I love the great ones, any of them, Bryants, Gates, on and on. But one of my favorites that doesn't get mentioned much is Wyandotte BBQ. I especially love their beef sandwich, their hot fries wrapped in wax paper, and a bottle of RC. I'm especially nostalgic for their State Avenue location. Very consistent food.

Considering that their product is reeruned dog-vomit; **** them in the ass with a flaming Alomar branch.

Isn't North Carolina BBQ the one with the watery BBQ Sauce?

That'd be the vinegar pepper sauce to go with your extra-salty, nice and mushy pork-slop, and your side of coleslaw with ketchup in it.

Just makes your mouth water, don't it?

I've never had real BBQ in my life, I'm super jealous of all of you.

haha my best friend moved to SD recently and misses bbq alot

Jack Stack's desserts are also incredible. I had their triple chocolate brownie sundae....OMFGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

If I lived in KC I would go to Jack Stack's every week. It's also cozy as ****...great place for a date.

Don't be a BBQ bigot.

Carolina sauce has it's place and can be very effective. In fact, I find that the true old style Carolina sauce is a dying breed in terms of culinary style. That the sweet KC style has dominated the market over the past 20 years is not a ringing endorsement of that particular brand of sauce, just that the general masses are more inclined to gravitate towards a sweeter sauce than a tart, vinegary type of sauce.

Personally, I find that the acceptance of the KC style sauce as "the BBQ sauce" in terms of the general consensus is, perhaps, leading to the eventual downfall of what was the greatest and initially accepted BBQ in the world. (And yes, I'm including Jamaican Jerk, Thai, Mongolian, etc. - KC BBQ put BBQ on the map in terms of cuisine, acceptable cuisine to even the gourmet chefs. It allowed the world wide style of "pit" cooking to be accepted as a singular method. They had to account for BBQ as a major influence in terms of culinary and consumer demand and style.)

To discount a particular style of BBQ in terms of it's regional preference is akin to discounting BBQ as an acceptable method for preparing meat in general.

I implore you to try various styles of American BBQ to fully appreciate and enjoy what the craft of open flame cooking provides.

(And I guarantee that the Carolina style will enhance your appreciation of grilled fish all the more.)

The acceptance of vinegar/pepper and mustard sauces would be more acceptable if it didn't taste like shit.

:p

The leading vote getter so far is jackstackBBQ. You can order their ribs, meat etc online at http://www.jackstackbbq.com/default.asp

You have to get you some cheesy corn from there too.

vinegar,pepper and mustard are you friend when Qing. love it.

Bandana's Carolina style [Hot], and KC style [Sweet and Smoky], are their co-MVPs.

I dish out two big pools of them and alternate.

OK Joe's Carolina pulled pork sandwich is in my top 5 mouthfuls of BBQ in the city.

OK Joe's ( the gas station location) and Bryants on 18Th st. Choosing between those two , is like asking a mother to choose her favorite kid..I love them both the same , but for different reasons.
