The best barbecue in your town is...
In RVA, I might have to go with Buzz & Ned's
So I put (the dead dog) on her doorstep!
Salute the Marines

Re: The best barbecue in your town is...
No good barbecue near me...best place is Mission BBQ (which is good, but...). I try to stop by Buzz and Ned's when I pass through the area. I've even brought a cooler with me more than once.
I have the same relationship with barbecue that I do with horror movies - most are bad, but I keep searching for..."the one."

A restaurant chain based in Syracuse, NY, Dinosaur BBQ has the best BBQ in NYC.

I don’t live near it, but Pierce’s Pitt is pretty much the best.

Haters gonna hate. IIWII. It's not the best BBQ I've had, but it's close by and pretty good.

That's it, how ever you like barbeque is ok and where you go. Taste is an individual experience. But that stuff isn't winning competitions now.Jack Galt wrote:Haters gonna hate. IIWII.

Re: The best barbecue in your town is...
I'll go more into that, tenderness is objective. Perfectly tender q should dissolve in your mouth in 10 seconds. Faster than that and it's over cooked, longer and under cooked. Taste is subjective and personal. Appearance is both, should look clean and be only lettuce in the box with a mahogany color. Only time I really dock on that is if someone uses kale, which is a dq on appearances or pooling sauce, another dq. Qs nails these qualities better than others consistently. Especially their burnt ends, they're the best single item in Richmond.

Re: The best barbecue in your town is...
Also, buzz and neds is great too. It's up there with Qs, Qs is a 9 in my book and Buzz and Needs an 8.5. 9 is the highest score in a competition. There's a lot of great barbeque in RVA. TD's Smokehouse is another great one, even if half the store is a Quaker State oil and lube.awesome guy wrote:I'll go more into that, tenderness is objective.
