KC- mostly beef with some pork, thick smokey sauce
Memphis- ribs and pork, not much sauce, generally a sweet smokey dry rub
Texas- beef, little to no sauce, tangy and smokey
Carolina- pork, the original, mustard and vinegar based

This thread doesn't seem right without a picture/food porn post.

All hail to the King of all foods, BBQ.




















Anyone hungry....

Please add NSFW to title.

One of the best bites of bbq I've ever had is the whole hog sandwich from Skylight Inn that has bits of cracklin mixed into it. That kind of bbq doesnt show up on any bbq survey or dictionary but it is damn good.

I've been to dozens of BBQ places in Alabama from Muscle Shoals to Mobile and I've never seen one with white sauce.

This is truly a regional thing, but also a regional requirement. EVERY BBQ restaurant in North Alabama features white bbq sauce on their menu, their meats, and their tables and North Alabamians eat it with everything from french fries to bread to chicken and ribs. This unique, tangy flavor is the perfect compliment to just about everything.

ETA: I ate at Saw's BBQ in Homewood/Birmingham and they offered it. Maybe it's just a Northern Alabama thing (as the link above indicates).

Cali- tri tip lightly sauced with a molasses based sauce.

Nothing better than eastern carolina style imo.

White BBQ sauce is my prefered sauce with smoked chicken parts. It is basically Canes sauce without the ketchup

It a north Alabama thing and it was made to be served with smoked chicken not pork. I would also only recommend Big Bobs everyone else's tastes to mayo based.

Had Big Bob's in Athens a few yrs ago, really thought the white sauce was pretty good. I enjoyed it on chicken more than ribs, though.

Quite possibly the dumbest post on all of TD today.

And that's saying a lot.
