No KC love? Really?

Really? Andrew Knowlton is always a pretentious little prick on Iron Chef American, anyway.

The Foodist's 5 Favorite Barbecue Joints in America

In the current issue of Bon Appetit, we name Franklin's BBQ in Austin, Texas the best barbecue spot in the country. Bold? Right on the money? Out of our minds? The reactions have been all over the place. We expected nothing less. They say you shouldn't talk about religion or politics at the dinner table. I'll add barbecue to that list. No other food--not burgers, not pizza, not fried chicken--brings out fanatics like smoked meat. At the end of the day, it's ultimately about celebrating great food and recognizing passionate people who dedicate their lives to it. That's never a bad thing.

On that note, it's my belief that every barbecue lover should have a list of his or her favorite spots across the country. On that list should be the first spot where you fell in love with barbecue--even if it hasn't fared that well over time. Also on the list should be at least one spot located in the town you live, no matter if you live in Anchorage, Alaska or Augusta, Maine. Because people who really get barbecue would rather eat it than debate it....I think. With that, here's my highly personal, very subjective list of BBQ favorites.

Holcomb's Barbeque, White Plains, Georgia
This is the first barbecue I remember eating (chopped pork and Brunswick stew), and for that reason it will always be among the best. This place (at least, what I remember of it, since the last time I ate there was maybe 25 years ago) has all the classic barbecue joint qualities: no frills atmosphere, sawdust on the floor, out of the way location, and sweet iced tea.

Allen & Son, Chapel Hill, North Carolina
Again, it's all the about the chopped pork at this legendary spot. You can get the BBQ plate (with Brunswick stew and Q) but I prefer the simple sandwich piled high with pork and a some coleslaw for crunch and acidity. A bucket list sandwich if there ever was one.

Fette Sau, Brooklyn, New York
Great barbecue in Brooklyn, New York? Take it easy purists: Don't dismiss it until you've tried it. Yes, they do all the traditional styles (brisket, St. Louis pork ribs, pulled pork shoulder) and also cool stuff like Wagyu cheeks, pork belly, and sirloin tip. And unlike many spots, they use organic or small family-farmed heritage breed animals. Authenic? Who cares. It tastes good.

Big Apple Barbecue Block Party, New York, New York
For two days a year during this smoked meat miracle festival, New York City is without question the best place in the world to eat barbecue. Pitmasters from around the country gather in Madison Square Park as crowds swoon. My favorite barbecue gurus who make an annual appearance here include Mike Mills of 17th Street Bar and Grill (Murphysboro, Illinois), Patrick Martin of Martin's Bar-B-Que Joint (Nolensville, Tennessee), and Ed Mitchell, formerly of The Pit (Raleigh, North Carolina).

Podnah's Pit Barbecue, Portland, Oregon
I like Portland. I like Portland's food scene, especially the coffee, Andy Ricker's gutsy Thai cooking at Pok Pok, and Rodney Muirhead's BBQ at this temple to meat. Check the daily specials for stuff like smoke lamb ribs and bone in rib-roasts. His brisket is Texas-worthy and the pork spareribs smoked for four hours would make my granddaddy proud.

That's my list. What's yours?

So are you sayin KC style isnt the be all to end all of BBQ?

Bingo. Part of me gets annoyed at that kind of east/west coaster attitude. But at the same time I think "Good, keep your pretentiousness the hell away from me."

Oh great another BBQ war... I hope free agency starts soon.

Demonpenz · 06-29-2011, 01:04 PM

I will take night of the living sauce as my first round draft pick. I can put that on baked chicken stred it like Stevie Vai it takes rockin!

MOhillbilly · 06-29-2011, 01:21 PM

3-99 a bottle seems super cheap.

**the Talking Can** · 06-29-2011, 01:43 PM

a) he's a d-bag

b) his exposure to bbq is limited to childhood and hipster bbq (NY and Portland)

c) there is no bbq in georgia that would rank in the top 50 nationally...and I'm being kind

**BigMeatballDave** · 06-29-2011, 01:46 PM

And who the hell goes to a BBQ joint and orders ****ing Brunswick stew?

Yeah, that's the dumbest part of the whole thing. He lists a place he hasn't been to in 25 years?

I moved to North Carolina last year and realized quickly that good BBQ was one thing I had sacrificed. The locals brag about their vinegar based BBQ and go on an on about how nobody in the world can match their pork. I have tried enough of it to finally understand why they drink sweet tea. It is to wash down the bullshit they call BBQ~

I can't lie. I love Carolina style BBQ vinegar sauce on pulled pork more than any other kind of BBQ.

Yeah, I don't mind it, either. I'll confess, it's not that I think that KC BBQ is the BEST IN THE WORLD. When it comes to BBQ, I have a lot of love to spread around, and I don't really get that competitive about region. I love most of it. That being said, it pisses me off when they don't even include KC BBQ (one of the three great traditions of BBQ) in articles like this.

Well if you are ever in my nick of the woods I will gladly buy you a plate and some sweet tea to wash it down with

I do not care for either one~

Yeah, the more I look at the article the lazier it seems. It's like he just went out to a NY BBQ festival, visited some friends in Portland and Austin, ate BBQ while he was there, and added in some place he remembers as a kid.

Lots of people here think so! Understandably so....considering the location of most Chiefs fans. I don't really have a dog in the fight as I like many different styles of BBQ, but none would be high on my list given the choice of any foods.
