest damn spuds ive ever seen. This isn't a empty claim either they have a wall of awards and the Food channel show Diner's and Dives or whatever it was called was there and agreed...
Homz Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 I just had BBQ. We have an awesome little mom and pop spot here that serves BBQ they make out back. It rocked. I had the brisket. My son (half school day) had the pulled pork. Daughter had rib tips. Mom had pulled pork. Dad had hand breaded tenderloin. Awesome.
Steven Tari Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 I'm one of the old boys From Slaughter to platter. Save the head for breakfast half way thru cooken. Hog brains and eggs, Fresh cracklen,and Tounge. Got to pickel the feet, eyes. Got plastered more then once at a three day weekend party. So to the other cookers what was your favorite wood mix for cooken? I like a good Oak coal, On that I use a slight damp hickory. I get a good smoke thru the whole Bar-B-Que. I've got to build another Drum to cook in. The last one we added a rotisserie from an old washer motor.
RichCI Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 I love all kinds of BBQ. My father makes a helluva southern style, vinegar-based pulled pork.
dem00n Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 I love BBQ...my dad likes to get a whole lamp and cook it in this big BBQ thingy.
Homz Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 I love BBQ...my dad likes to get a whole lamp and cook it in this big BBQ thingy. lamps are hard to clean, if you slow cook em they soften up nicely. The wires are a bit stingy though.
Californiaman Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 Yeah, getting past the bulb though is a completely different matter.
