Bad BBQ, meet McRib.

McRib, meet Bad BBQ.


I'm from the Northeast.
We know seafood, we know pasta, we're almost good at knowing steak, and we will someday be good at knowing BBQ.

But not yet.


Case in point.
At a picnic last year.
A large foil pan with ribs falling off the bone while getting a slight char on the grill.
Can't go wrong, right?

Completely devoid of flavor.

Find out they're boiled, baked, then grilled to get some black on them.
And topped with Hunts BBQ.

yum...?

Local outfit offers Alabama sauce. First time I've ever seen white BBQ sauce. Wife likes it....I can't get past the color...for the most part, I find the regional distinctions amusing and with a lot of overlap, it would be challenging to categorize many in a blind taste test....for me anyway. As long as there's more zing and less vinegar taste, I'm good with most of them.

Mikekoz, I've never had good pork outside of Texas and Louisiana unless it came off a whole hog. I just don't get why the hell people just want to shred apart the meat, if you're doing that, you might as well just make carnitas, the taste is just so much better imo.

Come for a visit and I'll show you how it's done.

That's not BBQ and EVERYONE knows it.

Case in point....you need to have some friends that know how to cook!

Wow!!! A good deed never goes unpunished.OK, actually your food sucked & you drink crappy beer & if I did not bring good cigars you would have smoked your dog rockets!!! Yeah the yanks stink this year, butstill won't have the drought that boston did between WS wins. Was it around 100 years.
Speaking of old news, get rid of that stinkin outdated aviator of yours. In case you don't know, the pats lost to Payton Manning & the Super Bowl champs Broncos.
This is why I hate boston beans, boston lager, and New England chowder in addition to all freaken fans[jester] [jester] of the teams up there!!!

And I do have friends that know how to cook.
Just not that one.

That you're probably...no...I bet there's some other person on the planet that believes McDonalds is a style of BBQ...and that despite your friend's poor cooking skills still won't mess that up..but please continue to tell us how many contests McDonalds has won in the Pitmaster Series.
