Damn

[ousdahl]

anybody know of like a good comprehensive history of bbq, including regional styles and stuff? Maybe a book or something?

[jhawks99]

Smoke and Spice by the Jamesons is very good.
Barbecue Bible by Raichlen is good as well, although he's kind of annoying.

More for technique and method rather than history.

[ousdahl]

right on, thanks.

Basically I'd like an elevator pitch's worth of info on a few of the more famous regions and stuff.

KC
Memphis
Carolina
Texas
etc.

so when I say I love BBQ and some foodie gets all uppity on me, I can explain the differences and tell them to shut up and put some cheese on it.

The app above has the history. As well as a podcast going though past present a future of KC BBQ.

Don't get BBQ at Kauffman or Arrowhead.

I'd be more worried about the pizza at arrowhead.

ohh man! Had some friends over a couple nights ago, so we did a bunch of wings plus a pork tenderloin.

As soon as they went on the grill, weather picked up, and started snowing and blowing sideways. I wrapped the grill in a couple towels to keep the temp up, which worked surprisingly well.

Smoked wings are sooo good, but the real gem was the pork. Savory, juicy, melt in your mouth tender. (actually imho a little heavy on the garlic, but let's not split hairs)

I take it as a good thing when there's so much flavor that no one even cares to put sauce on it.

I had smoked wings today.
They are sooo good.

Don’t get “nachos” at AFH. (Unless they’ve improved in the last couple years.)

That’s the best.

I miss the nachos animation on the ol' vintage scoreboard.

[ousdahl]

anyone know anything about Wagyu beef?

That’s my favorite food. The Manning bros, not Danny, have a good bbq pulled pork nacho at their joint in NO.

I don’t know much about it. But I’ve been eating it for the past year at 801 Chophouse.

American raised "Kobe" beef. Mostly a marketing gimmick. I think you're better off going for USDA aged prime.
