Have at it!
Have we already concluded Cincinnati has the best chili in the country?
Again...I think Texas has that in the bag.
That depends on who you believe invented the frito pie.
Skyline Chili?Have we already concluded Cincinnati has the best chili in the country?
Also, best bbq chain?
I'm gonna throw it out there- Korean BBQ competes with any!
Pssh, if we're going international, Brazilian churrasco.
It’s the culinary equivalent of mock crab.
“Let’s take a cheap cut of meat, cook it on low heat for an extended period of time to make it tender. You know, like the expensive cuts of meat, even though these cheap cuts are now relatively expensive because it’s trendy. Now, let’s disguise the taste with smoke and sauce.” None of it makes sense. Except it makes even less sense when you involve pork or chicken.
Just buy some real cuts.
1) They bank on people not understanding the difference between “select”, “choice”, and “prime”.Properly cooked ribeye is usually my go to. And go to an actual butcher to get the thickness and marbling that you need. That 3/4" crap at your supermarket ain't gonna cut it.

2) There’s only ~40 places in the US that can sell Kobe.

My brother's wife is Korean (and grew up mostly in Saudi Arabia--she has a really interesting life story!), and he says he gets noteably better food if he goes to Korean restaurants with her than if goes alone or only with other non-Korean folk, so there may be another level of Korean BBQ that you may not have yet experienced. Also, she's a stickler for traditional v. "incorrect" Korean BBQ (has to do with the type of fuel used).I'm gonna throw it out there- Korean BBQ competes with any!
I hate you right now for telling my cuts suck. Thank god everyone eating it loved it.It’s the culinary equivalent of mock crab.

This coming from the person named "medium rare?"All you carnivores sound like pigs at the trough, lol.
I wear that like a badge of honor.All you carnivores sound like pigs at the trough, lol.
yeh. Texas BBQ wins. What is there to discuss?
Grew up Eastern NC and so the vinegar BBQ was my jam. Then a little west to Lexington style and the Kansas style. Now here in Texas, it's the best. NC Takes second
South Carolina BBQ is an abomination.

Meat still loves you!!!My brother's wife is Korean (and grew up mostly in Saudi Arabia--she has a really interesting life story!), and he says he gets noteably better food if he goes to Korean restaurants with her than if goes alone or only with other non-Korean folk, so there may be another level of Korean BBQ that you may not have yet experienced.

I'm a vegetarian, so I have no stake in this thread, heh.

Also seen it w. traditional thai food....back when I could handle the hot stuff. It took regularly going for 6mon before I got the "real" menu, none of which was in english, but the dishes were noticeably better.
I saw a TikTok about trying Chinese food joints with 3.5 stars on yelp being the sweet spot.This happens in almost all Asian cuisines. There is the food that traditionally sells in America and then there is the food that they cook at home. If you want the authentic experience bring someone that is native or knows the local/regional cuisine rather than the mass market choices. This is true of one of my local Chinese restaurants as well.
