The eastern style with the vinegar is awesome.

If anyone ever gets to go to Greensboro, NC, don't miss an opportunity to go to Stamey's BBQ.

Mmmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmmmm!

Nah!
Not complicated...
Moxie is distributed most all places..
I think plain old molasses would probably do just fine!

I'll remember Betty's but I haven't been to Abilene in 20 years. I live in Alabama and these boys here think the only conceivable things to BBQ are pork and chicken. I miss beef BBQ.

Did Bobby's overlook a lake? I know the place where you were eating. It's not the best BBQ around here.

I hope you enjoyed your stay.

Id like to try that recipe

Ive added coffee to my tomato based sauces..it gives a rich complexity.

Some use cola some use chocolate as secret ingrediants..but the sugar burns. Ya gotta know what yer doin

[MS.BEHAVIN]

Just a reminder, that the recipe I posted in an eating sauce, not a cookin' sauce!
It's really good, try it!

Maurice's BBQ Online This was the place that Wal-Mart and other stores took his sauce off the shelf because of the Rebel flag. Maurice is based in Columbia,SC.

 The sauce is very good.

What's the name of that famous joint in Rocky Mount? I ate there about 15 years ago, it was great, but I can't remember the name of it.

Parkers.

"Ain't but three things in this world that's worth a solitary dime: old dogs, children, and watermelon wine." And, I might add, barbecue.

Cherry, the "Cornell recipe" was developed at Cornell University in New York, I've been told. Folks here use in on their catered barbecued chicken.

Sorry, diabetes. Anyway, sugar kills any thirst quenching properties, at least for me.

Try Splenda^®.

Don't get me wrong, I like BBQ. It tastes good. I just can't imagine actually debating the merits of different sauces and techniques. I love it all myself. BBQ pork, brisket, sausage, and even the good old grilled burger or hot dog.

[DaGman]

I thought the only real choice was mesquite or oak.

Bob Melton's closed down last year, I think it was. They finally abandoned the old site near the river...got flooded out too many times. They weren't able to make a go of it at the new location, and finally closed for good.

So now it's Gardner's, in several locations. The biggest and best is off Rt. 301 just north of the Benvenue overpass, on the east side of the highway.
