I just read in the Seattle Times that Rick Perry was interviewed for a book on North Carolina BBQ some years back. Now his comments regarding what he ate are coming back to haunt him. After trying some of the BBQ, he told the author that was the best road-kill he had ever had...or something to that effect.

Now, I have had Real Pit BBQ from the SE and I have had Texas style BBQ....and I totally prefer SE style with the mustard based sauce instead of the Southwest's preference for Ketchup based sauces.
I also prefer that the meats are cooked dry instead of wet, and messy.

All that being said, our own Salmon BBQ's beat them all, as does the Santa Maria Tri-Tip BBQ of California.
