Best Barbecue

[Anonymous No.7226653]

What's your favorite type of barbecue, /ck/?
Texas, Carolina, or St Louis style?
Best meats?

Personally, I like smoked beef brisket and pork ribs with Mesquite marinade.

Texas. Smoked brisket is the best bbq and I like the sauce style better, I hate sugary bbq sauce.

I've lived in both the Carolinas, and have to say Memphis is the best. I got served grey boiled ribs at a place that was supposed to be the best in town once in South Carolina. I'm a hoosier, and the best boston butt I've ever had here was smoked by me.

I really like Kansas City style for the variety. The other major varieties focus too much on one dish: brisket in Texas, ribs in Memphis, pulled pork in Carolina. (And pork steak isn't barbecue, St. Louis.)

Yeah, burnt ends are Kansas City's signature dish, but they're almost always served alongside something like ribs, brisket, or pulled pork. The one pitfall of Kansas City style is when somebody overdoes it with the sauce. Brisket doesn't need it, and you should use it sparingly on the others.

All of it.

Hickory smoked, mesquite smoked, sauce, no sauce, it's ALL great.

Best pulled pork comes from the southern coastal states, and you can find melt in your mouth goodness from Virginia all the way down to Florida.

Texas owns brisket. Period.

Ribs and chicken are up for grabs, though, and once you go west of Texas, you won't find any decent BBQ unless it's a store owned and operated by somebody from the south that moved out west.

Not on the meat, no.

I can see the northern mid-west states doing that simply because they make a LOT of cheese, but that's not something we do down south. At best, you might have a mac n' cheese type of side.

Some places won't even use a sauce, let alone cheese.

To each their own, I guess.

this is correct. BBQ is one of the truly american foods (inb4 no one has ever slowly cooked/smoked meat before), and each region has its qualities.

i grew up on KC style with the sweeter sauces, but frequently smoke pork ribs with a dry rub only. i'm not usually a fan of brisket because most places cook it too hot and fast and dry it out, but a properly smoked brisket (or pork butt for that matter) is so tender it almost needs to be eaten with a straw.

i currently live in atlanta, which is really more about soul food. i've had north carolina bbq before, and the all vinegar sauce was...different. but i think i could get into the more mustard based regional sauces in the area.

as someone already mentioned, smoking a whole hog is quite common at arkansas gatherings. therefore, it's not quite as common as other forms of bbq, but when done right, it's hard to go wrong: you have access to any part of the hog you want, and it's always associated with big friendly gatherings, so it comes with good memories.
