BBQ Sauce - anyone ever made Gates?

[aturnis]

I live in Iowa and have only heard rave reviews about Gates BBQ, so I decided to try and make it with a recipe I found on the net.

Anyone ever try this recipe? It doesn't taste too great to me. Is it even close to right?

Stubbs sauce, however, is the closest thing you can get to KC sauce if you're out in the sticks though FWIW.

Texas does one thing better than KC. Chili. If it has beans, it ain't chili. I was dying for all meat chili in KC, but it was all just beans and most of it too sweet anyway. Texas does chili better than ANYBODY.

If anybody set up genuine ass kicking KC BBQ in the major cities of California, they would be looking at a gold mine. I've found pretty fair stuff like in Oakland & such, but just not the real deal. Not even close enough to pretend.

The other thing is French Coffee. If somebody ever made the Cafe Americain I drank at every chance in Paris, they would flat put Starbucks out of business. I've never had a coffee like that in America. Never. You can bury yourself in lattes and mochas and it just pales in comparison to real Cafe Americain in Paris.

Now, if you had a KC BBQ restaurant that served Cafe Americain, you could just watch your IPO go to the moon while raking in the billions. And chicks for free.

I couldn't agree more on both points. California is ready for both.
