BBQ... The real thing
 
I'm going to quote myself here


"Forget all you folks who think throwing meat on a grill at a little house party is BBQ.

If the meat hasn't had a dry rub put on it, followed by hours of precious slow cooking (in a smoker of course), basted and then blasted with some good bbq sauce after it's finished... Then it isn't BBQ."

And without further ado, straight from kansas city, I give you-

I got my first taste of Kansas City BBQ in December thanks to Mr. allanb, Blake. I am sold. ;)

BBQ without a smoker isn't real BBQ.

Can't disagree with you there :tu

Everything else is "just grilling" :D

Re: BBQ... The real thing
 
agreed, without smoking low and slow, it is just grilling, but don't know anyone who would argue that

I got a smoker this summer, and the first time smoking anything I was cooking for 50+ people for my Aunt's birthday (no pressure) made baby backs and brisket. it was a lot of work but a lot of fun. we are thinking about having a competition this summer, just for fun of course with family and friends.

The best BBQ I've ever had was prior to 1986 when I moved to Texas, it was from Leo's Bar-B-Q in OKC. I think it was on Kelly? Great meat and sauce to die for.

I have done briskets on my WSM for the past two weekends. I'm just getting into it, bur it has been a blast so far. People are amazed (and so am I) by what I can put out. It's also a great excuse to stand around and have a smoke.

Re: BBQ... The real thing
 
KC BBQ isn't complete without a visit to Gates BBQ and Sons. When I lived there for 12 years I was a permanent fixture and I have tasted every BBQ joint in town,,you're not going to beat this place. Just like cigars, we all have our tastes when it comes to things we like and BBQ is subjective at best,,,,but Beef on Bun with fries,,,BB and Yammer pie gets it done every time!!

WSM user as well. You will be surprised at the quantity and quality of BBQ you can produce now.

just like cigars, taste is a matter of preference and is subjective, no one is wrong.

Ahh, but the arguments will always be waged. Everyone has their favorite.. I know I do.

Anyhow, one thing that can't be disputed about bbq is that it must be done low and slow. No exceptions.

I have had bbq in my city of winnipeg manitoba canada and they claim its "kansas and tennesse -Style-" and it was pretty good, but i'm sure it's nothing like the real thing.

Only "real" bbq i feel i've had was in texas, and it was pretty darn tasty, but I won't rest until I've had KC and some others :)

If you are talking about the outside, that's the way you want it. Those crispy bits have a ton of flavor. If you are talking about the inner part of the meat, you don't want to eat a brisket medium rare. That first bite would take you 10 minutes to chew through.

The outside is perfect, looks :dr.

The inside could use a touch of red, but I agree definitely not med rare for brisket.

I have lived here in and around Atlanta my whole life and there is nothing but sweet Georgia Peaches, all the ho's are transplants.

As far as bbq I am a fan of almost all styles myself. The best, imho, coming out of Eastern NC, KC, and Memphis. Recently though in Atlanta (actually Marietta) a new bbq resturant called Sam and Dave's opened that really is some of the finest pulled pork I have ever eaten.

cle_smoker 03-01-2009 09:06 PM
Re: BBQ... The real thing
 
I will admit that was my first one, and I went a little light on the smoke. The last one I cooked back in the fall had a good 1/4" ring and topped this one by far. But it didn't sit around long enough for pics. :)

Let's be honest. Does any city/states BBQ suck? I mean SPECIFIC people might make some bad BBQ themselves, but for the most part ALL BBQ is awesome. :2

BBQ is awesome. But I've got to represent my hometown stripes. KC is often referred to as the bbq capital of the world, and for good reason... I love me some good bbq. Kansas city wouldn't be nearly as exciting without all the awesome joints we have here.

I can't say which region sports the best Q, but KC serves up some pretty good stuff.

I worked at a bar in NC that did these about once a month. We had a guy that came in with a slow cooker made from a 55-gallon drum mounted on a trailer. He'd start cooking the night before, and it was sooooo good... :dr

I can't think of one place on Beale Street that has really good Q. Now there are several places in Memphis that are top notch... Central BBQ being my favorite, but on Beale the only place that is even decent IMO is The Pig and that is only for there sauces. Sorry for the run on sentence!!
