Although, my favorite isn’t a restaurant. One of the club investors does the HLSR cookoff every year and his team has won it a couple of times. That was hands down the best I’ve had. How about you?

Brad_ATX 13,654 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Also have to admit that I'm a convert. I still love pork bbq (gonna make a butt this weekend and turn the leftovers in Brunswick Stew). However, you haven't eaten right until you get Wagyu beef ribs and brisket. It's like buttery, smoked heaven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The key is making sure you get the internal temp correct and keeping the outside moist during the cooking process. Novices will cook them like steaks. Nope. Need them to get to around 200° internal so the fat renders properly. Yeah ..what I had looked nothing like that lol. ...the first time was some dry thin shaved weird textured, almost tasteless stuff you had to drown in BBQ sauce....it was at a BBQ joint that didn't last long.the 2nd time was in a more trusted sreakhouse type restaurant that had it as a "special". That looked a little better, it just tasted like really stout bacon. It was a little too much....I've had a few places recommended to me near here, but haven't yet. I feel like I gotta wait til I'm in Texas someday to give it another go! Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rule of thumb here: if the bbq needs sauce, it ain't worth a damn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They even have Frito pie in the bag on the menu (with no-bean brisket chili). I'm sure a lot of folks from Texas have places back home they like better but I can't imagine they'd turn their noses up completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grr. Also in upstate SC: the pimento cheese Chick Fil A sandwich. I'm actually in Charleston for a few hours. Went to Rodney Scott's. Legit. Almost more NC than SC style with the vinegar sauce but still its own thing. Would love to go back with a group and try more of the menu.

Distill down some apple cider vinegar Add salt, pepper, dried onions, garlic, and red pepper flakes to taste into the pot once it hits a rolling boil. Let simmer for about 10-15 minutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a hot pepper vinegar sauce, but they use jalapeno and Habanaro.....its spicy, but not near as bad as it sounds. I mix it in with the tomato based sauce. I know it also has red pepper flakes as well. Its friggin incredible though!!....goes great on not just BBQ, but on side vegetables too. I may just use your recipe with a touch of the peppers and see what happens. Ive been trying to find something similar in stores, and no luck. ...May give that a shot this weekend! haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great place to visit for history, architecture, seafood and of course golf lots and lots and lots of playing golf back in early 90's. Back then there was a big gap with the blue bloods/old money and Geechees. Not for me long term to live there back then. Hope its better today.

It's actually pretty tangy with a slight kick. I love it. My favorite low key sauce that many have never tried is Kentucky Black sauce. It's different, but SO good. They primarily use it on BBQ mutton, but it's damn fine on pulled pork too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
