It always seems like the vinegar people always fight to the death for their beloved sauce. Bet this would be interesting debate in Memphis, Texas or Oklahoma.
There is just something inherently wrong with a food that requires bowls of hot wash water, fresh finger towels, and/or a bundle of sanitary wipettes to be served with the meal.
C'mon now Roger - how 'bout chicken wings? and lobstah?
Finger lickin' good!
yeah Oklahoma has BBQ but of course it's beef. They look at you weird if you ask if they have pork BBQ.
To me barbecue is chicken, pork or beef cooked slowly over wood/coal fire with red/brown sauce. I don't care what meat it is, as long as it is not solely vinegar (boring) based.
I'm just sitting back and enjoying this thread since I just returned from TEXAS where I had my beloved beef brisket BBQ. You will never get me to accept the vinegar based stuff as the real thing.
I like 'em all. Coming from Texas, the NC style took a bit of getting used to, but I like it. I typically eat the meat as served, rather than adding extra sauce.
Q Shack has all styles of barbecue, including brisket and pork. They also have good fried okra and mac & cheese.
Of course, my favorite is Goode Company in Houston. Since I can't go there, I make my own - right down to the jalapeno cheese bread. The Meat House in Cary sells brisket, and I order the sauce and rub online from Goode Company.
How funny in the video they mention folks up North treat BBQ as a verb; that was so true several years ago when I lived in the DC area, I was invited to a BBQ. Growing up with Southern parents, I expected ribs and chicken. Instead it was burgers and hot dogs; I was pretty upset since I was a newly commissioned officer and I was missing home. That was the first time I realized BBQ had a different meaning for other people. My parents were from Louisiana, so I grew up with both vinegar and tomato based sauces.

Ok, Ok - I can't take it anymore. Bring on the TEXAS BBQ!
