When I travel in the South, I make sure I try local barbeque at least one meal. Unfortunately, Mrs BV is not a fan, so I am somewhat limited when she's with me. In terms of barbeque fanaticism, I'd rank them 1. Carolinas, 2. Texas and 3. Tennessee. In terms of what I like, I'd rank them 1. Tennessee, 2. Western NC & SC 3. Texas. Never cared for the Eastern NC barbeque or their slaw for that matter.

This thread has inspired me. There's a place in town only been open about 6 weeks that took over a spot I used to love. I will be eating pulled pork for lunch today!
