shareholder,

You could start fights with this type of question.

Personally, I prefer 'southern' style BBQ with a sweet, sticky sauce applied after ribs have been slow cooked for a long time. To me, the best example of this style is Tom's on North Federal Hwy in Boca Raton, FL.

Sonnys or Greenbrier
 

I am a fan of Sonnys which is a chain mostly in Florida, unbelievable sweet sauce. Greenbrier is just outside Huntsville, Alabama, very good southern BBQ.

Bill, if that is the case, hie thee to Tom's on May 15: The Great Delta Board PBI-FLL Meet will be held there. (Open to all F/Ters, not just DL flyers.)

What do you call a vegetarian in a BBQ restaurant?

Lost. :D

^ ^ on Rendezvous. I was in Memphis for a conference and we had an all-you-can-stuff-in-your-face dinner there. mmmmm

I like the chain Red, Hot and Blue in Illinois and Texas and ??

In Denver, KT's BBQ in Boulder and Broomfield

[QUOTE=greggwiggins]This is a deep subject; to begin with, what style of BBQ? There's Texas, Kansas City, North Carolina, South Carolina....QUOTE]


On the opposite side of the question - the worst I ever had was in Raleigh, North Carolina - a mixture of ketchup and vinegar - horrible!!

Personally I like Fatt Matts ribshack in Atlanta
Nothin Fancy just good Barbecue ( i recommend the ribs) served on Paper plates with good live Blues

Be still my throbbing gullet. I'd like to place my order now. I'll have a 1/2 pound rib dinner with double fries with extra sauce and don't forget the corn bread for sopping up the leftover sauce. I've been eating Tom's Q every since he left the Boca Hotel and opened in the concrete block shack on Glades Rd. It's great eating and authentic Southern food. The collard greens are top shelf and they usually have gizzards available at lunch on Fridays. Be nice to the lady at the register. She's Tom's wife and keeps things humming. Tom is a truly nice guy.

Good call that you really have to break this down into regions of KC, Carolina, Texas, etc ...

But since I'm in Texas at the moment, I'll consider that ... Goode Company Barbecue in Houston, hands down. You're not going to find a better brisket. And the only place you'll find better ribs are, well, in my back yard.

Of course, I can't say that County Line and the Salt Lick in Austin are bad, though ...

As we're quickly finding out, when it comes to barbecue, you just can't go wrong with it when it's really, really good. I'm starting to get hungry.

Capital Q in downtown DC

I used to like the BBQ joint in Stark FL 'till I learned that Stark is where Florida has O' Sparky (the electric chair). Never felt the same about BBQ in Stark!

I *really* like Jack Stack's in Kansas City. The ribs are amazing!

Flints on Shattuck just inside Oakland from Berkeley border.

A two way with links and sliced beef with medium or hot sauce and you will have a new satndard in BBQ in your life.

Also, FYI, a huge thread on BBQ in Dining a few months back. Too lazy to search right now. Anyone...?

Mike

I'm with you on flints. i never liked links in the US, but those are unbelievable.
Went by there are few months back and they were closed. hope its not permanent. love the menu "extra bread: 5 cents".
