In honor of places that we know we could eat without being interupted by Kerry... Please post your favorite BBQ joint, where it is and what your favorite thing is at that place...

Your opinion is carefully noted. Thanks.

How would you be able to read your own posts?

Ok HC - I need better directions than that......lol....... can ya give me a road for "north of Richmond"?

If anyone is ever near Wichita Falls, try Stanley's - incredible food - a Beanie Burger is ledgendary..........hamburger patty, refried beans, crushed fritos, covered with melted cheese,onions and jalapenos......... so messy you want to be hosed off after you eat it...........

Ah, I shot 2 seconds after you did. I recind my snide comment.

And the proper response from newbies, especially to their elders and betters, is "I am sorry."

Dr. Hogly Wogly's Tyler Texas Barbeque in LA. Beef ribs, spare ribs, hot links, brisket, sliced pork - da joint is Heaven!

I second that enthusiastically. Brisket that melts in your mouth, and delicious side orders (except for the potato salad, which is merely ordinary) and bread as well.

I also recommend Dyer's, which has restaurants in Amarillo and Pampa, TX.

Chris and Pitts in North Long Beach, CA on Artesia Blvd near Bellflower Blvd. They also bottle their sauce in the local grocery stores.

If you haven't tried New Zion Missionary Baptist Church, it's worth a trip to Huntsville. They're closed on Mondays.

I can get a bottle of wine -- what time should I be there?

I can use a few Frequent Flyer miles and be there in a jif!

(and I have to admit I am the worst BBQer -- I don't burn 'em but they just come out --- cooked. Not great, not bad, but never as good as the smell from everyone else's)

[asgardshill]

I rescind anything bad I've ever thought about you as well (which wasn't much come to think of it). Happy Saturday!

The winner and all-time champion is Big Bob Gibson's in Decatur Alabama.

DINGDINGDING!! WE HAVE A WINNER!!

The original Big Bob Gibson's. 2000 RESTAURANT OF THE YEAR (Nat'l BBQ Association), 1998 "Best Sauce on the Planet" (American Royal International)...numerous others. Most decorated BBQ restaurant in the nation!! See more:

My Grandmother (God rest her soul) worked at Gibson's fro 40 years. used to come in to work at 3am every day to hand make the pies from scratch. It don't get no better, period.

Gary's BBQ in China Grove (NC, naturally) is MIGHTY good. Whispering Pines in Albemarle is another place to try. Lexington has good BBQ, but I don't care for the sauce there.

No, look at the other comment.

Your comment should stand until the child admits his/her transgression.

This is what WE do here.

And, no, you aren't going to be the one that changes us.

Sprayberrys in Newnan Ga. Lewis Gazzard's home town.

Actually, Lewis is from Moreland, and IMO...Sprayberrys is way overated and overpriced.

Harold's in Atlanta and Hudson's in Douglasville.

LOL!

Gary's BBQ in China Grove

is that the one that the Doobie Brothers sang about back when they were good (with Johnston at the lead?)

North Carolina = Jessie Helms + Billy Graham + Richard Petty/Dale Earnhardt + Michael Jordan + + + + on and on. . .

Texass = Lyndon Johnson + Ann Richards + Dan Rather. . .I'm puking. . I can't go on. . .give me some North Carolina BBQ!!!

[RightOnTheLeftCoast]

Iron Works in Austin. I have no idea about their politics, but their brisket and sausages sure are tasty.

I have got to try that Mesquite Barbeque place before I move. It's supposed to be on Siene Road.
One of our favorites was Spring Creek. It's either a chain or they have a couple of locations.
