Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Southside Market Sausage

Yazoo's here in Denver, home of the Bob. Jalepeno stuffed, bacon wrapped chunks of chicken breast on a skewer. Nice rub over and smoked for 3-4 hours. Little hot link on the side and you are set.

Fatty Beltbuckle's in Rocky Point, NY. They have been going through some tough legal personal troubles but I hope they pull through.

eastcoastvb at 3:34PM on 12/19/08

of course North Carolina has the best barbecue there is...preferably from Allen & Sons in Chapel Hill or Bullock's in Durham. And you've gotta have some slaw and brunswick stew with it!

katief at 3:35PM on 12/19/08

There's this tiny little hole in the wall down in the boonies of Thomaston, Georgia, called "Piggy Park". They do a mean BBQ and Brunswick Stew.

okay, this is extremely low-brow, but I love Arby's Roast Beef sandwiches with their Arby's BBQ sauce. After that Portillo's is pretty good....

emilywalker at 3:38PM on 12/19/08

I love the Dinosaur BBQ in NYC. The only BBQ joint in NY to serve Southside Market's Elgin sausages. Hill Country serves Kreutz Market sausages and those are very different from Southside Elgin, TX sausages because they are hotter & more cereal like. Also, Dinosaur is the most consistant BBQ joint around. I love Tony Verdugo's Rendvous for Ribs or Mike Mills Championship for Ribs over any, I love Sonny Bryan's or The Salt Lick for brisket & for pulled pork I just think that North Carolina pig is might tasty. Overall, the Dinosaur has great sides, starters and a great beer list at the fairest prices.

...the salt lick. AWESOME!

and i can't believe someone else actually knows urban bbq in md, it's down the street from my parents house and i love that place too.

sarahlucy at 3:47PM on 12/19/08

I don't know of any good places where I live, so I'll have to recommend my Uncle George's house!

squidlette at 3:47PM on 12/19/08

I have to say Kreuz Market in Lockhart, Texas, if I want rubbed pork ribs and great jalapeno sausage. Southside Market and Salt Lick are tied for regular sausages. And if I ever want brisket, I know of only one place that I go, and that's home.

Blue Ribbon BBQ in Arlington MA (also West Newton MA). In addition to having excellent (for the Northeast) real BBQ (IMHO better than Redbones), you can't beat the Feedbag for 4 takeout combo for value and deliciousness.

youthlarge at 5:49PM on 12/19/08

The question should be the best joint for what KIND of barbecue?

For North Carolina style (vinegar sauce) pulled pork, Bullock's in Durham, with a side of deviled crab, thank you.

For Texas style (red sauce) sliced beef, Jerry Neel's in Fort Smith, Arkansas and follow with any blackberry dessert in season.

For pork ribs (rubbed, your choice of six sauces on the side), Super Smoker's in Eureka, Missouri.

For traditional style chopped pork (red sauce on the side), Wilson's in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Their motto: "Need no teef to eat our beef, need no fork to eat our pork." Excellent!

For burnt ends (smothered in sauce, with fries, on butcher paper), Arthur Bryant's, of course.

For chicken, the smoked chicken (no sauce required or wanted) at Donahue's in Fenton, Missouri. I hear it is no longer served, but I have the recipe stashed away!!!!

For lamb (with fancy sauce on the side), Jack Stack in Kansas City, Missouri.

For sausage (no, sauce, and because you raised the subject), 17th Street Bar and Grill, with multiple southern Illinois locations to serve you. To be eaten immediately after the BBQ potato skins and before the banana pudding parfait.

Mizbee at 5:51PM on 12/19/08

We have no good BBQ joints up in Northern MN, closest you will get is Famous Daves and that is not very good most of the time. I envy all of you who have great BBQ places nearby, you're lucky!

JoshD at 7:00PM on 12/19/08

Gotta say it's my dad's kitchen...super slow-roasted, low-temp beef shoulder with a metric ton of onions and his own sauce added once all th beef's been forked apart. It's my standard.

kimonkey7 at 7:02PM on 12/19/08

The Red Rabbit, a small drive-through place in central PA. The barbecue probably isn't world-class, and it's the vinegar-based kind, but memory's a fairly good sauce.

Dinosaur BBQ in New York City. Just the coolest place with the best ribs and burgers. But the thing that really makes my mouth water is their potato salad. It the kind of thing I'd like to order by the gallon but it only comes in pints and quarts. Rockland BBQ in Washington, D.C. isn't too bad either.

My smoker filled with dry rubbed ribs and butts and many hours of thin blue smoke. There's no real good BBQ around NE Ohio that I have found yet.

slvance at 8:40AM on 12/20/08

I've been to Southside in Elgin and it's pretty good. My favorites are Coopers (in Llano) and the place that unfortunately closed in Bartrum. But for just everyday Bar-B-Q eatin' there was nothing better than the Sonny's Bar-B-Q restaurants in the SE states. My favorites of those were the ones in Brunswick and a little town to the south of there along the interstate as well as the one in Gainesville that we always stopped at on the way back from Cresent Beach picking up a couple pounds of ribs and a quart of THE BEST backed beans in the world. If I win the 10 lbs. I will enjoy them with my family.

Throw my vote in for Fiorello's in KC as well - every time I walk in, I'm glad my doctor has a higher LDL than I do and can't say a darn thing.

If I don't feel like driving four hours, the Hickory Hut here in Salina does solid work; especially for a building roughly the size of a shipping container.

After having HH and Famous Dave's the same day*, I have lost my taste for the chain barbecue - it's just missing the love.

I actually just tried my favorite BBQ joint this past thursday for the first time. It is called Bull's Pit Smoked BBQ. A co-worker of mine heated up some leftovers from there early in the week and it smelled so incredible that I had to go try it. It tastes just as good as it smells and I will be going back soon.

I'm in Northern California, where the BBQ tends to be a little bit less-than, but I've got to go with local legend Uncle Frank's in Mountain View. Great Louisiana-style BBQ, with some serious bark on that brisket.

My Aunt Emmy's house! I'm not a huge fan of BBQ, but when she breaks out the grill and starts making ribs, I end up with a mountain of bones on my plate and no recollection of having eaten an entire cow.

lorelei76 at 10:40AM on 12/20/08

The only good BBQ in my area is the pig roast at a local church...someone's relative from Memphis comes up with his home-made roaster on a trailer and they do some real down-home cooking.

My favorite all-time BBQ joint was some hole-in-the-wall dive off the beaten path in Memphis. It didn't have a name. If you're in Memphis, ask at your hotel for a BBQ place the local blue collar folks like to go to. You'll get directions there.

There's a tiny town nickednamed "The BBQ City of the USA" called Lockhart, TX. In that BBQ heaven is a joint called Kreuz Market, where they serve the most mouth-watering BBQ ribs, sausage, brisket and
pork chops!! They use big pieces of secret spices and BBQ them in
giant brick ovens, and they have been doing this since 1900!!! We have since moved from TX to CO, so every Christmas our family that still
lives in TX sends us the most special care package from Kreuz Market!!
Thank you for the contest!

Bob Sikes Barbeque in Bessemer AL is the absolute best, I go everytime I am up there visiting my family. While at home here in Panama City FL, I go to Smitty's Barbeque, they come in at a close 2nd. Also, all three of my grown sons can do a mean rack of ribs:)

jhopkins at 11:56AM on 12/20/08

Since we're not in the South, the best local place is Jack's Firehouse in Philly.

pancak at 11:57AM on 12/20/08

I've travelled the south and can spot good barbecue but I am, by birth, a "northwestern yankee". Yes it's possible to get good 'que in Seattle. Two spots come to mind; Pecos Pit in the Sodo district and the OK Corral in Greenwood and West Seattle. Of the three, I find the Greenwood offering suits me best.
