Top 50 Best BBQ. Once again Texas wins!

Setting the scene:

A small basement bathroom, dimly lit...Texas crickets chirp in the background. A bi-curious cowboy fiendishly scours the web for troll material. He knows a BBQ magazine is lame...but its late. He bookmarks the page, rubs one last one out to some gay porn, and the lights fade out. Originally Posted by AlbusMilitis

13) Oklahoma Joe's Barbecue (Kansas City, Kansas) People may disagree on who has the best BBQ. Here, the brisket (particularly the burnt ends), pulled pork, and ribs are all of a quality that meet the high standards even of Kansas City natives. It's the best BBQ in Kansas City, which makes it the best BBQ in the world.

They seldom go into any depth. Most of them have little education outside of their own job of putting words down on paper without any understanding of the subject.

Wow, the reporter was NATIONAL. SO WHAT! There is no excuse for a reporter to make up a story with little facts:

The Q39 folks have a long history that's known to those who pay attention, which dates back way before they opened in 2014.
The main guy at Q39 has more than 3 decades of Hotel Food and Beverage. Including at one of the main hotels here in KC as its executive chef for one of those decades. I believe he started on the competitive circuit 7 or 8 years before the store opened.

Once again Texas dominated the field.

Question. Does it bother people in Kansas that Texas has the best BBQ for the 11th. year in a row?
Which BBQs have you tried in KC?

I find it amusing that in reading the Texas list the third or fourth one said to come in Thursday for the "green-chile mac and cheese."... I wonder if that's considered Italian Tex-Mex...??

No, its pretty much accepted that Texas is tops. Originally Posted by MrNyceGuy

Its interesting that the publication was a Texas publication talking bout Texas...didnt look but I would wonder who or where the author of this is from. So this proves nothing more than Texans love to talk about Texas.
Just an opinion and you know what they say everyone has one like an asshole. Originally Posted by BigDeal

If not I'll bring you some.

Q39 is good and so is Jack's Stack. Joe's is tasty, but the service sucks. All in all, I think LC's and Bryant's are some of the best you can have anywhere.

Try Smokin' Guns BBQ in NKC or just down the street Hog Jaw Fritz. Both have great burnt ends, but SG has a bigger menu.

Side bit after some googling. It was R. Lee Ermey that said it in Full Metal Jacket, and R. Lee Ermey was the advisor to Louis Gossett Jr. on "An Officer and a Gentlemen".

LC's for KC. Comparing different regional styles of bbq is like comparing blues, bluegrass and jazz musicians. Each has their own flavor and standards of comparison.
