Pappa's Barbecue here in Houston is very very very good.   Loaded baked potatoes with meat are to die for.

I don't get out much.

Try brisket. Wrap it up in foil with some chopped onions, carrots and potatoes and put it in a pan for hours....

aaaaaaawwwwwwwwmmmmmmmmmmm mmm

Or go to the corner of Carl and Grauwyler in Irving TX, the Mexican meat market there and get some seasoned "beef" fajitas. Just grill them... umm.. very very good.... Just don't ask too many details about the "beef" okay?

Chopped pork North Carolina style is my favorite.

When I feel like ribs and I'm in the area I like Dreamland in Tuscaloosa or Birmingham.

Sometimes famous places are dissapointing, but Corky's in Memphis had good ribs as well. Well worth the hype.

THAT'S NOT "BBQ" !!! The best BBQ I ever had was from a trailer located at the intersection of Hwy 82 and I-35. That was many years ago (circa 1980). That intersection has grown as has Gainesville, TX. Any more, I have to make my own BBQ because the other places just can't make it as well as I can. With my smoker, I can cook up some pretty tasty brisket.

The best BBQ around here comes from a couple of trailers that set up in the corners of parking lots.  Both use what look like 50 gal. drums that have been cut in half to smoke the meat.

Brisket. I love brisket. My dad use to cook them in the oven for hours and hours, it was torture. Had to get those big briskets with the fat, the fat is important. If you cook it just right, even the fat will taste good. Hopefully connected to meat of course.

The smoked prime rib at Cooper's in Llano is also very good.

Jack Stack is good.......upscale......and you are correct the cheesy corn bake is great, as are their baked beans.  But for "down home" BBQ, Arthur Bryant's is the place to go.....it is far from fancy, and the neighborhood is so bad that they actually have an armed guard patrolling the parking lot, but their ribs and "burnt ends" are to die for......

Like Thor, I love mine. I use a modified version of Bubbas Bunch rub on Baby Back Ribs. They then get mopped with Jack Daniels, Bullseye, or KC Masterpiece with some rub mixed in.
The only restaurant I just coulden't beat was a place in Castroville Ca. called Bings Diner. "I'm Die!" ribs.  :drool:

Okay, I'll go with that.  I liked both of them (having only been to KC twice) and some others.  Wreaked pure havoc on my blood sugar and cholesterol, but if ya gotta go....

That being said, since I can't just hop on a plane and get that, I make my own ribs.  Dry rub, slow roasted, then wet sauce for the last 40 minutes or so.  More of a Carolina type sauce (sweet/hot) but damned if I don't make my co-workers jealous when I have them at lunch--and it doesn't matter what kind of ribs I use, the slow roasting guarantees there won't be any meat whatsoever left on those bones.

If you are ever in the OKC metro, this place has the best brisket in the city (outside of my backyard). Even though, they took corn and fried pickles off the menu...bastards.

Looks good. I do prefer to make my own (the "Bunch" rub) rather than buy it outright. That way I can adjust the paprika, sugars, or the oregano, which can drastically change the final product. It's amazing just how much oregano can change the rub.
