BBQ is good for you!

[Karlifornia]

So, let's say your family is going to a barbeque joint. This ain't your grandaddy's BBQ place, though. This makes every dish in your absolute favorite way. Everything is cooked just the way you like, and has your favorite sauce (or lack or sauce), with all the fixins to go with it. You can only order one thing, though. The chef once cut off his thumb preparing a sampler platter and now refuses to do them anymore!


What'll ya have?

Easy, chef's thumb.

dola, or hobo, or possibly mobo

If it wasn't a BBQ joint I would go for the ribeye.

At a BBQ joint, I usually like to get some ham and slather it in bbq and hot sauces. Beef brisket will do in a pinch, though...

[Tigercat]

Baby back ribs in general, but to me the best BBQ plate is one that has plenty of variety.

[Lorena]

This poll is flawed, where's the mandatory trout option?

[Shkspr]

For that matter, where's the "everything" option?

[mmbogle55]

Beef Brisket, because it's the tiebreaker.You aren't going to be in business unless your chicken,links,sausage,various ribs are kick-butt. Beef brisket is where the cook can earn or lose extra points.....

Pulled pork, cornbread, baked potato, and corn on the cob are the ultimate BBQ dinner.


Any BBQ place that does not offer Cornbread should be forced to close down immediately. Always ask if they offer cornbread before going. If they don't offer cornbread, they are probably just another trendy rib place and don't know jack about good barbecue.


Please keep your trendy Babyback Ribs out of my BBQ Shacks. :)

*sigh* Can't you understand the chef disfigured himself because of people like you?:mad:

This is pretty much right on...though I may substitute fries from the baked potato. Cornbread is a must though.

Whats the consensus on Hoggys ?

[st.cronin]

I agree, pulled pork is the only right answer to this question.

[cartman]

My answer is: Whatever BBQ is put in front of me.

If it used to moo, oink, or cluck before it was put over the fire, it's all good in my book

[miked]

Pulled pork at Fat Matt's.

[MJ4H]

This question was easy.

[JonInMiddleGA]

I went pulled pork, but only because of the "just the way I like it" provision.

The best pulled pork does beat the best sliced pork, but I usually have better luck being satisfied in the average place with sliced.

[Wolfpack]

Pulled pork and only one way it should ever be done: eastern North Carolina style. None of that tomato-based junk from Lexington and definitely none of the mustard stuff from Souf Cackalacky.

[cuervo72]

Is eastern NC style the mayo/vinegar white sauce? If so, I'm down with that.

(hmm, and I've been looking for something to make in my new crock pot - I exploded the last one - that might be it)

Workman's comp. Besides, what's this sampler shit? A plate of each is more like it.

I went brisket, but if everything is actually prepared the way I like it, I more likely going for a plate of more than a few of them myself. I always can take some home and eat tomorrow.

Sorry, Charlie. The absence of burnt ends reveals that the creator of the poll is a barbecue amateur. If you haven't had burnt ends, you haven't had barbecue. You only think you have.

Burnt ends are flavorful pieces of meat cut from the ends of a smoked brisket. A traditional part of Kansas City Barbecue, burnt ends are considered a delicacy in barbecue cooking. They are traditionally a leftover result of smoked beef or pork brisket, but can also be made by returning pieces of the brisket to the smoker for further cooking. Burnt ends can be served alone (usually smothered in barbecue sauce) or in sandwiches, as well as in a variety of other dishes, including baked beans and gumbo.

Ok, picky patty. Vote under brisket and everyone will know that simple brisket is not good enough for you, Sir Fauntleroy of the Barbeque. Personally, I feed burnt ends to the dogs ;)

Burnt ends are overrated. They are good, especially if you are really craving something with a very full smokey taste, but they aren't something most people will want eat on anything close regular basis. Good pork and a good full brisket? I could eat that almost every day in a week.

I love burnt ends from Jack Stack in KC!!!
