The Barbecue Wars: 2016 Edition • Page 2

STL BBQ would change your mind on that one.

 

Noted. I'll eat something else if I ever find myself there.

 

I might be alone in this, but I've yet to have any BBQ that's made me go "Wow, that's the best" - It's all fairly good, but nothing has made me want to wait in line for hours.

I say this, because I live in Dallas and there are lots of people that swear by certain places and will get in line before the sun comes up to get their food. Most BBQ is pretty similar to me, I guess.

 

Most of the exceptional barbecue I've had has been Austin or Houston

 

Salt Lick, man

 

@ChaseTx
Salt Lick is VERY good, but I don't know if I'd go out of my way for it. Seems like it's maybe 20% better than everything else, not worlds apart to me, but it's been years since I've had it.

Also, Dustin... @ing your name is virtually impossible.

edit: but yeah, Austin>Dallas overall for BBQ.

 

Yeah, in good conscience I cannot cast a vote here until this situation is rectified.

SC not included because what kind of monsters put yellow mustard in bbq?!

 

Memphis son

 

Carolina BBQ is a joke. Haven't found a single joint here in two years with good stuff. Miss TX/MO BBQ.

 

barbecue can definitely go wrong. very wrong. it's not the easiest thing to smoke meat for hours. if it cooks too fast it comes out tough or the fat never melts into the meat

the Carolina mustard sauce is good

 

but yeah apparently barbecue is the worst food you can eat if you're trying to avoid cancer :( :(

 

If you're getting BBQ at Cookout, that's half the problem there

 

Oh man, that was such a letdown. Love me some Cookout fries, shakes, and of course burgers, but that BBQ was a no go.

 

I love barbecue.

 

I voted for Texas. I've smoked all four styles myself and KC is great too.

 

I voted Memphis, but Carolina style needs some more love. It's underrated.

 

Digital Internal thermometer is the best way to help avoid over/under cooking the meat.

Nothing worse then over cooked meat you spent hours on.

 

Central TX style by a mile.

 

amen

 

I'm trying to convince my wife to do a kind of BBQ tour where we would go to different regions and try the best places in those states.

 

Has anyone been to Franklins BBQ in Austin?

That's a bucket list joint for me.

 

It's as great as everyone says

LA Barbecue in Austin and Opies Barbecue in hill country are also about as fine a barbecue joints out there

a beef rib from a great Texas barbecue place trounces everything else you can really get

 

I did not vote because you did not have Eastern North Carolina. Get it right.

I will forgive your comment because your avatar is the Cookout sign.
