Mmmmmm…St Louis BBQ

Mmmm…can’t…mmmm…form words….nom nom… busy eating…

You know what I’m saying. You can smell it long before you see it – tangy, smoky, and slow-roasted. You’ll need napkins, but not for the sauce that gets on your fingers. You’ll need those napkins to wipe away tears of joy as you experience this spectacular repast.

But I’m not talking about ribs. I’m talking about the preliminary schedules for *FIRST *Championship St Louis. Find them here.

Tuck in, and be ready to weep.

So what’s better St. Louis’ BBQ or Houston’s BBQ?

St. Louis bbq is where you use tongs to fish out a spare rib from a bucket of sauce…

4

Speaking of ribs, if you’re in St Louis, we were impressed with Pappy’s Smokehouse last year.

5

Saint Louis… Bogart’s

That is all.

6

Kansas City Barbeque is the best actually. You can make it here in about 3 1/2 hours from St. Louis. You won’t be disappointed.

7

Yesss seconded.

8

Couldn’t agree more. It’s definitely worth the trip, but it helps if that’s also the trip home :stuck_out_tongue:

9

You haven’t been to Pappy’s or Bogarts then…both are the best ribs in STL and they’re dry (Memphis style).

10

So you all agree that St. Louis is ribs/bbq destination?

11

Can’t even begin to compare St Louis to Texas, if that’s what you’re asking. But between Pappy’s and Bogarts, St Louis has the best ribs I’ve ever had in my life, by a mile.

12

Texas has the best brisket. St. Louis has the best ribs. North Carolina has the best pulled pork. Georgia has the best chicken. Memphis has the best sauce. But my all time favorite is burnt ends, and you can’t get true burnt ends unless you’re in Kansas city.

13

Right. It’s good because it’s not STL style :stuck_out_tongue:

14

Will be in San Antonio and Corpus Christi for a week over the summer - any suggestions?

15

I might be able to bring up some proper Barbecue sauce from maybe Joe’s or Zardas if people want to be educated about what real barbecue tastes like.

If you haven’t caught on, we’re really REALLY proud of our barbecue over here.
