I had no idea school was in session! Thanks for the lesson. :nice:

BBQ is one of the few (non-kid/wife) things that take me away from my cars. Skiing is another.

The bottom line though, is good BBQ is what you like, not what someone else says is good. Take recipes and modify then until you are happy with them. Like school, take lots of notes.

Mmmm, I recall my favorite phrase when I lived in Durham, NC. . . " I'll have a pound of Que, a quart of Slaw and a dozen Puppies to go"

I sure miss that, but living in Seattle, I've learned to make my own.

My bro used to complain the Daytona was sorely lacking in real bbq as he saw it. There's a joint on the strip but it's only fair imo.

What sucks for me is I just moved to ATL and have no idea if there's anything resembling Lexington-style BBQ available around here. :whatthe:

Mustard and vinegar based are the only real BBQ sauces and it's gotta have some heat to it. Maurice Bessinger may be a racist creep, but he knows his mustard based BBQ. http://www.mauricesbbq.com/ It works on either beef or pork, I prefer the pulled pork myself.

That tomato based crap is basically sweetened discolored ketchup, best suited for those who frequent bathhouses in San Francisco.

He got it right, and ate Memphis style. Anything else is a poor imitation. \Flame suit on\:twisted:

Memphis style is 'dry rub', right? That one I haven't tried.

After my first trip to Memphis several years ago, eating ribs anywhere else just isn't the same...

Google "Rendezvous Ribs" although there are some smaller rib places around Memphis that are quite tasty, as well.
