LOL - love it. Ok....so, as we were saying, Texas BBQ reigns supreme, but we tolerate others 😉

Again...I think Texas has that in the bag.

That depends on who you believe invented the frito pie.

Yeah, I know NM thinks so....
Skyline Chili?
I'm gonna throw it out there- Korean BBQ competes with any!

Pssh, if we're going international, Brazilian churrasco.
Memphis dry rub ribs for ribs.
This could be blasphemy, but I like a KC dry rub for pork butt - smothered later in a Memphis bbq sauce (Lillie’s).

So...this is probably the only one I will 100% concede on. Being married to a Brazilian for 12 years, I am spoiled with Churraco.
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.

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.
1) They bank on people not understanding the difference between “select”, “choice”, and “prime”.
2) There’s only ~40 places in the US that can sell Kobe.
There are plenty of people selling "wagyu style" around here, haven't found actual Kobe for consumer use yet.

I am a NY strip person, a lot of due to the fact that most steakhouses (especially chained places) royally screw up the ribeye.
I will need to look this up. You've inspired me. 😛
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 a vegetarian, so I have no stake in this thread, heh.

All you carnivores sound like pigs at the trough, lol.
This coming from the person named "medium rare?"
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.

I wear that like a badge of honor. 🙂
Thank you! Finally some support here for Texas BBQ.
Sure, historically oppressed people chose brisket because it’s a good cut of meat (e.g., corned beef, pastrami, barbecue, etc). 😜
Lol, yep…
Love a good, grilled portobello.
Where's the love for eastern NC bbq? That vinegar based sauce is the best, IMO.

I've experienced this too; best first date ever!
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.

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.
I saw a TikTok about trying Chinese food joints with 3.5 stars on yelp being the sweet spot.
