Mutton and Burgoo go back to america before independence and Mutton was an early favorite to BBQ because of the nature of BBQ.
Any story of the origin of barbecue starts with a meat that is too tough and undesirable to be sold for a profit. Mutton barbecue is no different. Aging sheep who no longer produced good wool became a virtually unlimited resource, but the meat was too tough and too strong tasting to be worth anything so people turned to the tried and true methods of low and slow cooking. In the early days a whole sheep would be cooked for long hours over a low fire. A mixture of salt water would be mopped over it and it would be served up with a dipping sauce of vinegar and hot peppers and stuck between a couple slices of bread. In Kentucky this "sauce" is called a dip, specifically Mutton Dip or Vinegar Dip.

there's some new place in Southaven that's supposed to be pretty good, according to a couple of my buddies at least. Can't remember the name

It goes against popular thinking, but I hate Central
For the Ole Miss game last year, we picked up a bunch of Central carryout for our tailgate. It wasn't that impressive, but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt until I eat their BBQ in-house.

He's passed on the hookup.
Let me know if you're ever in town. I live right around the corner from Rendezvous.
Also, the place in Southaven is really good, but I can't remember the name of it.

Memphis BBQ Company? That place is really good.

That's it. They even make their own pork rinds.

Never been to Corky's, but Jim & Nick's is pretty good for restaurant BBQ.
Best dry ribs I ever had were from "The BBQ Shop" in Memphis, known for the dancing pigs sign.
And not all Texans cook briskets. We cook a lot of hog in East TX. But the best BBQ period is a little place called "Fargo's" in Bryan, a few miles up the road from College Station.

nah, think i found the name of the place i was talking about. I think it's Boss Hog. Apparently, Memphis BBQ Co. now has a location in the Atlanta area, where I currently live. Might have to check it out.

I could eat about 20 of those things. They are ridiculous.

Apparently "Franklin's" in Austin is the end all, be all; but the line is around the block an hour before they open. Ain't nobody got time for that.

First, no metropolitan area in this country has better barbecue than Kansas City. There are more than 100 barbecue restaurants in the area; the entire region is dripping in barbecue culture.
Anthony Bourdain put KC Joe's (Formerly Oklahoma Joe's) on his list of 13 places to eat before you die. Those of you who venture beyond the Golden Corral might recognize a couple of other restaurants on his list: Le Bernadin and The French Laundry. Bourdain said of Joe's barbecue: "It's the best barbecue in Kansas City, which makes it the best barbecue in the world."
The second best barbecue in SEC-land? Unquestionably the one-two punch offered up in the Tuscaloosa area by Dreamland and Archibald's.
FYI, I have eaten barbecue in each of the SEC states.

Blasphemy.
I was recently introduced to Texas BBQ though and it is fantastic. I guess I had never had really good brisket until a few years ago because I never really was a fan of it. My buddy's dad though came into town for the Egg Bowl in 2012 though and made the best brisket I've ever eaten.

Unrelated, but I finally had Doe's on Saturday. Holy frick it's good.
