Re: OT: BBQ tour
I gather that (Non-Memphis) Tennessee BBQ (i.e. pulled pork, vinegar-based sauce) is similar to Carolina BBQ, but I've never been to the Carolinas. If you are in or around Nashville, Whitt's has several locations. East of Nashville, there are several Burr's restaurants, I've visited this one: Burrs Old Fashioned BBQ (615) 758-5499 2736 E Division St, Mt Juliet, TN http://local.yahoo.com/details?id=24505887 <http://local.yahoo.com/details?id=24505887&lsrc=results&p=Barbecue+Restaura nts&csz=Lebanon%2C+TN> &lsrc=results&p=Barbecue+Restaurants&csz=Lebanon%2C+TN I think there are one or two other Burr's. In Austin, TX, Phil already mentioned the places in nearby Lockhart, but in Austin itself I always liked the following: Sam's Barbecue http://www.austinchronicle.com/gyrobase/Guides/Location?oid=oid:45854 Ruby's (a bit non-traditional, but very good: I loved the chopped beef) http://rubysbbq.com/ Stubb's in downtown Austin isn't the best, but I am obligated to mention it, because the waitress called me "honey" and always gave me free cobbler or banana pudding every time.

Re: OT: BBQ tour
Rick,
I'm a native of Goldsboro, NC (not too far from Wilson) and can recommend
Parker's as well. Like David says, pork IS the only real BBQ.
You could also travel the 20 or so miles to Goldsboro and try Wilbur's BBQ
on Highway 70 near Seymour Johnson AFB. Keep a look out for low-flying
planes since it's not too far from the end of the runway!
Congrats to your son!

Re: OT: BBQ tour
Hey Rick, I don't know how you plan to get down south, but if you pass thorough Arizona you'll want to try Joe's Real BBQ (http://www.joesrealbbq.com/). This place has been on many of the cooking channels nationally. If you are going south down the coast through California then you'll want to pass through Santa Maria where they have some of the best BBQ in the west. I was co-owner of a restaurant in Long Beach that served Santa Maria style BBQ and it was extremely popular. Santa Maria is known for BBQ using rubs rather than sauces, although they have sauces too. They also have unique BBQ beans that you can only find there. I hope you both have a great trip!

Re: OT: BBQ tour
Yeah, I know that opinions can get kinda heated if people insist that there's only ONE kind of PERFECT BBQ. That's why I'm taking the view that cooked meat on my plate is rarely bad. I'm looking to try the best from everywhere, and enjoy it all, especially the people we meet along the way. We'll be taking some pics and video along the way, too, for posterity. Thanks to all who've contributed so far. I look forward to more, too!

Re: OT: BBQ tour
Rick, Congrats to your son and you too! And what a great idea! Ever watch "Feasting on Asphalt" on Food Network? Lots of Chicagoans prefer Russell's Barbeque - they've been here since dirt was invented and have a several locations. But if you want to hit the road over the 4th of July weekend there's a shindig called Ribfest Naperville which attracts resturants from all over the midwest (which apparently stretches to include Famous Dave's and several Texans). Bobby Flay's been here, Alton Brown too. Check www.ribfest.net. Fireworks, secret sauces, music. And don't forget to buy one of the Ribfest electric snorting pig keyfob flashlights! Doug ..

Re: OT: BBQ tour
If you are going to be near San Antonio skip the Alamo and go to Rudy's "The Worst BBQ in Texas!" (but don't believe them). http://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g60956-d470043-Reviews-Rudy_s_Barbecue-San_Antonio_Texas.html I have eaten there several times and it is great and you can't get more authentic. -scott On Friday, June 13, 2008, at 12:35PM, "Rick Cook" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >I have seen multiple Food Network specials and shows about BBQ - that's >kinda how I got the idea.

Re: OT: BBQ tour
I have seen multiple Food Network specials and shows about BBQ - that's kinda how I got the idea. Well, that, and that we both love BBQ. My son's been able to keep up with my rib appetite since he was 10. I'm looking for places that the Food Network may have never heard of, but that you have. I don't care what kind of Q it is - if it's grilled or smoked, pork or beef, wet or dry. If it's real good, I want to try it.

Re: OT: BBQ tour
I don't have any specific spots in mind, but Food Network has had specials on BBQ places around the country. You might try their web site to do some research. --Original Message-- From: Rick Cook To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG ReplyTo: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Sent: Jun 13, 2008 11:46 Subject: OT: BBQ tour ** My son just graduated from HS, and will leave for the Marines in October.

OT: BBQ tour
My son just graduated from HS, and will leave for the Marines in October. Sometime between now and then, he and I are going to drive cross-country on a BBQ tour. We'll start and end in Seattle, but we intend to hit all of the areas of the country famous for BBQ: Texas, Louisiana, the rest of the South, North Carolina, Memphis, Chicago, and Kansas City. We're still planning the specifics, and here's where all y'all come in: I would love to know THE places to go in your part of the country (assuming it's one I mentioned above - this will be almost entirely SOUTH of the Mason-Dixon line) for outstanding BBQ, whether they're famous or a hole-in-the-wall. We'll stay away from big chains for the most part (we have Famous Dave's up here), unless it is a local/regional one with a good local reputation. Thanks in advance for sharing!
