Love me some Memphis dry rub ribs - ala "Rendezvous."
I remember the first time. I had never heard of "dry rub." And being an unenlightened person who thought all BBQ was doused in sauce, it sounded very strange to me, and it didn't sound good!
And then I tried it. Oh, baby! That's some good stuff!
I agree that good BBQ doesn't need sauce. But, depending on the sauce, adding a bit can enhance the meal. I like mine on the spicy side.
Texas does some great brisket, but they do some damn fine pork ribs.
I've had BBQ in just about every state in the Country, but if you want the best, it's in Texas.
The best of the best, IMHO is Coopers BBQ in Junction, TX. They've got the best falling off the bone ribs, and damn fine pork chops. If you get there early enough, before it's all gone, you can get some mouthwatering Cabrito.
I agree, but I've tried "BBQ" in many places in the Southeast, including Memphis and if it didn't have sauce on it, it was just bland meat.
The sauce can add some great flavor but it can also hide a poor cooking job. I’m not a huge fan of vinegar based BBQ sauces but I do like vinegar if that makes sense. Some of the east coast stuff is just nasty in my opinion but some people grew up eating it so they are either used to it or don’t know any better. Either way, it’s not for me.
I don't even know what "east coast" BBQ is. Never heard of it.
I've had plenty of Texas BBQ. I much prefer Memphis. Mind you... it's ALL good to me. But preference... Memphis wins hands-down.
My Texas friends think pork BBQ is silly. It's all beef for them.
OK... maybe we should start a "Best Mexican Food" thread! LOL! I like me some Tex-Mex! I was a waiter at the best Tex-Mex restaurant in Memphis for 3 years.
Had some Tex-Mex last night for dinner. Not much good Tex-Mex around here. But a couple of places are decent.
East coast BBQ is a sharp, tart, and spicy mixture primarily made of apple cider or white vinegar, cayenne, crushed red pepper, and black pepper. It has zero tomato or ketchup content.

Food is not Florida’s strong suit. It’s really the only disappointment I have since moving here.
Many people here are from the northeast. And as my brother who lives there says... "You know you're in Massachusetts when you hear someone say, 'Man, this ketchup is spicy!'"
So, most food in Florida is made very bland.
Lots of Cajun and Texas transplants in the Florida panhandle as well from other areas that like spices so the entire state does not have the same variety of food.
We have some pretty good Mexican food here in Colorado, but I've found the best Mexican food in Kansas and Nebraska, of all places. Mostly in towns with meat packing plants.
I will say though, that the best Green Chiles in the world are grown right here in Pueblo, Colorado.
That's right down the road from Rocky Ford, where the best melons in the world are grown.

I’ll amend my statement. The food sucks on the east coast of Florida. I’m 4 miles from the ocean and even the seafood isn’t very good. It’s fresh but nobody seems to know how to prepare it. It’s either deep fried, smothered in Old Bay or overcooked. I’ve only found one Mexican joint that’s okay at best. Don’t get me started on what some of these places dare call pizza.

When I was in Colorado, I was surprised and blown away by the quality and quantity of Mexican restaurants there. Some of the best I've ever had. All in Colorado Springs / Monument area (where my son played hockey).
Well, any Libtard will tell that it's not surprising, since Colorado was stolen from Mexico.

I loved the Mexican food in the Albuquerque area when I was there for a week on an interview for Intel in the early '80s
Hatch chiles are ok, for people who don't like spicy food.
Pueblo Chiles are for the rest of us.

Man in hospice is told by doctor he has 42-72 hours to live.
Tells daughter he wants a Big Lee's pulled pork sandwich before he croaks.
It seems this guy is giving the TN, TX, NC, BBQ places a run for their money.
Watch the vids. Peeps are driving from out of state for it. Crazy.
