Who has the best BBQ?

The one that only uses salt and pepper

I'm a Canadian and it's been a meme for a while now for brands of BBQ sauce to pump out various American regional sauces. I can say that Carolina mustard BBQ is BY FAR the best BBQ sauce there is.

What meat?
Brisket: Texas
Ribs: Memphis
Burnt Ends: KC
Whole hog/shoulder: Carolina
Sausage: fucking whoever. You cant fuck up sausage unless you burn it.

Best burnt ends I've ever had were in KC. I like wet sauces too.

That being said the best overall BBQ I've ever had was in Austin, so Texas wins for me.

Carolina and Memphis don't place. Respect to the mustard-based sauces though, I like it every now and then.

I’m assuming he’s gonna say Franklins BBQ or LA BBQ. Franklins was one of the few places that lives up to the hype, that brisket was perfect.

Ask me how I know you've never been to a good bbq place.
Franklin's is decent for a city place run by a guy who admitted he doesn't even like bbq and is just doing it for the money. Hispters and ignorant tourists keep him open. I haven't eaten at La Barbecue, but given that they have equivalent go-fuck-yourself lines, I image it's the same.
Lockhart has better bbq. Even places in San Antonio are better. All food is subjective, but I have had friends that have made better brisket than Franklin's.
Try Kreuz Market, New Braunfels Smokehouse, or walk into a random ice house in San Antonio.
All that being said, there is no "best bbq". It's all just different, and completely subjective.
Except that pork ribs suck unless the sauce is good.

I looked up what you were saying about Aaron Franklin hating BBQ and I see his point. He works on this stuff everyday, he probably doesn’t want to eat it all the time. Do you want him to eat BBQ every meal? Would that make him a better chef?
Anyway, Franklins brisket is very solid, I thought it had a great flavor, melt in your mouth quality but not too fatty, maybe I’m ignorant. I’ve had plenty of BBQ in Texas and it’s been the best I’ve had so far. Franklins definitely is hyped up like crazy, I mean it’s in a a hyped city where people want to come to eat food. It’s accessible to the other shit in Austin so that’s why everyone wants to go. Maybe I liked it more because my brother brought me some so I didn’t have to wait in line, I’m sure the line experience sucks and whatever.
I haven’t been to Snows or Kreuz Market and I plan on eventually going, but being able to get BBQ in the city Franklins is pretty solid. It’s not even my favorite bbq joint in Austin, I like Styles Switch and Kerlins more

I think Carolina BBQ sauces are generally less sweet and more vinegary than the others (based on my limited experience, could be wrong) which I think appeals to Canadian tastes the most. Also, I'm not sure why they bother with the regions since I doubt more than 1% of Canadians are even aware there's a difference.

Texan here but I travel a lot and you're right on the money. They're also big into pickled red onions which I wish was a more widespread thing but at least we have pickled okra. Pickled green beans are another thing that could certainly stand to be more popular.

Carolina does a mustard sauce too

[Anonymous No.14112586]

*North Carolina
SC is mustard-based.
Memphis isn't only dry rub.

Some places get weird. Alabama does a white BBQ sauce which I think is ranch or mayo based or something, I forget which. Some places around where I live will serve it, and it isn't terrible but it's still weird af.

Memphis, Kansas City, Carolina, Texas. In that order.

Memphis and Kansas City are just about equal and both provide greatness. Carolina is a weird distant competitor. Texas is a garbage tier. It sucks.

Cliche bullshit. No one is headed out for Kansas City BBQ for some "burnt ends". And no one wants any cooked in the dirt Texas brisket.

I like them all except Texas, mostly because I don't like smoked beef. Something about smoke+beef that is very unpleasant to me.

You're talking to 10 year participant at the Memphis BBQ festival and Memphis resident that has eaten so much BBQ at every place there that I can tell you what the bottom of the tables taste like. Cozy Corner is the best BBQ in Memphis and in the world. Saying "burnt ends" is a hallmark "best" of any kind of BBQ or an establishment is like saying they have the best garbage. No one is out there running a burnt end championship. Nigga.
