There are several styles not mentioned that do exist so people can know about, it is either in types of meat and/or sauce that are different.

South Carolina (mustard-based sauce)
Western North Carolina (tomato-vinegar sauce)
Northern Alabama (mayonaise based sauce)
Owensboro, Kentucky (use of mutton)
St. Louis (sause intermediate between KC and Memphis, also uses pork steaks that cooks in the sauce in a pan while cooking)

KC has the American Royal BBQ contest...

I like BBQ in other areas, but nothing has ever compared to the BBQ you find in KC.

I think any true Texas barbecue afficionado would agree with you wholeheartedly. Rudy's has convenient locations are good for barbecue if you just HAVE to get some. But the very best stuff is in either Lockhart or Luling.

Thank you. Honey mustard BBQ sauce is the best I've ever had, by far. So damn good. It makes me happy that I'm not in Carolina anymore because if I were, I might be 30-300 pounds heavier.

grindin - I used to love Goode Company but recently visited Houston and my friends said it was not the same -- maybe they just didn't want to go..

Texas Beef is so wonderful that the current rage is now Brisket Tacos.
