nothing beats brisket or dry-rub ribs

Unless it's choice or up that's some work to make it tender and flavorful.

>>9017588
beef ribs are shit though
actually, beef bbq is shit in general

>>9017573
Why didn't they call this map "things people in these states like to grill out with"?

North Carolina, Lexington-style.

>>9017600
pork ribs are definitely better, I'll give you that, but you can still get dry-rub pork ribs lol

>>9017605
I know. I only eat dry ribs.
I'm just saying most people associate texas bbq with beef, and beef bbq is shit. Also texas loves pepper based rubs and that is shit, too.

>>9017608
brisket is unironically amazing, and easily takes the most time and effort. The other styles rely on sauces to make up for dry meat.

>>9017573

I really want to make a good mesquite BBQ place here so that my fellow Arizonans aren't quite so clueless, allowing others to be even more clueless about Arizona.

>>9017573
I'm from Iowa.

I can get almost any kind of bbq somewhere in the metro.

I usually go to Smokey D's (burnt ends) or Uncle Wendels (ribs/pulled pork).
But Jethros and Wooly are alright.
I used to go to Famous Dave's before I discovered D's.

>>9017573
Missouri.

Tomato based sauce is superior to vinegar based sauce.

Texas.

I can get a lot of decent bbq most places in the states but nowhere do people seem to understand real brisket like Texas. I think Louisiana is a close second for overall quality but I've found some amazing copycats in northern California and Tennessee. I've yet to find anyone outside of Texas who does even passable brisket though.

Oh sorry i'll tell my friend he should let a black person do his job because that's a part of their culture and we dont want to take that away from them.

Why do you have to bring this in a cue thread?

>>9017808
>in the south white people bought black people to do all the farming for them traditionally
No they didn't. Blacks worked large plantations working cash crops. All subsistence farming was done by poor and middle class whites with the only difference being that the middle class had to work right along side their slaves.

North Carolina.

OP picture is factually incorrect. NC should be labeled whole hog as with SC. Choose between mustard based SC, tomato based western NC, or vinegar based eastern NC.

No state has the best BBQ. There are popular but shitty BBQ places everywhere. There are really bad sauces by many standards, also everywhere. And there are cooks/restaurants where the owners are from somewhere else. Trying to make a map and draw lines like food is magically that different state to state is an exercise in silliness. The new england descriptions are laughable. Pizza isn't a meat, whether it's grilled or not, it's not BBQ whatsoever.
Other than Texas which is certainly the home to Brisket, I don't agree with a single other selection, and the mutton is really a small region of Kentucky, because, yea, no one eats mutton in the US, it's too gamey. We only like lamb. And Louisiana isn't grilling the shrimp more than the hog whatsoever. Cajun shrimp aren't grilled. Can you picture some chef throwing dusty seasoning at a grill and getting cayenne in the face? Oh no no. This is madeup crap.
The #1 line at the Jazz and Heritage is a cochon po boy, a whole fire roasted suckling pig pulled and combined with crunchy skin in delicious french bread. http://www.cochondelaitfestival.com/history.html
Myself, I like grilled boudin. Florida? First of all South Florida doesn't have _any_ great BBQ restaurants. And, it's a debate that old time joints like Shortys are all that awesome, just an example of how a vacuum it all is... But, churrascarias are so plentiful skirt steak prices exceed ny strip at Publix. OMFG the latin american, and caribbean BBQ choices number in the 1000s of quality restaurants. Pic is argentinean, a restaurant with literal punchbowls of various chimmichurri sauces. You have little Haiti doing the goat roti.
Get over the West coast of Florida and it's all grilled fresh catch seafood and steaks, not as much smoke n pit BBQ that isn't a chain nonsense.

Completely wrong.

We may not be the best at fucking anything, but the pork isn't bad and its a hell of a lot better than the chicken here.

>>9017682
Indiana here, do whole hog roasts at least a few times a year.

Barbacoa
Eastern North Carolina
Memphis dry
Texas East
Texas Central

I grew up in Texas but tend to prefer pork over beef. I also dislike overly sweetened sauces or glazes like you would find in a Kansas City Style.

>>9017934
A-are you from Wyoming too, anon?

>>9018004
This, I don't know, I feel like we BBQ pork better here

Whenever I have that, it's really good

Whenever I have chicken BBQ by someone here it's really dry and badly cooked

The only exception is when my dad grills some chicken legs which always turn out delicious the way he does them

>>9018088
chicken is tough to do. Too low and slow and it becomes rubbery. Too hot and fast and it's dry. I like to do chicken at about 250-275.

>>9018105
Chicken is just a low tier meat

Hello, fellow iowa bro

Smokey D's is next to big barn harley Davidson, right? I've there, pretty good

Jethros is awesome, but as a 1 every 2 weeks trip type of deal. Going there repeatedly loses its touch.

Go to Clackson's in Altoona, their shit is fantastic. Plus, go to Groupon (don't know if it's still there) and find the coupon there. 50 dollars worth of shit to 30 dollars. Leftovers galore.

He knows what he is doing, been to many over the years in different places without regret. One thing Dave figured out is having 6 different sauces to please all the masses. Get that giant round trash can lid platter there that feeds 4. It's a decent BBQ chain fo sho. Also Dave does a lot of charity work to the native american community youth, which I support! He's a nice dude!

Pork ribs are better than beef. No question. But good Texas brisket is by far the best bbq. Keep your ribs in your inbred hick state. I'll stick with brisket

Anywhere in the South. Texas has the best beef, but that's offset by the fact that you can't get pulled pork at any fucking BBQ restaraunt in the whole state which is fucking retarded. You can get great beef in other states too, and they also have pork like any normal american would expect.

You drink light beers (either calorie or style) because you start drinking when the hog goes on at 6am. I'm a pretentious beer snob, but nobody wants a fucking XXXIPA HOPPED UP or a stout while drinking all day in the heat.

If you're backlashin, then that's a form of control you are allowing to asserted over you. Backlashin is an emotional knee jerk response. Its a rejection of a thing, but not for a logical reason. Its not in your best interest just because your pride got butt hurt Cletus. But sure. Keep voting against your own interest simply because smart people told you what would be good for you.

>>9021755
>not for a logical reason
I'm getting pretty tired of typing in an accent, but I swear that it just can't be logical to let people make their own decisions about what they want for the future and where their interests lie, it's probably a much better idea for them to listen to people with an entirely different culture, who have never once experienced the kind of life they lead, and actively believe they are all fucking retarded and are better off being killed and replaced, to tell them whats best.
Please, please keep talking down at and belittling people you hate. It's worked so very well so far.

Of course it's not as good as Kansas City/St. Louis style ribs from KC/St. Louis, but they're a dependable 7/10.
