Russell Street BBQ
325 NE Russell St.
Portland, OR 97212
Great beef brisket, unbelievable pork ribs.
Local brewers have supplied the kegs (laurelwood)
Not to mention the homemade fried pies (ala Mcdonalds only ten times better, chocalate, cherry, etc.)
They smoke their own meats. My favorite is the whole chicken. It's mostly a carry-out, but there are a few tables indoors or outside on the porch.
KC has two fine places - Arthur Bryant's and Gates.
It depends.
If I am in Augusta, GA, its Sconyers BBQ. Quality Meat, good spicy sauce, Hash based sides, good Tea.
In Savannah, its Barnes BBQ...same as above but the sides aren't as good. The tea is like manna!
Disney World has quite good BBQ at the FlameTree in Animal Kingdom....good portions and good taste.
The BBQ I smoked on the grill last night was the best I've had in a while. I made the tea and it was also good.
With me, the best BBQ in the world does depend on where I am at the time.
Bone Daddy's, Dallas Texas.
No plates, just heavy craft paper. The real deal.
My back deck. I just took a pork shoulder off the smoker, chopped it, added homemade bbq sauce and am enjoying it as I type.
(This is the 2nd food thread i've been eating the subject of as I read this week)
BBQ ping is in order.
While not the best I've ever had, it ranks up there: Peggy Sues in Snyder Plaza (near SMU) in Dallas.
The best brisket I've ever had was this hole in the wall place in Grand Prarie, Texas, that I don't think is around anymore. The brisket was sliced but there was no need to cut it either with a fork or knife. You just put your fork into whatever sized bite and pick it up.
As far as ribs go, I've probably smoked some of the better ribs I've eaten, and I'd have to think about anywhere else. I'm not really into pulled pork or pork butt, but Texas does have a Memphis style chain that's pretty decent called Red, Hot and Blue. However, the best places in Texas to get BBQ are roadside shacks and holes in the wall in town.
The first weekend of November (Deer season) and the first weekend of April (turkey season) the Winchell Volunteer Fire Department, Winchell, Texas has the best brisket, sausage and chicken with all the trimmings, cooked and served by volunteers. Head cook is the first Republican ever elected in the county and that was in '92. Stop by if you are in the county. All you can eat....$6.00!
All Freepers are invited.
