Here! Here!
There are only three places in the universe where true BBQ is available: Chicago, Kansas City, Texas.
Although there are many very fine imitations and wannabes, they are not the real-deal.
BBQ is both a noun and verb. The noun always refers to beef.
My trip to Texas was over too soon to try your BBQ, but I'll remember to ping you if I head to San Antonio again.
FReegards.
I'm getting hungry for BBQ again, and still have a fridge full of leftovers. LOL.
It's astounding the ignorance of this post. North Carolina existed long before any of those places and as such righfully defines what is barbecue in the United States. Barbecue is pork. The best is here.
The question was recently asked about the difference between a Yankee and a damn Yankee. A damn yankee is cluless and arrogant about it!
Never ate bbq in Chicago, but I have eaten at several places in KC and was NOT impressed. KC Masterpiece was too dried out and they actually had liquid smoke it their sauce, yeeech. The bbq place owned by the old black guy on the south side, can't think of the name, was much better, but not what I expected. I went to the KCM in St. Louis thinking maybe it would be better than the one in KC, but it was the same story.
But now TX is another matter. Some of the best PORK bbq I ever had was in a little joint on US 290 somewhere between Houston and Brenham. No sauce, just pork shoulder done juuuust right on oak coals. I ate there about 40 years ago and have never been able to get back there since. It's probably gone by now, all I remember about it is the bbq and the jackalope heads on the wall. Brisket done TX style is mighty fine eatin, but I don't consider it bbq.
