Ah this is the correct answer

I didn't like it when I first moved there, but it grew on me. Now, I love it.

Texas.

If you need sauce to cover the meat, you did it wrong.

I don't disagree.

In this context that would be called grilling. BBQ is also a term that is used, but not when you talk about Texas, Kansas, and NC. We have that too. You wouldn't cook a ribeye this way. It's just different in this convo.

Fried chicken is also relevant here, and the Korean KFC and KBBQ are foods that deserve lots of respect IMO.

Who am I kidding? I just like good food.

NC is really a pretty liberal and educated state, and continued urban population growth is likely to continue the trend.

It's just got a lot of rural areas and the GOP locked them down during the 90s

Don't hold your breath. Corporate-Dems think they won and this is a clear sign that poor people want neoliberalism and elitist "progressiveisms".

Those people will not appreciate being called a liberal

What do these people have against liberty? Don’t they like freedom?

I am upset at your description of Kansas City style but cannot disagree.

North Carolinian here. Me and you need to have a talk out back.

I've been to a few places, including local favorites. It's not that stellar, even aside from the sauce.

They’d win in a taco contest

Honestly agree, I like a kc based sauce (I prefer to make it spicy) but then I'll put it on some delicious BBQ from anywhere lol. Brisket? Spicy kc based sauce, pulled pork? Spicy kc based sauce... chicken? See above lol.

Kansas side or Missouri side?

This is the answer.

@prettybunnys Austin has better BBQ than Houston

I agree with you on the brisket. I like it best as pastrami.

Mustard is SC. Still good, but not traditional NC.

Hey, I'm from Kansas!

...Texas wins this debate hands down lmao

I'll take your vinegar BBQ sauce, if you don't want it

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

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.

Even though humans have been doing bbq and eating cows long before Texas existed or cows arrived in North America?

Texas and Kansas think BBQ sauce should be basically ketchup, but with even more sugar. North Carolina has great sauce with vinegar and spice. South Carolina's is also great with the mustard-based sauce.

It's pretty much vinegar with some spices. Years ago when I moved to NC, ordered BBQ pulled pork at a little hole in the wall place. Not what I expected. The pork itself was delicious but they poured that vinegar over the plate and essentially ruined it. I still get BBQ here, but order a side of rib sauce. That vinegar stuff is garbage.

It's not fucking bbq. It's slow cooker casserole bullshit!

And they eat their chili, poured over a cinnamon roll...

There is something fundamentally wrong with that state.

@Garfunkel @chandlerbung as a leftist, these guys are liberal capitalists
