I grew up in KC and eating Beef BBQ. I moved to Carolina in 84 and a couple of things jumped right out. A: the BBQ is primarily pork and a lot of places don't serve anything else. The sauce is more of a dip and is vinegar based although the eastern part of NC uses a different sauce/dip than what is commonly referred too as "Lexington style" NC BBQ.

Another thing is that in NC most places offer BBQ slaw and will put it on your sandwich if you don't ask them not too. BBQ slaw is a red slaw that has ketchup in it. The sauce or dip isnt particularly hot and is thin and runny.

So, there ya have it.

I 100% prefer KC BBQ over NC although it is different enough that I would miss NC BBQ if I moved away.
