Main thing I like about Corky's is how particular they are with the prep, and their ribs too. Fucking great.
I've never found a reason to actually set foot in NC, so I admit I haven't tried the BBQ there, and there is a place out here near Germantown I can't recall the name of that is really good too.
Don't get it as much cause there is usually a fucking line out to the street, Corky's has the drive-around service.
brb fapping
I cannot fucking stand that dry-meat bullshit slathered in thick molasses-and-sugar they call BBQ sauce. That shit is not right.
The place out in Germantown is only wet stuff, Corky's sells both, but I like the dry stuff from there.
Course, I am partial to homecooked dry ribs too, but that's just cause the mom-in-law makes AWESOME fucking dry ribs... fuck, now I gotta bug her to make some more, damn things are like crack on a bone.
Needless to say, Austin does not do BBQ well, fucking sucked.
If they pull it out I know all my friends and I will be heading down for the parade/rally/whatever, but I'll likely be celebrating for at least a week lol, so we may be able to work something out.
I didn't like BBQ from Texas at all.
Note, when I say dry, I merely mean it isn't covered in sauce when you get it, it isn't cooked out til it's dry at Corky's, the stuff is juicy as hell, just clean.
Yeah BBQ in Texas sucks, I did find some awesome burger places down there tho.
Factness: pigs are indeed made of BBQ.
I miss Whataburger, and this joint that popped up called Burger Station made hamburgers so good you would find a way to lick your elbows to get the stuff that ran down your arm.
Please don't talk about Chicago pizza, I haven't had it since I last drove through there like 4 years ago. Despite being Brooklyn born that pizza is legit, I'm always half tempted to get it flown out but I'm afraid that it won't taste the same. I tried folding that slice and it did not end well though lol, broke the slice in 2.
Pork or bust.
Texas Roadhouse, has excellent Texas style bbq, and the bread they serve with the meals....out of this world. Sadly I only know of a few Texas Roadhouses, and they're all in the sw burbs by me, haven't seen any up north or in the city.
