VIRGILS on 44th STREET, bar none.

Best ribs in town, dry (not drenched in sauce to cover poorer quality meat), tasty, meaty, plain good and consistently so.

Wine TV

I really like Simply Wine with Andrea Immer, though I wish it were on a channel more accessible like Food Network instead of Fine Living. Other than that, one of the few television chefs that consistently mentions food and wine pairing is Ming Tsai, who I applaud for moving to PBS but am sad because my local affiliate doesn't carry his new show.

Thanks for the link to the actual show, Joe. I'm not a huge wine guy (I'm one of those lame people who get severe headaches from it), but I love watching Gary's videos.

I agree. With his whole "Vaynernation" and "Vayniacs" it seems like he's trying to build a TV persona. The Jim Cramer of wine?

gary has suggested in the past he's not interested in TV and rebuffed interest from TV execs, he likes the internet too much and thinks it's the future. I don't buy it, if the deal is right. seems like too much of a businessman to pass up a good opportunity.

Blue Ribbon in Arlington, MA if I'm anywhere north of Tennessee. Otherwise, I just can't pick.

But I LOVED both Kreuz Market and the Salt Lick. Mmmmm

I grew up in North Carolina and by far my favorite was Troutman's Barbecue in Denton, NC for the perfect chopped plate. When I moved to Huntsville, AL, I became a Big Bob Gibson's fan - but it's apples and oranges as far as styles go.

definitely RUB on 23rd street...just the smell of that place makes my mouth water.

I love Ubon's in Yazoo City, MS. They smoke everything beautifully and my mouth is watering just thinking about the food and hospitality they serve up. You cant go wrong with them!

Ubon's also knows exactly how to make PERFECT fried catfish!

In NYC I just cant seem to get myself away from Virgil's...

Daisy May's BBQ is the best I've found in NYC. Although the pulled pork was delicious, the highly questionable political views disseminated at Maurice's BBQ in Columbia, SC didn't go down as easily.

i love the selection of bbq at Blue Smoke....as well as the strong cocktails that allow so much more food to go down. YUM!

As a barbecue aficionado, some of the best ribs that I've ever tasted can be found at Uncle Pete's in Boston. It takes Pete two - three days to prepare a rack of ribs. This a guy that is obsessed with ribs, and the taste reflects his devotion - the best I've had!

Hand down RUB in New York City. For a kind of fancy chain experince Houston's is the way to go.

Gonna have to pick Payne's, in Memphis, TN for this one. The Rendez-Vous is too huge and impersonal, and while I love Neely's in a pinch, Payne's reigns supreme for me in Bluff City. Their pulled pork sandwich (about $3.50) hand-chopped to order by a grandmother who has clearly worked there forever is just about the tastiest thing you can eat in Memphis. The location--the space used to be a gas station and garage--and lack of utensils (save sporks) just adds to the draw of Payne's smoky, moist meat with just a hint of sweetness. Sigh.

PS: Be warned, as the sandwiches do come with cole slaw on top, and that's not to everyone's liking.

My mom is from northern Alabama, where I spend many summers with my grandparents. They lived very close to to Big Bob's in Decatur, but I'll always claim that nearby Whitt's pulled pork with vinegar sauce and slaw is the best. Very similar in style to what Chris Lilly does, but it's missing one crucial element: childhood memories.

Barbecue is one of those foods that sometimes requires such memories. Like mom's pies or grandma's biscuits, there may be better tasting food out there, but we're always fondest of the food we have the fondest memories of eating.

Smoke Joint, Brooklyn. They have really great pork and beef ribs and their Tips n' Bits are a great To-Go item because you can pack it up in a roll and bring it to work the next day for lunch. They're delicious in a cold sandwich. Don't forget their coleslaw -- they've got a vinegar or mayo based one. Same for the sauce, you can go vinegar-based or dark and sweet.
