#24 – Sam & Daves is excellent, my favorite. No sauce necessary. For fat drippin’ good eatin’, Fatt Matt’s on Piedmont is another winner.

Actually, I think the original A&J’s burned down a couple of years back, but they were able to relocate to a kind of shady looking, run down hole in the wall. It’s my experience that places with the best BBQ are usually a bit sketchy looking, though.

Kleph’s right… it’s not like I’ve ever had any ‘cue I didn’t like.

Did Anthony Bourdain hit any hog ass joints when he highlighted South Carolina the other night, or was it just Civil War re-enacter food, Beaufort Stew, and shrimp & grits? I missed the start and ending of the episode.

I’m waiting for the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man to arrive in that photo.

As an unbiased observer I would have to say KC>>Texas>>Southern>>>>>>>>NC. When the best thing about your bbq is the hush puppies that accompany it, your bbq sucks. That’s why Hansbrough is always running around bug-eyed with his mouth open–he can’t believe the shitty bbq he has to deal with.

TCOAN is the only one of you talking a lick of sense. barbecue is awesome because of the fantastically broad categories of meats, sauces and techniques it encompasses, not because of one or the other someone might or might not prefer.

#23 I grew up on A&J’s Tasty Pig in the 80s. Haven’t been there in years; glad it’s still going strong. Best BBQ in metro Atlanta for me is Sam and Dave’s.

Those in and around the metro ATL area would do well to check out a little place called A&J’s Tasty Pig in Snellville.

Best BBQ in north GA. I’d compare it to other places in NC, Memphis and such, but I’m a Georgia fan and therefore don’t travel much.

Please…

Carolina barbecue, North OR South, sucks ass. Vinegar goes on fish and chips, mustard goes on dogs.

Texas…beef, for the last time, IS NOT BARBECUE.

Dreamland…meh. Overrated. Plus, I’ve been to the other one in Northport…who in the holy hell puts pickles on a barbeciue sandwich? Full Moon and Archibald’s are better.

Growing up in North Mississippi I have to hand it to Memphis, especially Rendevous. Plus, Memphis is the home of the World Championship Barbecue Cooking Contest…’nuff said.

However, I have to hand my personal trophy to Crossroads BBQ (RIP), a ramshackle shack on Toby Tubby Creek Road outside Oxford, Mississippi. No longer there, unfortunately…B’s comes close, but not quite.

those are clouds, not a tornado. You southerners are such pussies.

PS. the “Burnt ends” meal was invented in KC. nuff said, KC wins. Not to mention the New York strip is actually the exact same steak as the the KC strip, except that easterners stole the name.

Who said anything about Dreamland? (OK, I know somebody else did, but it wasn’t me.) Go to Daddy D’z on Memorial Avenue in Atlanta, I’ll take the Pepsi Challenge between that and the vinegar garnish you call “N.C. barbecue” any day of the week.

North Carolina, uh-huh, tell me another one. Stick to your strengths, i.e. basketball and tobacco.

I think I saw Mr. Pelican Pants had a link to an indoor smoker that you could use in an apartment. Maybe he’ll be along shortly.
