Lets talk BBQ
What i've been thinkin bout is.... other than location. what makes it Texas BBQ, or KC BBQ, or Memphis BBQ, or Carolina BBQ, etc.
I've spent most my life in TX, eatin' all my BBQ in TX, with the exception of two places. I've had plenty of good, and some great. I've always judged the BBQ here by and large by the chopped beef sandwich. if your sauce and chopped beef aren't delicious together, most likely i don't want any ribs or chicken. The other two BBQ joints i ate at were... Arthur Bryants in KC. was there for my pilgrimage to Arrowhead and a place called Corky's in Memphis. Was there for a Widespread Panic show. I had some chopped beef at both joints and was not overly impressed, but the sausage sandwich i had at Arthurs was out of d*mn sight, it was hot, it was sliced nice and thin, and stacked high. it was great. prob the best sausage sandwich i've ever had. At corky's the ribs i had were great, i mean really really good. i didn't finish my chopped beef sandwich, but i did ask for some ribs to go. These two experiences blew my theory away. i still think that the chopped beef makes or breaks you in TX, and most TX joints usually have some version of habanero sauce, or jalepeno sausage, and they all got pickles and onions, and most have banana pudding(preferably with nilla wafers), amd beans. what makes it KC, Memphis, or Carolina BBQ? |
