      I don’t disagree.

      In this context that would be called grilling. BBQ is also a term that is used, but not when you talk about Texas, Kansas, and NC. We have that too. You wouldn’t cook a ribeye this way. It’s just different in this convo.

      Fried chicken is also relevant here, and the Korean KFC and KBBQ are foods that deserve lots of respect IMO.

      Who am I kidding? I just like good food.

    I think they all do different things well. Texas is beef and brisket in my mind and NC is for pulled pork. KC has a good sauce, but I’m least exposed to that. Why divide and separate? Unite and share the love.

      Honestly agree, I like a kc based sauce (I prefer to make it spicy) but then I’ll put it on some delicious BBQ from anywhere lol. Brisket? Spicy kc based sauce, pulled pork? Spicy kc based sauce… chicken? See above lol.

    Jokes aside, let us not forget that many of these people voted blue through gritted teeth in direct opposition to Trump. Those people will not appreciate being called a liberal for their votes. They will 100% go back red on the next election if and when Trump and his cronies are not on the ballot, unless the Dems can take advantage of this situation and show some actual fucking leadership and demonstrate why their choose was a good one. This is not a time for complacency. We won a lap, not the whole race.

      NC is really a pretty liberal and educated state, and continued urban population growth is likely to continue the trend.

      It’s just got a lot of rural areas and the GOP locked them down during the 90s

      Don’t hold your breath. Corporate-Dems think they won and this is a clear sign that poor people want neoliberalism and elitist “progressiveisms”.

        Can you share what neoliberalism or elitist progressivism means to you?

        I understand how to parse the words, but it’s just a nonsense label to ideas you don’t like. You also can’t really label any group as both “poor” and “elitist” at the same time.

      What do these people have against liberty? Don’t they like freedom?

    On a business trip I once had a group of burly Texas oilmen all agree that the brisket at the “DC area chain restaurant” was the best they’d had.

    Which was … pretty fucking funny tbh.

    For the next decade they all tried to find a better joint in Houston.

    I don’t even like brisket that much.

    I’ll take Texas or Kansas, but that NC BBQ with that salad dressing for sauce is some weak-ass shit. Come up with some good sauce, or find another game.

      Texas and Kansas think BBQ sauce should be basically ketchup, but with even more sugar. North Carolina has great sauce with vinegar and spice. South Carolina’s is also great with the mustard-based sauce.

      It’s pretty much vinegar with some spices. Years ago when I moved to NC, ordered BBQ pulled pork at a little hole in the wall place. Not what I expected. The pork itself was delicious but they poured that vinegar over the plate and essentially ruined it. I still get BBQ here, but order a side of rib sauce. That vinegar stuff is garbage.

    Nothing beats a good Texas brisket.

    Kansas city is just sauce. It should be called casserole, not bbq.

    NC sauce makes their bbq inedible, so I I am not sure how good their meat is.

    I know I’m biased, but Texas all day every day.

    That said, I do love me some vinegar sauce
