This is basically a topic asking where people are from, its pretty rare that you find someone defending the BBQ of a different region.
I love Oklahoma Joe's in KCK and use their Night of the Living Barbeque Sauce all the time. Good flavor with a spicy kick.

The only stuff I don't really care for is the mustard based sauces. Just haven't liked them in the past. I'll eat just about any bbq meat or whatever though.

Good place.

I travel a ton for work. I've had NC, Memphis, Texas, KC, SC, etc. To me it's apples and oranges. KC and Texas are mostly beef BBQ. The others are pork. For pork BBQ, imho, it's NC and then everything else is a distant 2nd.
And B's BBQ in Greenville, NC is probably the best I've had in NC.

Grew up in middle Ga. on White Diamond BBQ, which was a white cinder block shack. They had a mustard based bbq which was pretty good, but they're Brunswick Stew was amazing. Thing about Ga. is there are many styles, so lot's to choose from. I live in Boulder now and have two good choices. Moe's BBQ are a bunch of Alabama boys who are starting to build a nice little pig empire and Georgia Boy's BBQ in Longmont is fricking awesome. They teamed up with a guy from Baton Rouge who runs the kitchen so they have some good Cajun specials thrown in. Food is awesome, music is awesome, sweet tea is awesome, and they have Mexican Coke with real sugar. They also have all the sauces; mustard, vinegar mop sauce, sweet tomato based, and a ghost pepper sweet sauce that is incredible. Their burnt ends are great, but pork is bbq. Sorry Texans.
Also, when you're talking about NC bbq, you have two styles, eastern and western. Eastern is whole hog with vinegar based sauce. Western is shoulder with a tomato based sauce. SC is the mustard based region.

I Hate the vinegar based BBQ

All I know is that beef BBQ is a million times better, and no one does it correctly in Dixie. Had a friend smoke a brisket yesterday that was so damn good I fell in to a food coma.

Beef has it's place and I wouldn't turn down any, but brisket is near the bottom of BBQ. Gimme pork and chicken over brisket any day.

This isn't a bad opinion to have, I just know that over the years, venturing many BBQ joints in the Greatest State in the Union, and to many lesser states in Dixie, that brisket is no where close to near the bottom. You might like chicken and pork better, and I can't fault your for that, but you need to expand your pallet.

For my Georgia boys, ATL has a place called Big Shanty's. UNBELIEVABLE. It's better than Lil Dooeys and that's saying something.
