BBQ is a modern day American peasant food. Ultra high quality ingredients will not result in a higher quality product. It is all about simple ingredients, time , and technique.

Best BBQ I've ever had was from a food truck, so probably not.

Their is a place in Dallas called Smoke that borders on upscale. They still embrace the "hominess" thing but the chef comes from a fine dining background and so things are more "chefy". That and some good ol' Dallas pretentiousness go a long way towards upscale.

lol was coming here to post this. its a really good place, I like going when work pays
its not upscale but the new trend is "hill country tx bbq style" and its very $$$. its where they just weight the meat and you pick it out from the pit and that shits expensive.
its damn good but it averages $20-$25 a person with sides and a drink

Jack Stack in Overland Park, KS is fairly upscale. I mean, it's not like Jean-Georges or anything, but it's nice. Food is quality, though it's not the best Q in KC, imo.

I feel like bbq is bbq and there ain't much to it. What would make it more upscale are the things that go with it. Sides and drinks and whatnot.

That's what puts it over the edge, depending on the vintage.

I was going to say this as well. Really nice place in downtown Austin. Had an amazing meal there this past summer. Sat at the bar. Bartenders made us a bunch of good cocktails and the kitchen just sent us out different plates of stuff.

Sounds like a gimmick to charge people a lot of money for inexpensive food.
I like my BBQ sloppy and smoked in a 60 year old smoker that is full of grease and grit and fat drippings.
