My personal opinion on BBQ is that if it is not from Shelby County or Tipton County in Tennessee, it does not even rate a mention. Examples:
1. I lived in Beaumont, TX for two years. Their brisket is OK, but it's not BBQ. My late wife called it roast beef. Of course if you have a hankering for some armadillo, they will serve you that too. As I told my uncles in Texas: If your recipe does not begin with "Take one pork shoulder", you have already messed up.
2. Went to Cincinnati once for a basketball tourney in the C-USA days. Somebody said "you need to try this BBQ place up the river". We drove 30 minutes to get there, and it was nasty.
3. Took a football trip to UAB. Somebody says "Dreamland is famous, let's go there". Bottom line, after sampling pulled pork and ribs, one of our fans commented "I wouldn't feed this stuff to my dog."
4. In Boston, we visited the dock to see historic ships. There was a sign BBQ Here. I said I'm going to go over there. The wife said "You are not gonna buy any?" I said "Nah, just want to see what they are selling". Friends and neighbors, they had some stringy-looking beef in a crock pot. I kid you not. I tried to find a number to call the BBQ police, but could not find one.
5. I've tried both Kansas City and North Carolina BBQ. They are OK, but just OK. Not good enough to be in the running, IMHO.
So, my personal rule now is: Do not eat any BBQ when outside of West Tennessee.
Lol! Beaumont is the armpit of Texas!
Lubbock and Waco are... Heck even college station is too... Hehe
