____q, I am only 45 minutes from you.. Your wife and kids would love to have me over for a visit.. I could impress your neighbors too.. My boyish good looks and sweet demeanor will make all your leftist neighbors realize fracking kicks szsz...

I could be wrong...but I suspect one, maybe two, of my five cul de sac neighbors to be leftists.

Tried Blanchard’s yesterday. Brisket & green chili corn casserole were great, sausage ok. Will go back soon (only couple minutes from home) and try pulled pork.

Gosh. If Tara and I move to Houston, we could move to the neighborhood and make it three!

Ehh...I’m not on the level of Pit Room and Feges..yet.

Feges is just downstairs from my office, so I’m both spoiled and getting fat.

Are you referring to the pit room in Houston?

Kind of hard to beat real Texas style BBQ. Louisiana is way behind in the BBQ department but we make up for it in other areas. The only way you can get real BBQ in Louisiana is if you go to somebodies house that knows how to do it.

Ruby's on Rue Louis? Man, I miss that place. I used to go every Sunday in the mid 90's.

Try Tim's Kitchen off Albertsons Pkwy in Broussard. Same family

Yup.

That place is good. Glad to hear it’s still up and running.

Its not going anywhere, and actually, they are looking for other locations if I'm not mistaken.

Their ribs are pretty darn good too.

Very few Cajuns BBQ anything. They grill stuff and put sauce on it and call it BBQ. I can tolerate Memphis and KC, but NC is garbage. Central Texas is the best.

You have to be more specific about NC BBQ being garbage. In NC their are different types of BBQ. My assumption is that you are talking about Eastern NC BBQ which is all vinegar based. Their BBQ sauce is not actually a sauce at all but more a liquid mixed with Apple Cider Vinegar, Brown Sugar and pepper. Lexington or Western NC BBQ is completely different, this is more tomato based BBQ, this is a more traditional BBQ sauce and is much better than the Eastern Style NC BBQ.

So saying that NC BBQ is garbage is not really telling the entire story, I can agree with you on the Eastern NC BBQ though.

The other thing to remember at NC BBQ is that it is all pulled pork. In NC when you go to a BBQ restaraunt, all you will see for the most part is pulled pork.

My problem with bbq on general in NC (lived here for close to 25 years) is that with few exceptions, it's just a pile of chopped to death (not pulled) meat with little flavor other than a sauce that's just a notch above straight vinegar...east or west. When I've asked for sliced..dry and just flavorless...like I said, there are exceptions, but few and far between...

Mm

Put it on a green egg and you can't miss.
