I never eat things cold, it's just a no-no for me on hot foods, but when i took some home i just ate the fries cold, it was so damn good. The GF kept saying that i had to try the best fries ever. I wasn't even hungry when i went but i went ahead anyway and i ended up piggin out.

I ate at Pete's in Houston, TX, and the gentleman who took me to that place bragged on how good it was. Sampled everything. Determined that you can't screw up smoked sausage. The sauce was a corn syrup/ketchup solution, diluted with water, not vinegar. The brisket reminded me of a "St. Patrick's day corned beef Meets Cayenne Pepper" short film. The ribs were way the Hell overdone. If that is an inkling of Texas-Style BBQ, then I just don't understand why that place is raved over and over by Houstonians.
I really like the Carolina pulled pork sandwich at OK Joe's. I like the white cabbage cole slaw as a dressing with on the pork. LC's is great, Gates is good (if you like bread), and BB's has great ribs, beer and blues. Rosedale's has some good ribs, though I'm not a fan of cinnamon in the rub or sauce. Bryant's original sauce is a tad different than what you'd expect at Gates, but it's great, in its own right. Hayward's seems to have gone downhill. I just like to smoke my own stuff. I have yet to master the beans. If I could find a way to do it like Smoke Stack (their meats are really good), then I'd be in the chips. I just like my own fried taters and onions, and my own rub and sauce. That, and I"m a cheap ass.

the difference is the spices and sauces and types of wood.... or the lack there of. i think TN bbq is rather bland. i like my KC if its good KC... i dont care for AB's or famous daves. but jack stack and gates and some of the smaller joints around town who are lesser known simply own! TX is good as well as i like the wood used in it. *found this online, and its a decent response* The meat of choice is pork (Carolina, Memphis and KC) and beef (Texas). 1) Carolina BBQ - is typically pulled (shredded) pork shoulder with a vinegary sauce. Also, the pulled pork sandwich is topped with cole slaw. (very good!) 2) Memphis BBQ - is typically pork spare ribs cut St. Louis style cooked with a dry rub. Depending upon who you ask, some say the ribs should be served dry (no sauce) while others like them wet. 3) Kansas City BBQ - is mainly about the sauce (For example, KC Masterpiece). The sauce is tomato based and tends to be on the sweet side. 4) Texas BBQ - becuase of it's cattle history, Beef is the choice of meat. More specifically, Beef Brisket. The brisket is coated with a dry rub before bbq'ing. Again, some people like it dry others like it wet.

Funny thing is there is always a thread about this on Conference USA message board. They have teams in NC, Memphis and Texas so you get to hear all about all of the different kinds.
