Keeno's post in Purple's "hard to follow...recipe" thread got me thinking about this. San Diego is barbeque wasteland. Everyone here raves about Phil's. I am sorry, but if you love Phil's, you haven't had good barbeque. List some of your favorites. Here are a few of mine:
Buzz and Ned's in Richmond, VA Everything was awesome - ribs, pulled pork, pulled chicken, brisket, collards, etc. Bullock's in Durham, NC Best vinegar based pulled pork and awesome Brunswick stew. Carolina Barbeque (in a town between Augusta, Ga and Charleston, SC) Sconyards - somewhere near Augusta, GA. Good pork hash. Maurice's Columbia, SC. nice example of Mustard based barbeque (if you can get past Maurice's political views). Ribs and pulled pork rule here. Those from Texas and the Midwest sound up. I would love to know some great spots to get a barbeque fix when I am out your way. Let the braggin' begin. |

Well said, Keeno. I try to keep an open mind and I don't have an allegiance to one particular style over the other. This message has been edited. Last edited by: Red guy in a blue state, |

Cannot comment on the present, as I don't eat it anymore - but Dreamland BBQ in the 80s, Tuscaloosa Alabama - my favorite ribs on the planet

This is slightly off topic but several have mentioned ribs here. When making ribs at home do people prefer spare ribs or baby backs? I have been doing spare ribs lately and actually prefer them though my wife still prefers baby backs. I think that with the spare ribs coming from closer to the belly that the meat is much more flavorful. I simply cut off the breast plate and feather bones, remove the pleura, and do the same that I do with baby backs – apply rub, put them in a roasting pan covered with foil, and cook at 250 for about 2 hours. I then finish them on the grill applying my BBQ sauce at the very end.

Red guy: You beat me to it! I was waiting because I had to think about what I was going to put on my lists. I am still pondering it.

Last year, I visited my brother and his family in Kansas City. Fiorella's Jack Stack was my favorite out of all the places we tried (4 in total). I don't remember the other names but one place served the ribs on a trash can lid. They were all good IMO.

not enuf meat on the baby backs.. you eat like 40 of them and all you do is sit hungry because of all the effort put into eating them one by one. |

I'm a baby back guy personally. Spare ribs always seem too fatty for my tastes. Now I do love a good burnt end.
KC Area: Haywards - Overland Park, KS area Arthur Bryants - Kansas City - still the best bbq I've had in my life. ATL : Fat Matt's - midtown ATL Dreamland - went once, not near me. Flying Hog: There was dive that went by that name or at least that's what we called it in Austell/Lithia Springs. It was a real dump, so obviously it was good. KC Pit - Sandy springs, they have some of the best bbq wings I've ever had even though they are KU Jayhawk fans. MIZ...ZOU |

I agree. Fat Matt's is pretty darn good. |

Dude, she kids you not. We literally plan trips to the hill country to eat BBQ and pick fresh peaches. Whole trips are planned around this. It's not unheard of for some family member to drive 4 hours to eat BBQ for lunch.  BTW, what PURPLE said. Cooper's in Llano, TX. That's pretty much it for me. Joe ----- Wine is like potato chips around me...if it's open, it's gone. |

I prefer babybacks simply because I can't stand biting into, and spitting out, all the cartilage in spare ribs. Otherwise, they're quite good.
No decent BBQ in PNW either, so I'm left with my own experimentation. I once smoked a brisket on the backyard grill low & slow for about 20 hrs. Damn labor intensive, but it did taste great! *********** You never see crazy people walking the streets, screaming about atheism, do you? |

When I was in high school, one of my buddies was doing a photo-essay on BBQ joints - about 8 of us ditched class and hit 6-8 BBQ joints from 10:45-4 - back to back etc. - and then had to go to basketball practice - it was not pretty. |

Rothko, you know your way around Texas! Any trips planned here soon? |

You may know your way around Texas, Rothko, but you've got to turn in your BBQ badge. Fer cryin' out loud, RW&B is a chain. A CHAIN! We can't have that on the list of good BBQ dives!
I don't get there very often, but I understand that there are some good BBQ dives in Memphis. --------------- cheers, y'all! |

Stemor,
I'm talking about the original location on Wilson Blvd. I can't help it that it has been franchised since. Wine + Art, yes, I do know Texas. I lived in Central Texas for a couple of years. I haven't been back in 10 years, and I really only miss 2 things: the Mexican food and the BBQ. Okay, I miss a few other things (such as the Austin nightlife)... |

I was in Irving TX. 2 weeks ago and few people reccomended Pappas BBQ. We went there for the ribs thought they were good but that was my 1st TX BBQ. Probably be in that area in late Oct. Any other recommendation would be great. I'm not sure where Llano TX. is but I'll look up Cooper's
