Go to Texas, go to Louisiana, go to Kansas City — and you’ll find three very different ideas of what constitutes BBQ.

Santa Maria, Calif. has a radically different concept of BBQ. Grilled tri-tip with garlic salt and pepper--no BBQ sauce--along with pinto beans and salsa on the side.

I haven’t encountered too many regional variants of barbecue that aren’t good, if quality ingredients are used and it’s well-prepared. The only one I actively dislike is South Carolina style with a mustard-based sauce. The pork is cooked until it’s practically mush.

I spent a long weekend in Santa Maria in 2007. I wish I had heard about that place. It sounds like Mexican or Tex-Mex BBQ.

That sounds like good eats to me.

Really!!!....up here in Maine we celebrate our “native” spring BBQ with smelts and fiddle heads (do your own DD)

We're so sick of beans and rotten spiced tomatoes come spring, its a real treat...The best of both worlds for us...../s
