Speaking of road food, as we did the other day, the very best regional cuisine in my opinion is BBQ. It exists in an exuberant variety of styles and sauces and meats that are distinct to each region of the South. Rich Shipe sent me this video of a song that just about says and shows it all, including the important point that BBQ is not a verb but a noun!
(If the video isn’t coming up on your browser, hit “comments” and it will.)
Realizing that this will really stir up a controversy, what, in your experience, are the best BBQ joints?
I’ll go first: BEST CHAINS: Famous Dave’s (ribs); Rudy’s (brisket); BEST RIBS: Big Dawg’s, in Vinita, OK; BEST BRISKET: Head Country, in Ponca City, OK
