In what sense?

NC BBQ (meat prep etc.) beats the rest, but their BBQ sauce is meh.

    If their meat prep was worth a shit they wouldn’t need sauce anyway.

    I've always heard this from inferior BBQ styles.

    NC has a "whole hog" style, but the sauces are the real difference.

    Eastern NC is vinegar and peppers. Western NC is vinegar and peppers and ketchup. South Carolina is vinegar and peppers and mustard.

    You see the difference? That's why NC has an official Eastern and Western style whole hog bbq.

    I mean if you like the taste of bbq sauce that’s fine but the sauce tastes the same whether or not you put in the work on the meat. A good sauce can add to good bbq meat but it shouldn’t be the only reason your meat tastes good.

    The problem is the vinegar. That's not BBQ sauce, it's salad dressing.

    My guy, you need to learn more about cooking.

    Acids have a brightness that is excellent to cut fats. That's how you make a salad dressing (fat, acid, emulsifier, flavor)

    The BBQ is fatty pig. The sauce is acid and flavor. That's just balancing flavors.

    You do usually mop with acid, but it's not a problem to add some fresh. That's the same as squeezing a lime on a taco or a lemon on an oyster.

    We don't use "sauce". It's just vinegar and peppers. Western NC has red slaw. That's the only difference.

    Texas isn't even BBQ, it's the wrong animal. But we aren't ready for that talk.

    You just invalidated any opinion you may have on bbq.

    Just because white trash hillbilles from SC to Tennessee couldn't afford to bbq beef, they think bbq can only be pig.

    You could have said, "Traditionally, we consider that bbq just means pork.", but to truly gatekeep the meat!?

    That's some ignorant shit right there. That's the kind of mentality that would still have us eating boiled potates with no salt. Just because some peckerwood grandpa Jeb only bbq'd pork (because that's all he had), is the dumbest reason to say you can only bbq pork.

    This is an even dumber stance than the beans/no beans in chili arguments.

    Of course the pig farmer wants BBQ to be pork, and beef farmer wants BBQ to be beef, and the chicken farmer wants BBQ to be chicken.

    They don't make the rules, they just raise the BBQ. We'll smoke whatever we want.
