bore USA barbecue king

[Eschaton]

there can be only one

but im giving three votes

[Steve Contra]

Kansas City, the Carolinas, and Texas.

I'd put the Carolinas at the top.  That pork.

[Am_I_Anonymous]

KC brehs...



Burnt Ends are god's best creation.



I only voted KC....but St Louis and Memphis are tied for second.

Carolina needs to GTFO out of this poll with their bastard mustard creation.

[Steve Contra]

The best vacation I ever had was in KC because I just ate barbecue for three days straight.

If I lived in KC my ass would look like Fat Albert.

My favorite foods in the world (top 5)

1) Mom's pork chops...still can't replicate it. Momma, come over
2) KC BBQ
3) Tex Mex
4) New York Pizza
5) Steaks in any state in the plains

[Steve Contra]

Also the honey mustard thing people associate with the Carolinas isn't actually a region wide thing, and most places you can't even find it.

And you'd be happy looking like that.

True, I forgot about their dry rubs.

I had a house in Columbia though, mustard on everything.

fuck this thread I'm trying to lose weight

carolina style is good

plus even if you don't like it you have to acknowledge they're originators.

I voted

-memphis. best ribs and pork handling, especially dry rubs. thin Vinegary sauce is ideal; they let the meat + smoke speak for itself instead of covering it with sugar which is the main weakness of...

-kansas city which i voted for cause they have all around good shit (they barbecue everything man) and burnt ends which are gawd tier, but can definitely be pretty sauce dependent.

-st louis, pork steaks are one of my favorite things to barbecue and i gotta hold it down for the hometown.

I forgot about Carolina dry rub, that shit is legit.

As for sauces....I need me some molasses in my sauce. Don't come at me with that ketchup based Ohio crap I have to tolerate now.

If I don't come out of the BBQ joint looking like I was in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre then your shit is not legit and you should feel bad.

[Eel O'Brian]

i pretty much like it all

i prefer my bbq sliced, but you ask for that around here and people act like you're bill cosby

[Am_I_Anonymous]

If I'm doing my own BBQ and can't be assed to make my own sauce (most of the time) I use this shit, it's pretty much as good as you can get.

you think that way but when you live in one for an extended period of time you can easily get sick of it. i'm from a fairly respectable bbq city in st. louis and spent a few years in memphis, and to be honest at the end of my memphis tenure i was looking at any bbq like (Image removed from quote.)

Live in Ohio breh....land of bland.

If I moved to KC today I bet I'd put on 25 pounds by christmas.

[Am_I_Anonymous]

Oh and by the way Washington DC is always underrated when it comes to BBQ....they got some good spots down there.

[nudemacusers]

i had some really good tofu bbq in portland

spoiler (click to show/hide)

Accept nothing less 

[Himu]

Texas and Floridan is the only style I've ever had. So I'm going with Texas.

[Huff]

Best bbq I've had was Franklin's in Austin. Worth every minute of the three hours we waited in line

[TakingBackSunday]

acting like its anything other than KC....psh

[Steve Contra]

You been to Eastern North Carolina?

[Steve Contra]

Lockhart

I don't think you can discuss barbecue with any authority until you've been there.

[Am_I_Anonymous]

evilbore showing out for memphis

acting like its anything other than KC....psh

KC is only popular because their shit is meat candy bathed in sugar. Don't get me wrong, I love it; i voted for it. But it's always going to be the most widely loved in America cause it's overly sweet and uncomplicated. That doesn't mean they're the undisputed king tho

Burnt ends would like a word with you for telling straight lies up in this post.

[Am_I_Anonymous]

I already said burnt ends are good, bruh. They're a bbq delicacy. But they're also very much bbq 'candy' in a sense, being the fattiest part of the rib crisped up and slopped on some sauce. They're like the bacon of barbecue.

Burnt ends, home style mac and cheese, greens, and cornbread....that's what God eats

[Am_I_Anonymous]

Damn, that looks good.

Now see this sucks man. My wife and I are having some drinks and dinner with some friends tonight and I want burnt ends. Nobody in this god-forsaken state has ever even heard of them.

The struggle is real.

[Am_I_Anonymous]

Looks good. A lot of people would say all those pickled veggies is some bourgeois / hipster barbecue and they might have a point (your standard southern joint might give you some pickled cucumber slices and coleslaw) but I think of it as a very southern thing.

I'm not saying bbq in the north is all automatically bad, especially because you know, people move and shit, but I tend to give it the because northerners are the type of people to say only pizza from NYC is real pizza.

Put pickled anything next to my BBQ and get punched in the mouf brehs. I once ordered a McRib, once, and it had pickles on it. I about puked that shit up.

austin brisket

I only know Texas BBQ, but it's good tho.

[TakingBackSunday]

can we make a similar thread about hot chicken

[Steve Contra]

Wouldn't that essentially be Nashville and no where else?

[TakingBackSunday]

For the most part but there is a fucking war going on right now for the best hot chicken in middle tennessee

also I hear chicago has hot chicken now too

[Joe Molotov]

Yup.

You could do fried chicken, but that's not really something with regional styles of cooking.

We could just make a thread about how awesome fried chicken is.
