That the sweet KC style has dominated the market over the past 20 years is not a ringing endorsement of that particular brand of sauce, just that the general masses are more inclined to gravitate towards a sweeter sauce than a tart, vinegary type of sauce.

Personally, I find that the acceptance of the KC style sauce as "the BBQ sauce" in terms of the general consensus is, perhaps, leading to the eventual downfall of what was the greatest and initially accepted BBQ in the world. (And yes, I'm including Jamaican Jerk, Thai, Mongolian, etc. - KC BBQ put BBQ on the map in terms of cuisine, acceptable cuisine to even the gourmet chefs. It allowed the world wide style of "pit" cooking to be accepted as a singular method. They had to account for BBQ as a major influence in terms of culinary and consumer demand and style.)

To discount a particular style of BBQ in terms of it's regional preference is akin to discounting BBQ as an acceptable method for preparing meat in general.

I implore you to try various styles of American BBQ to fully appreciate and enjoy what the craft of open flame cooking provides.

(And I guarantee that the Carolina style will enhance your appreciation of grilled fish all the more.)

I'm more of a BBQ supremacist in that I believe all other BBQ regions are inferior in sauce and methods to KC. I do enjoy BBQ in other regions of the country including here in Texas but they all fall short compared to KC

The leading vote getter so far is jackstackBBQ. You can order their ribs, meat etc online at http://www.jackstackbbq.com/default.asp

You have to get you some cheesy corn from there too.

I think i dont like jackstack as much as OK Joes, (but it is great great bbq) but i think im mainly burned out cause my parents always mass order it every other weekend for dinner and i rarely have ok joes. I guess thats not a bad thing cause i still eat it all and love it

Hammock Parties · 10-23-2009, 12:13 AM

Jack Stack's desserts are also incredible. I had their triple chocolate brownie sundae....OMFGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

If I lived in KC I would go to Jack Stack's every week. It's also cozy as ****...great place for a date.

KCUnited · 10-23-2009, 08:04 AM

OK Joe's Carolina pulled pork sandwich is in my top 5 mouthfuls of BBQ in the city.

Dottefan · 10-23-2009, 08:14 AM

OK Joe's ( the gas station location) and Bryants on 18Th st. Choosing between those two , is like asking a mother to choose her favorite kid..I love them both the same , but for different reasons.

I moved away from KC 7 years ago and MAN I MISS Zarda, Winslows and LC's. the wife and I go to Sonnys Real Pit here on Fridays for $10.99 baby backs, corn sweet potato ans slaw and it's not bad at all.

Saccopoo · 10-23-2009, 04:52 PM

Oh, and I do suggest you try some Carolina Style BBQ sauce on chicken or a shredded pork shoulder. I personally love it on grilled mako shark steaks. Here's my super secret recipe for Carolina BBQ sauce if you want to give it a whirl. I've made it a touch sweeter than is typical. Cut down/remove the hot sauce or cayenne if you like a little less heat to your sauce:

Carolina Style BBQ Sauce

1 c. prepared yellow mustard
¼ c. granulated sugar
¼ c. molasses
¼ c. honey
½ c. cider vinegar
1 T. white vinegar
1 T. balsamic vinegar
¼ c. light lager beer
1 T. vegetable oil
½ T. key lime juice
¼ t. hot sauce
¼ t. ground thyme
¼ t. white pepper
¼ t. fine ground black pepper
pinch of ground cayenne pepper

Mix and bring to boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for approximately 20 minutes.

I never considered BBQ a "favorite food" until I moved to KC. If that doesn't say it all, nothing else will.

Adept Havelock · 10-23-2009, 06:46 PM

Snead's BBQ is still my favorite. Best Burnt Ends I've ever eaten, and the sauce isn't sweet.

I really wish Snead's wasn't in the Belton area. I could go for some of their "brownies" right now.
