Dickey's Barbecue Pit

by KeithLancaster on Tue 25 Mar 2008 12:01 PM CDT | Permanent Link

I don't want to reopen the "southeast versus southwest" or "pork versus beef" barbecue debate, but I just enjoyed some fine beef brisket at Dickey's in Dallas. Tennesseans don't know much about brisket and Texans don't know a lot about pulled pork sandwiches. When it comes to ribs, I think that Memphis is the place to be, except for that esqusite sauce we enjoyed in Charlotte earlier this month.

In college, I remember going to a place by the side of the road that served outstanding barbecue. I'm not sure if they passed all the health inspections, but they sure knew how to cook. Where is your favorite place for barbecue?

I really like Jacks BBQ in downtown Nashville. I also like the chain Famous Daves.

If you're ever near San Antonio, you've got to go to the Salt Lick in Driftwood, TX. They have the BEST brisket and sauce I've ever had.

Salt Lick is the best... Maybe a bit closer to Austin than San Antonio though...either way its great.

My wife and I love the Red Hot & Blue chain. There's one on Main Street in Laurel, within walking distance of our house. We usually go there once a week. They serve Memphis-style pulled pork and ribs, among other things, including the best potato salad on the planet. One of the founders of the chain is Don Sundquist, former congressman from, and later governor of, Tennessee.

Corky's BBQ is in my top, however my mom took me to Jack's Creek BBQ in Henderson near Freed one time and that was some good stuff. Keith, did you eat at Carolina Country BBQ in Charlotte?

Jeremy,
I didn't get to try Carolina Country, but I have enjoyed Jack's Creek BBQ near Freed.
