No one BBQ is greater than another.
All (collectively) BBQ is great.

You haven't had barbecue until you've had it Tokyo style: the sauce is equal parts ketchup and soy sauce. Yum!

I swear I am not making that up.

NC barbeque is disgusting. They shred it then it sits around getting soggy. It reminds me of the skit on SNL where the waiters pre chew your food. I guess it should be called “pre-chewed” barbeque! Yuck.

A good sauce can complement any BBQ, but it’s the Rub that is the heart and soul.

One exception is the North Carolina Vinegar Sauce. Hideous and unpalatable not fit for pigs.

Brisket is hard to beat. There are some real good rib joints in Arkansas though. Gotta agree that NC BBQ is just a soggy overrated mess though.

They don’t grow BBQ in Texas. It’s that smoked beef stuff.

BBQs are animals. It is not, a way of cooking meat.

They are pink, porcine looking creatures that walk about on two legs with a top hat, a walking stick and sometimes a Tux.

While smiling a lot, they can be rather fierce, specially if they have been eating lots of peppers, vinegar, mustard, or other hot spices.

If you should fear confrontation from a BBQ, one should have a fork and plate ready, with a loaf of bread, Brunswick Stew or rice hash, and a large Sweetened Iced Tea. Armed thus, the BBQ will vanish pretty quick.

Daniel made a fatal flaw in his second retort: real NC BBQ is pulled and not chopped. Chopped pork is just that — cut up pieces of pork and not bbq. BBQ done right should fall apart once removed from the wood smoker without a knife anywhere in sight.

Let the BBQ debate continue..... I’m think I will get a nice shoulder for the weekend!

Well, I can testify that finest BBQ of all is pecan smoked brisket of the Texas persuasion.

As far NC BBQ goes, I would question the practice of slathering one’s meat with “Summers Breeze”. However
if that is what you need to make your BBQ palatable then so be it. Just don’t call it BBQ. ‘Cause it ain’t.

Texas Monthly is most often seen in the lobby of the Doctor's office. No sane Texan would subscribe to that liberal rag. Their roots are not in Texas, unless UT represents the culture of the state, which it doesn't. Reading Texas Monthly is almost like reading Slate.

Bookmarking for later because I love all varieties of BBQ. I do favor the west NC white BBQ, especially if it is made with horseradish.

Also Big Bob Gibson's is a favorite.

Later.

Texas has two flavors of BBQ. In the east you have a good sweet BBQ that is moist and mouth-watering. In the west and central you have that dry rub crap that is usually half burned. The sauce is too vinegary compared to the sweet eastern variety.

I haven’t found good BBQ since I moved here a few years back. Smoky Mo’s chain in Austin is about as good as I have found. Yes, I have been to Lockhart, Burnet, Llano, and all points on my quest.

NC has to use soft and mushy pork for barbecue because North Carolinians have no teeth.

"WE SPECIALIZE in BBQ, Fried Chicken,Pork Chops, Seafood, Fried Seafood, Steaks, Pizza, Salads, Doughnuts"...

“Texans barbecue something called beef on some kind of weed called mesquite”, is my motto.

I lived in Texas (Houston) for years, and was never able to get something that even approximated the slice of heaven that you can obtain only from Archibald’s in Northport, Alabama.

Open pit is the only way to go as far as cooking your pork, or in a pinch, chicken.

Oh, and ROLL TIDE

Yes, it's a magazine whose following appears to be the lefty elitists who came to TX to escape the messes they created elsewhere. For those who haven't seen it, it's a cross between those glossy shopping and eating guides you find in hotels and People magazine.

They recently had a best and worst legislators list wherein they named the execrable RINO Joe Straus as among the best along with the malignant Wendy Davis, abortion extremist extraordinaire.
