Actually, there are two religions of BBQ, the false antichrist version centered in North Carolina, but even that false religion is superior to anything most Californians have experienced.
A steak on the Webster is not BBQ.
you're right........we are just grilling in the coast but once you get into central Calif, you would think you were in Texas in many parts........really.....in fact alot of areas remind me of how San Antonia was when I was last year....got some mean BBQ in parts of Missouri to around Kansas City.......but would grant you that Texas is mighty fine BBQ
My grown children live in Texas and when they visit home in Memphis the first meal they want is BBQ. They claim BBQ can't be found in Texas.
