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...
Yeah, but what a dive. Was there once, (company I used to work for was based in Memphis and while on business there once, we dined there.)
It probably needs to be explained for some folks that "cabrito" is not a Spanish word for a small taxi cab.
Sounds like the episode in "The Simpsons" where Homer has hallucinations after eating chili cooked with dangerous Guatemalan peppers ("Grown by mental patients!").
Just so we are clear - they do a sauce that is basically vinegar with heat. I tried my best to like it, but my jaws kept locking up.
However the red slaw there is outstanding.
And in Albermarle, the Donut Dinette make doughnute with LARD. I swear to God, they do. Folks there don't live so long, but they do eat well!
How soon we forget.
Your house, if you'll take a slab of country style ribs,
place them in a big old enamel cooker, put a little bit of
water in the pan, then pour a whole lot of your favorite
barbecue sauce all over them. Stick the pan in your oven that is set on 350 degrees. Leave them in the oven and let them cook slow until they are done and you'll know when
that is.
The name of the place is Texas Brisket....I had lunch there Monday.....Wow...I had forgotten about the Dairy Queen.....
When I want BBQ....I usually do Pappas.....quick and painless!!!
I think we have it about evry six months. I love the BBQ threads. Someone needs to ping Carlo.
I'll give it a go, but may have his name wrong.
Can't go wrong but won't be like actually being there.
That is characteristic #1 of the great BBQ joints
bump
Been to Schuyler's many times, OUTSTANDING BBQ
Damn You! Made me spit adult beverage all over my keyboard!
I'll buy you a Happy Meal.
Dixie darlin I know you mean well but just what is that "stuff" the put on the meat over there in S.C.?
Best BBQ I ever had was one joint up on highway 116 between 101 and Sebastopol (don't know the name, doubt if it had one) and Memphis Minnie's in the city. Skip the cornbread and meat from any animal smaller than a pig. Go with the beef or pork and white bread.
I'd give it four ribs (out of a possible 10).
LOL. Here in Florida that have a place called, "Sonny's BBQ". It is a complete abomination. To me...it's not BBQ unless it's been cooked over mesquite.
Note to everyone:
Just because you put BBQ sauce on something...it DOES NOT make it BBQ.
Are you serious?????
Here in Houston, I can't just walk around the corner and get a good Italian beef sandwich or a polish. I can't find a good Chicago style pizza either.OK OK.. stop whining.. LOL. You can have a fabulous beef sandwich any time you want one just follow this recipe:

Add a heaping dollop of Hot Jardiniere peppers. Serve on warm crusty Italian bread or rolls.
This is easily frozen and wonderful the following day.. ENJOY
For instance some areas think BBQ is all about the sauce whereas I think sauce is only used when the BBQ isn't any good. Go figure.
