Question of the Day: Carolina or Kansas City barbecue?

OK, this is a troll...

What's best depends on the day's taste. On one day there's nothing like NC vinegary-peppery pulled pork with a dose of slaw on top; on another day there's nothing like SC yellow mustardy pork. On yet another day pork with a KC-style sauce is what's required. None is best, ALL are best.
Todays Q is far, far better than no Q at all!

My personal favorite is the tasty minced pork barbeque at Doumar's in Norfolk, VA. Check out their menu!

Being a Pan-Southerner who has tried almost all kinds of 'que (including my vegan phase and my special tofu 'que....) I must say I feel that each regional variation must be judge within its own confines. It is fine to compare what is the best place that serves that style of bbq (carolina, texas, memphis, kc etc) but I do not even try to rate which style or region is the 'best". I love them all for their own uniqueness. Some days I want that vinegary pulled pork sandwich, some days a dry rubbed rib, or a texas brisket sandwich, or a thick KC sauced up sliced beef. And horrors of horrors I sometimes have TWO Regional styles at the same time and enjoy both for just being what they are.

Hey folks, just a reminder to please keep the comments on topic. We realize that barbecue is a hot-button issue with many people, but we want to keep the discussion civil and avoid character attacks on other Serious Eaters. The Talk section is a cocktail party; let's save the brawls for the dive bars.

Baruch (may I call you Bernard of is it Mr de Spinoza?) - afraid you have once again rendered an uninformed opinion. I won't burden this thread with biographically data but rest assured I am very much on the other end of your fantasy of me. Every blog has a bully and you are certainly warming to the task. Following the advice of my therapist, I will no longer address you directly.

Question of the Day: Carolina or Kansas City barbecue?

I like Carolina barbecue (pork) and Kansas City brisket. I lived in NC for a few years and got hooked on barbecue. I now make my own vinegar based sause that I use. It is very easy. When I smoke brisket I also make my own tomato based bbq sauce. There is truely no one brand of tomato based sauce I really like. When I drive through NC I always stop and grab a bottle of Wilbur's bbq sauce or Bob's. Now I am hungry. Pig Picking cake anyone?

livetotravel - LOL unfortunately, no bait, but appreciate the "attempt". it's those like u who make statements like these, that "appear" to be interesting & erudite, but sadly, at-the-end-of-the-day are simply pedantic. i would guess, u are young, fairly unsophisticated, somewhat of a wannabe, but just don't make enough, so then the only thing left is to hide behind a facade pretending. u can't debate the merits, so why not cast slings & arrows. it may work for some observers, but for those "been there, seen that" another example of ... what ever-- it's actually not worth the effort!
