Fraydog Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 This thread went from too many offtopic comments to no discussion at all. Which is better to eat while tower spotting: Texas vs KC barbecue. Discuss. Murphysboro, IL has 17th Street the only 3 time world champions of barbecue. The world championships are held in Memphis. That's a pretty killer BBQ city too. Everyone talks about KC and Texas, yet those places get glossed over when they more than hold their own. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had some good stuff when I was in Nashville last year. Haven't had Carolina style yet. I hear their pulled pork is something special.

That crap up in NC is nothing compared to what we have going on in SC. Pulled pork is known as BBQ here. Ask for a BBQ sandwich and you'll get a pulled pork sandwich. Ask for a pulled pork sandwich and they'll know you aren't a local. And whatever you do. Get the Mustard based sauce. Vinegar and ketchup based sauces are too overbearing on the meat flavors.

I use a charcoal smoker with mesquite lump and a combo of Jack Daniels and Tabasco white oak barrel chips. Best pulled pork ever!

trox1971 Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Eastern Carolina barbecue rocks, the best of the best!! By the way I'm talkin' 'bout de real Carolina (NORTH). It'll even make U forget that no Sprint lte coverage east of I-95 I called 311 earlier today and negotiated my way to someone who could explain why there were a lot of 'holds' on Sprint tower permits in NE Mecklenberg county. While I don't believe she knew what she was talking about, she did admit the holds had to do with improper electrical wiring...... I am headed to my favorite barbecue joint!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert via Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4 Beta Tabasco, is good but Franks Red Hot or a new sauce I found called Cackalacky, its a sweet potato based hot sauce that gives a better taste after slow cooking.

WiWavelength Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 To add to the debate, I coincidentally last night had Beef on Bun at Gates and Sons BBQ -- the king of Kansas City BBQ and maker of the world's best BBQ sauce. AJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a pretty killer BBQ city too. Everyone talks about KC and Texas, yet those places get glossed over when they more than hold their own. Been many years since I was there and sampled it but I'll definitely second this, some of the best food I've eaten to date still. I skipped lunch and got the sampler platter of a smaller portion of everything for (at the time) about $21-22. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PythonFanPA Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Oh, and I'm glad to see (AJ's slant aside) all the talk of pulled pork, I get tired of people who fixate on ribs when it comes to BBQ. Not saying I don't like ribs, but most of the time I'd take pulled pork regardless of the region its from over ribs. At the obvious and blatant risk of taking AJ's tangent and making it even worse, I think the reason for that is that pulled pork gets you more bang-for-the-buck in terms of the (portion) size of the meat.
