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?
