Excuse me? North Carolina Barbecue IS the real barbecue. It's been around the longest, and it tastes the best. Plus we don't ruin it with Mesquite.

At least you know what sweet tea is. Otherwise I would seriously question your southernhood.

Are you seriously comparing Virginia with the Kings of Barbecue? OR yourselves, for that matter?

Pulled Pork is not BBQ, neither is putting slaw on a hamburger. Brisket and sausage are the backbone of any BBQ.

Meatball you're my boy but I will bury you.

Pulled pork is the ONLY true BBQ -- and by the way, it's only "pulled pork" to people who don't know. It's sliced or chopped BBQ. And anyway, you can't BBQ a sausage because the flavor won't soak in right; that's the point of real BBQ.

I also fail to see Hushies in your list of sides; I'm afraid I'll have to count that against you as well.

A Carolina boy never stands down. Why do you think they call us "tar heels"? We stick to our ground, that's why.

I guess I should be getting in on this, oh little men with your barbecue pits.

Jayssuus. Brisket is the true BBQ meat any yank or Californian can do pulled pork. Brisket is an art form passed down from one Texan to the next. Pulled pork is an abomnation of God

Hush puppies? A side? Yea a side dish for the appetizers Maybe and thats if it's a light BBQ

[CountArach]

And yet no mention of Australian BBQ?

[Beefy187]

Roast Beef

FOOD FIGHT! My favorite BBQ is the one on the plate in front of me at the moment even if it's yours. Deftly removes SFTS's & Reverend Joe's BBQ plates and drinks their beer as they squabble....musn't let the BBQ get cold & the beer warm...momma didn't raise no fool.

A barbecue is not right unless the sausages are charcoal on the outside, and raw inside. And it has to be raining.

My Italian grandmothers cooking... it doesn't matter what

I'm sure your brisket is fine and all, but you're definitely right about one thing: any damn yankee can do "pulled pork." Only a true North Carolinian can do Chopped BBQ. Besides, I bet those damn yankees don't have the patience to cook an entire pig over the course of an entire day. That takes dedication and skill.

Trust me, man, if you've never had true chopped BBQ, you don't know. Your problem is probably that you've only had the "pulled pork" ripoff crap.

And don't you dare knock the Hushies.

My Irish father actually cooks some of the best Italian I've ever had. It's better than every "authentic" Italian restaurant I've ever been to, no matter how expensive. I seriously doubt anyone but a true Italian could beat him.

[Strike For The South]

Pulled pork is pulled pork, I'm not budging on that.

As for Italian. Kush I know you are a posh northerner in 2 ways. More French than Italian. If it's not for them Mezzigiorno it isn't Italian.

Most food i find in Italian restaurants is either not as good as my grandmother's or too fancy. By too fancy, I mean she doesn't cook it because of their poor upbringing. The average Italian didn't eat it.

French? Heh... hardly.

My ancestors came from small farming villages near Naples. My grandfather still doesn't like Northern Italy.

No it's not. Chopped is the way to go. And NC does it best, the stuff here in VA does not compete.

Brisket is good too, but the real BBQ is found in small, rundown looking restaurants scattered throughout North Carolina.

Personally I'm a rib man when it comes to BBQ.


I prefer brisket cooked down in Greens (with ham hock), and served with black eyed pees (with pig's tail).

[Reverend Joe]

I still don't see how Brisket counts as real barbecue... I mean, it's not pork. How can it be?

Ah, well... to each his own.

Why are y'all so close minded. Any animal can be barbecued. Be it rabbit, duck, shrimp... beef, pork, whatever you catch..


My favorite thing to barbecue is beef heart.

This is a painful post Drone.

TBH I'll eat anything I just like to pick fights. I still think My Q is the best but to each his own.

And that's the way it should be. Everybody thinks their BBQ is the best, it's a great food to be passionate about. Makes everyone raise their game.

[seireikhaan]

I'm with Strike here- pulled pork is the absolute bottom of bbq, if it even makes it on the ladder.

A rack of KC bbq ribs is tough to top, in my view.

I think the best barbecue is made in West Alabama.
