The best BBQ is arguably not in the South. At least not the Deep South. Best BBQ is found in either Missouri or North Carolina. All the other states are pretenders.

You can't rank barbeque without including Memphis somewhere very near the top.

Literally just go to Dickie’s

This is dumb.

Whenever I crave a mouthful of hot meat, I just go to Dickie’s!

Sacred Ground BBQ in Pocahontas is pretty damn special.

Is that the same as Dickeys?

Go to the Rendezvous in Memphis, end the BBQ discussion. Plus there is a Miss America Pageant in the lobby of the Peabody almost every night.

That was fun.

Number 1 on his list is in Austin.

So I guess BBQ will now become a test of political loyalty.

Murky Waters or Stricks in Hattiesburg

North Carolina ???

Pouring vinegar or two jars of Kroger mustard over a pork butt ain't BBQ.

Selma, Alabama, Hancocks, great !!

Pig n’ Pint hard to beat!

BBQ does not equal SMOKING!

Smoking meat is a technique thousands of years old and is practiced from China to Charleston.

BBQ is indigenous to the Americans and was first recorded in the 15th century by Gonzalo Fernández De Oviedo y Valdés when Columbus encounter the indigenous Taino (who called the process barbecoa) roasting meat on latticework over fire.

I don’t want to be a snob but Dickeys, while OK, is nowhere near the best

1970 ... "Ossies " at Deville Plaza, I-55 North.

1973 through 1976 ... "Coleman's" way up North State (not far from the original WZZQ).

And the very best was back in 1987 ... "The Pyramid BBQ" on Robinson, about three blocks southwest of the old Masonic/Shrine temple on West Capitol Street.

I lived and/or worked in Texas for 20 years and I agree with Mitchell - Texas-style smoked brisket is the pinnacle of BBQ. If you've never had good Texas-style smoked brisket, you owe it to yourself and those you love to go get you some. Worth the trip. I have not eaten at any of the spots Mitchell put in his vid, but I am sure they are good. Also strongly recommend Franklin BBQ in Austin, The Pit Room in Houston or Killen's BBQ in Pearland (Houston area). All amazing.

10:37, I’ll add the Salt Lick in Driftwood, a little west of Austin.

"Texas-style smoked brisket is the pinnacle of BBQ"

Not really.

Ohio State smoked some Texas butt and brisket Saturday ... better than any Texan.

BBQ is very hard to do right consistently. The guys at Pig and Pint have done excellent food and service in an area that wasn’t prime when they started. Hats off to them and congrats on expanding their brand into Madison. That’s dedication and talent.

Once upon a time, the Redezvous was legendary. Not any more, and is surviving on what's left of those memories.

The world's largest BBQ contest is held in Memphis for a reason. Anything in Memphis beats that white BBQ sauce any day.

Whoever thinks rendezvous is good can’t be trusted with a sharp pencil. It’s mid at best, central is easily better. Locally sacred ground and pig n pint are really good. Regionally, Texas and the Carolina’s stand out for the distinctive style. Kansas City not mentioned, but should be.

Born and raised in Macon, GA. All three locations he mentioned are fine in their own way, each a little different but delicious. Texas brisket is in another class when done right. It ain’t pig but it’s good. Locally I would suggest you try Kenova Smokehouse on Lakeland Drive. They can put the scald on some eats.

Central City is some good que.

I agree the Pig and Pint is the best barbecue and the friendly service is why I keep going back.
Didn’t know they were coming to Madison. When and where? Good decision!

If Any yall travel west on I20 there's a Bar B Q place @ Van Texas behind the Love's truck stop called Soulman's Bar B Q...Good Eatin There Folks..."Ring The Bell If We Done Well"

Why Does Matt & Friends on his Videos Sound Like a Buncha Yankees???

Vinegar based NC BBQ should be considered a hate crime.
