BBQ Lover?

[crispy_rat]

i was just wondering if anyone on this site is a bbq nut like me? i lived in rochester NY when i was married, i came across this place called the dinosaur bbq...awesome, just awesome. i live in st. cloud florida (right outside of orlando) , we have quite a few mom and pop diners around here that serve bbq.

Just got back from Dickey's BBQ here in Dallas for lunch.

Texas Monthly magazine did an entire issue a few months ago on the best BBQ joints in Texas.

I think the top 10 were all in small towns I had never even heard of and most of them were meat markets that had been around since the early 1900s. I think the best place was only open for like 5 hours on a Saturday from 8am until 1pm and the line to get in each week is HUGE.

my friend was going toTCU in ft. worth. we ate at a bbq joint, and it was awesome. i cant think of the name....grrrr. i love texas bbq.

 

[fast eddie]

my favorite is burnt ends and sausage...mmmmmmmmm yeaa!!!
from my experience ive noticed texas sauces tend to be thinner and more spicey, kansas city sauces concentrate on thick and sweet..just like our ladies!!

Ooooo I see a Memphis-Texas-Kansas City BBQ debate/argument coming.

for the record - The Martin City Smokestack on Holmes and 135th in South Kansas City, MO. There is no better.

 

[Rat Rod]

Yeah...I think those three locations pretty much dominate the BBQ market.

Of course...you watch Diners Drive-ins and Dives enough and you'll see some killer BBQ places in the weirdest locations.

This place is supposed to be the best in Texas...

AAAHHHHH..........BBQ....plus its almost lunch

 

[necessaryevil]

I am a rib-oholic, whenever I go somewhere new I ask around for the best restaurant. My favorite place so far is in Indiana, Mr. Jim's steakhouse. I also like dry rub wings/ribs, but nothing compares to a sloppy sweet bbq sauce.

we don't have many mom and pops around here that do ribs. got some cats that do it here and there with a fair booth set up.

[Gold Street Customs]

I just bought a Tri Tip sandwich, life is better now....ah sorry about the bbq sauce on the keyboard boss... :lol:

This is making me hungry and depressed. I ate lunch and I see no BBQ in my immediate future.

Of course...you watch Diners Drive-ins and Dives enough and you'll see some killer BBQ places in the weirdest locations.

He was just in Boise this last week filming at 7 or so 'Dives'. It will be interesting to see which ones make the cut.

I cook my own, I havent found any "restaurant" BBQ thats better than what I can make at home, so I do it myself.

I do Pork spare ribs and baby backs, pork butt, beef brisket. Plus a few side dishes like baked beans, atomic buffalo turds, smoked cabbage, etc. So far Ive got the Ribs and pork butt mastered, still working on perfecting the brisket, but mistakes are still tasty!

I make all my own rubs and sauces which is not hard to do, but takes a while till you find just the right mix.

I smoke everything using an Oklahome Joe smoker that I inherited from a friend of the family.

So .... yeah I guess you can say Im a BBQ lover!

Im fixin to smoke up 9 more racks of spares this weekend, maybe Ill snap a pic or two for you to drool on.

I can vouch for Ratfink1962's pulled pork.

I was really into BBQing myself for a while. Only cooked a couple times last year from what I recall though. Done all the usual stuff. Also bbq'd fruit and catfish. I really like my own ribs and chicken.
An old photo. Usually the thing would be packed full.

BBQ signs I made for around the house.

 

[Bicyclerick]

My favorite three BBQ places in KC are Gates for the ribs, Arthur Bryants for the beef, and Martin City Smokestack for the pulled pork.
