I would say the style is the same (low heat, slow smoked), but not as much emphasis on brisket as in Central Texas. To me, it's hard to find a really decent BBQ joint in the city itself. Hartmann would probably have the best recommendation, however, since that's his turf and he probably knows of some places that I've never heard of.
