I can think of no one better to translate BBQ for the deprived folks of the world. I’m so hungry after reading this that I’m ready to kidnap Mike and find some BBQ. What an incredible post. <br /><br />I grew up on a NC hybrid BBQ. My grandparents lived in Reidsville NC – pretty much smack dab in the middle of the state and just across the line from VA. NC BBQ is geographical – either Eastern style or Western (or Lexington) style. Eastern tends to be whole-hog chopped or minced smoked meat with just a teency tiny tad bit of a vinegar/pepper sauce added to the pork at the table. Western style is butts sliced, chopped or minced with a vinegar based sauce to which some ketchup and maybe some sugar is added. Reidsville BBQ (from the only BBQ restaurant in town – Short Sugar’s) was always butts – sliced, chopped or minced and they douse it with a completely different and ambrosial sauce. Not a clue what it is – sweeter than a vinegar based sauce (though it may have some vinegar in it), as thin as Worcestershire and as dark as soy. It is a puzzlement and I’d give someone a LOT of money to reverse engineer the recipe for me. I live in fear that they will change the recipe and come home from every NC trip lugging gallons of the stuff!<br /><br />Most folks seem to think that regional BBQ is in competition with other BBQs. I disagree. I adore the pork BBQ that I grew up with, but I love TX brisket and KC ribs and Memphis pulled pork. I can’t wait to try that mayo based sauce from Alabama. And I know that I’d love MS sweet sauce. I hear that they smoke mutton in KY and I’d love to try that. If you smoke it, I will come. <br /><br />Well, I didn’t mean to run away with your blog, Miss Rachel, but you DID ask!<br />Kim S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06609086775319252934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574003980721581984.post-32882815892514380832014-06-12T20:43:16.509-04:002014-06-12T20:43:16.509-04:00I was raised in KC on KC BBQ!

Another 12 or 13 hours at the current 235 degrees....... I wish I could eat your words!<br /><br />I have 17.5 pounds of butt (precook pre-trim weight) getting ready for the church picnic tomorrow. Hickory and apple wood supplying the airborne marinade. The rub is a bit of an experiment, as they all are I guess. I am hoping it works out 'cause there is no going back. And this time I am surrendering the reins on the sauce creation to My Bride. Now THAT is faith. But I have been less than satisfied with my own sauce efforts recently, and she of course got the lifetime achievement award for her work as Kitchen Goddess. So the odds are in our favor!<br /><br />Enjoy your trip, milady. Bearhugs to all of yours from us.steelersandstartrekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15945760858360791814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574003980721581984.post-86723764410820752522014-06-06T12:47:28.564-04:002014-06-06T12:47:28.564-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.RachelDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11204947567574886675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574003980721581984.post-3166039247547041462014-06-06T12:47:23.168-04:002014-06-06T12:47:23.168-04:00OFF 240 onto Mt.

I'll look for Head Country sauce.<br /><br />I was raised on Memphis-style, and have tried St. Louis, Texas, and even Chicago, with jaunts into out-of-the-way joints all over the South, just following my nose to the smoke. Red Hot and Blue in Virginia is a great place, as well. My all-time favorite is still Leonard's in Memphis (William and Harry don't KNOW what they missed).<br /><br />Always nice to have you drop in!<br /><br />rRachelDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11204947567574886675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574003980721581984.post-63203772201163534842014-06-05T12:18:10.064-04:002014-06-05T12:18:10.064-04:00Head Country BBQ sauce is made in OK and seems to ...Head Country BBQ sauce is made in OK and seems to be a favorite around here.
