[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Um, no. You are not going to good places if that's the case. Where are you eating this BBQ? I'm from Texas and that's the only place where I'll stand in line for any BBQ. ATX is good but not the best (though Frankilin's is worth it). DFW, HOU, Luling have great BBQ.

I'm not a fan of the saucy NC style BBQ so I would not bother with that. Salt, pepper, meat, fire is all you need.

There is no good BBQ in DC metro or VA.[/quote]
Ugh Texans. :roll:

That said, OP maybe you’re just going to places that aren’t actually making BBQ. As the PP who mentioned liquid smoke mentioned, if they’re not actually smoking meats, yeah, they kind of blend together flavor wise (just. too. much. everything.) But that’s not BBQ, that’s a BBQ themed restaurant.

Get rural or at least exurban if you want good BBQ. [/quote]

To quote a famous old time barbecue joint owner "Anybody with a lick of sense knows that you can't make good barbecue and comply with the health code."

It takes a long time and lots of hands on attention to make good barbecue.  Agree that most places outside of small towns (and a few select big cities in the South) cover up the lack of time and attention with chemicals and sauce.  A good rule of thumb is that any place that doesn't run out of barbecue before the end of the day is faking it. [/quote]
