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

Ribs and true BBQ: THe Joint in the Bywater in NOLA. This place is a step below the best places in Memphis/Texas I have been, but it is funky and very good.


First, one must wrap their heads around the fact that we have a different style of "BBQ"...in fact the two best BBQ sandwiches I have ever had have been in LA (I have been all over NC, SC, TX, TN, the Delta, Alabama and sampled all kinds of BBQ)....

Trust me and get these:

Cochon de Lait Po Boy: Walker's BBQ in NOLA East (same people as Jazzfest).

Pulled Pork Sandwich: Pig Stand in Ville Platte


Not the type of BBQ you are used to, but it is what LA specializes in...for my tastes in a better "BBQ" style pulled pork sandwich than anywhere else.
