cole slaw. you can mix a little bbq sauce in it and its pretty good.

I like coleslaw w BBQ mostly because of the flavor and temperature contrast. For the same reason I'll eat a few sliced pickles with a BBQ dinner.

I had never even heard of Brunswick stew until I visited Georgia. Apparently it really is a big deal at BBQ joints over there. In texas it's unheard of. I ordered some with my BBQ plate and enjoyed the Brunswick stew more than the BBQ. Great stuff.

yea it's big deal in georgia, most of the time when people here discuss bbq joints the first question is "how good is their stew?"

GREEENS nigguh. preferably with a little dried onion and crispy potk fat and lots of pot likker.

ill eat a side of greens a foot high with my bbq

onion rings or fried okra
corn on the cob w/butter, hopefully in a boat of butter and pepper grinders on the table
sweet potato

potato salad
If it's my house where I'm having the BBQ and I planned ahead, I like a bacony eggy potato salad with lots of celery leaves in it. Grandma's recipe.

My baked beans are s'alright, but not on par with the better BBQ joints using drippings and pork in there. It's baked with a layer of bacon and red bell peppers arranged on top, lots of onion, added chili sauce, mustard, worchestershire, touch of brown sugar.

Cole slow is so hit or miss in a restaurant, where it might be a sugary food processed mess. I have to know if it's good before I order it (be a repeat customer). I like creamy slaws with a hint of apple cider vinegar, and copious celery seed, hopefully super fine savoy cabbage.

Corn bread is hit or miss, usually sweet in a restaurant setting, bleh

>Cole slaw is GOAT, esp if the bbq is spicy
>Beans, when done well, are also great
>Mac'n'cheese is ok, but sometimes it can be too rich combined with the meat
>Corn on the cob is fucking shit, who wants to eat a meal with corn stuck in their teeth the whole time
>Thick white bread is good with nashville-style hot chicken
>Collard greens are only acceptable with fried chicken

>Brunswick stew
yea, no thanks. Any soup that has a couple cups of ketchup, bbq sauce, worcestershire...and then park a lot of leftovers in it, like chicken and beef.
No. Just no. Yea, I've tried it everywhere.

This recipe needs to stay in the 1950s history. It's possible to make soup with delicious lima beans and corn, and not use a bunch of crap from bottles. It's not that much worse than Kentucky Burgoo, where you dump a bunch of steak sauce and worcestshire on each serving. Dear God!

greens are GOAT
especially with pulled pork and corn bread

My usual go-to choices are cole slaw, greens or mac and cheese if the options are standard. If fried okra is an option though I'm gonna pick that every time.
