Where is the best BBQ Rib joint around the state

Spare Ribs is my fav!

you like these better than baby backs? just wondering because every time i try them i feel like its too much work/fat/gristle to be worth it.

Big Mike's Smokehouse in Houma is pretty damn good. I don't recall their ribs being the greatest but overall it's solid. Brisket is very good and I usually HATE brisket.

The best BBQ in Louisiana is cooked at people's homes. This is just not a state where people go OUT to eat for BBQ. As a result you dont have a ton of BBQ joints. As a whole LA cooks great BBQ that is just as good as any other state. However most of us just cook it at home on the weekends.

I just know I grew up learned from my family and have always heard how great BBQ is in other states and then ventured out to those places and come back routinely disappointed because its just as good what I learned to cook at home.

I actually find Louisiana is a well rounded BBQ state. Many people here cook both the Beef BBQ lines from Texas and the Pork lines from the rest of the south. There is no hard line that people have to follow here. But you wont find any of this in a restaurant. Louisiana is a very social state. BBQ is more reserved for get togethers than a place to eat out. Of course there are still people that have no idea what they are doing but I would guess you will find this in many states.

Podnuh's ribs that I had the other day were awesome as was the bbq chicken that I had recently at TJ Ribs.

I just can't see where the bbq in Texas or any other state would be any better.

Never heard of a difference in this.. Only between grilling and smoking. Im guessing you are referring to this with adding sauce to the grilled food. My preference is smoked BBQ though.. Low and Slow all day long.

Of course some things you want to grill instead of smoke too such as pork steak.
