well, here I am in Medford Oregon in another truck stop drinking JD and wondering if the snow in the mountains will be a problem tomorrow. Perhaps, highway 1 down the coast may be in the cards. Hmmmmm. Nothing as serene as drinking JD straight from the bottle and contemplating the future. I could even get sublime enough to apologize to Raw Alex......prolly not. LOL

US 101 down the coast isn't bad, as two lane highways go, but getting from Medford over to the coast is no fun at all.

They usually keep I-5 over the Siskiyou's plowed and sanded unless the snow is falling faster than they can keep up with.

Finally made it to California. We're lost in the redwoods of Humboldt County trying not to slip on the milk and get stuck in the honey. The pavement seems shiny and has an eerie yellowish glow.

Wisconsin Dells is more of a summer destination but the food there is great.

I haven't been there in years but they have the best ribs on the planet.

The southeast is already seeing 60's and 70's.

Though typically we'll get one more cold blast for a few days before spring really settles in.

The quality of your BBQ picks up in Texas, KC, Memphis and peaks as you enter the deep south.

OK, so far its "The Snazzy Pig" in Roswell New Mexico. Hands down the best ribs so far. The worst.....again hands down .....Tomaine Tony's Pit BBQ in El Paso. Walked out after one bite. Worse than Dixie's.

well, ya see, we get tons of sun here. in fact, long about august, we get way way way too much sun. air conditioner repair vans run blue lights and are allowed to blow thru intersections like an ambulance.

so we enjoy a little snow when we get it.

you should try a southern circuit in spring or fall when weather is at it's best.

i heard someone hint at a little FFN road trip hitting jack daniels distillery, ribs in memphis and then hanging out for a day or three in the casinos on the river and eating with Paula Deen....

Most of the texas ribs I've had are of the beef variety and involve gnawing off the bone. Beef ribs are great as is texas bbq in general, but I generally consider it different from "southern BBQ".

In the south when i think ribs, i'm thinking pig, and cooked to the point that they're falling off the bone and slathered in a sweet sauce. In a proper BBQ joint the sauce is often applied literally with a mop.

The definitiion of proper BBQ quite literally depends upon where you're standing in the country.

Here in Georgia where I stand right now, my benchmark is Williamson Bros...pulled pork and a sweet 'n spicy sauce.

I can't argue with any of that, and to be honest I really prefer BBQ brisket over ribs, but then I'm just a transplanted Yankee. :)

Here's the thing about ribs for me...

I like ribs, but that's not the type of thing you'd eat on a first date or with anyone who you might wanna convince you have any sort of manners....

To enjoy really good ribs, you've gotta be able to roll your sleeves up, hang a napkin around your neck and be prepared to have it all over your face like a 3 year old eating spaghetti. A good rib joint will have a roll of paper towels on every table....and refills the roll often.

I mean, you ever watch lions kill something on Animal Planet? And the way they have blood all in their whiskers right after the meal before they settle down and bathe? Well, that's kinda how I look after a good batch of ribs, and I'm scary looking enough without having that going for me as well.

Nah, my everyday favorite BBQ is a simple pulled pork samitch.

I'm pretty sure that you have to be Southern to appreciate that it doesn't count as FOOD until it's all over your face. And I cannot tell you how happy it makes me to have a discussion on a board that understands "barbeque" is a NOUN and not a VERB.

'Cos I dunno about y'all, but I get very confused when people start talking about "barbeque" and it's a freakin' hamburger. NO. THIS IS NOT BBQ. :huh:

As for what counts as "real" bbq? All pork, all the time. Period. Beef doesn't make good barbeque - it makes beef ribs in BBQ sauce :P

Absolutely, if you're merely cooking outdoors, that is not a BBQ and you aren't BBQing unless there's some smoked pig and sauce involved. Burgers or steak on a grill is merely a cookout. Though that's yummy too.

ZACKLY.

First time I heard someone say they were going to a barbeque, my (typically Southern) response was "oh, what kind?"

I was very confused when they seemed confused and answered "Y'know... Hamburgers and hotdogs...?"

Me: "... that's not barbeque. That's grilling out, the event is a cookout. How is this possible you don't know that?"

Them: "Um, in Boston, that's how this works."

Me: "Boston is, evidently, dumb."

There is NO BBQ in Boston.

In fact I would say for me the true BBQ line for BBQ as we know it roughly runs east and west at the mason dixon line for the northern border the Florida state line for the southern border. East is the ocean, and west is the mississippi with the exception of Kansas City which makes a damned fine brisket.

Texas has their own standards and is a different animal....a bull to be exact. I can appreciate a true texas "bbq" where they smoke a whole side of beef.

My favorite local BBQ eatery has both beef and pork brisket, plus sausages and chicken. It's a good place to take a group of people, almost everyone can find an option they like.

I think the best thing about BBQ is the fact that it has a different approach everywhere you go. I ran an open pit BBQ when I was going to college in Alabama, ran a million dollar store BBQ chain here in Tampa ... ah, how I miss the smoke ... maybe one day gonna open my own flavor. :yowsa:
