you're right, i should lighten up. i should learn that when people, esp. texans (imo) say the best in the world is.....they really mean the best they've tried. for example,
1. the best brisket i've ever had is Rudy's. not even close
2. worst baby back ribs i've ever had (admit that i only ate one and threw the rest away) is Rudy's. how in the hell someone can cook heavenly brisket and then put our garbage for ribs is beyond me.
3. best bbq restraunts in one city: memphis tn.
second best: kansas city
4. best st. louis ribs i've had: corky's, memphis, tn. i know it's a chain but so is rudy's
5. best pulled pork i've had. just about anywhere in memphis, although i've had world class elsewhere in tn., georgia, south and north carolina.
6. best sausage. louisiana.
7. best baby back ribs. i'm over 60 and haven't found a bbq joint yet that has nailed baby backs. they are either raw (rudy's) or so overcooked you can't recognize them for what they are.
8. best beef rib(s). the Oak Room, atlanta georgia. right on the northern perimeter close to the queen and king bldgs. if you live in the atlanta area, you owe it to yourself to go there. best bbq shrimp outside of new orleans too.
anyway, i have traveled the south on expense acct for almost 40 yrs and have eaten in a lot of places. and i do need to lighten up. thank you.

i agree 100%. it doesn't seem to stop the locals from claiming "the best in the world" thing tho. it's got to where i completely disregard rest. suggestions from the folks around here.

Rib day at Hometown Cafe in Harrison, AR mid-late 90's was legit. They did em fantastically.
Hope you got a chance to visit there GrandDad.

The best brisket I have ever had was at Coopers in Llano, TX.

I agree. Followed by Snows in Lexington.

me too man.
if i live long enough i'll get there. i like to travel arkansas and even have to admit the razorback fans i know are great folks. of course, i tread lightly in topics involving LSU just in case they're packin'.

this place in Marianna, Ark is possibly the oldest african-american owned restaurant in the south. it's also a great BBQ story if youve got a few minutes.

Jaspers in Waco is a black-owed BBQ place dates back to 1912 (I think...maybe 1917). But I don't think it is all that great.

The two teams may have played 50 times in the past but that doesn't mean it will become a rivalry. It will be just another conference game. People need to remember, LSU doesn't have a true rival anymore. It was Tulane at one time, but their program really declined in the 1980's. Schools from neighboring states will never be a true rival.

That is funny, some of the driest brisket and pork I've had was at Coopers.

Jort and jersey wearing Ohio State fans would like to have a discussion with you while you are wearing a Michigan hat.

BBQ in Houston is definitely sub par, which is strange because almost all other food offerings in the city are excellent. However, I have met very few people who would state the BBQ in Houston is good. Most that I know agree with me that we are hurting here.

Agreed, and it's my home town, so I stick up for it in every other regard even though I now reside in Austin.
Oh, and Gulf War: that's what we should call it.

Born, raised and live in Houston and the BBQ here just sucks considering where the city is located. Snow's is my place

I had some killer BBQ at a joint near/in Olive Branch, MS which is just across the line. There's much good BBQ in that area.
