re: Where is the best BBQ Rib joint around the state

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.
