What is your favorite style of BBQ?
The kind I’m eating, however I’m partial to brisket! Love bbq n weird history
Pig ears as a Filipino! But my family celebrate with lechon like the southern Louis then sauce it with mang Tomas to make leftover paksiw! A true luxury after stew to state
My favorite is the diablo sandwich. Thanks for keeping a secret, you know what state has the best BBQ.
😉
All of them
The answer to that is "YES". That is all.
I think this downplayed just how serious the ketchup vs. vinegar rivalry is between eastern and western North Carolina.
Most definitely. N C born and bred
Agreed. They didn’t even touch on Eastern NC bbq, but they used video clips of Skylight Inn, one of the best known spots for Eastern NC style
I never had western BBQ but how did they just skip over East NC cmon 😑
Was coming to say that same thing. We got multiple styles here and the battle is still ongoing between the ketchup and the vinegar styles !
NC native here, I was shocked when they cut to SC and didn't even mention the eastern style vinegar-based BBQ
I'm glad they included California's style, especially tri-tip but I think they forgot St. Louis style barbeque which is very famous
came here to say this
Did you just snub eastern NC?
We will never forget this
I’m a native to Santa Maria, CA and this is the first time Santa Maria style BBQ has been included in a list of “all BBQ’s from the US”. I was so excited to see this!! Thank you!!
Ever been to jockos?
@@ONEBALLINMYBUTT yep! Nipomo is awesome!!
they called them pinto beans. almost got it right.
The proper beans to accompany Santa Maria BBQ are PINQUITO Beans.....sometimes referred to as "little pinks," not the bigger speckled Pinto beans.
And Santa Maria BBQ, while it can be accompanied by tortillas and salsa, is often as not also accompanied by grilled garlic bread.
SMBBQ ❤ raised on it.
I’m kind of surprised they didn’t mention Kansas City’s absolute love for burnt ends
Jack Stack or Joe's for burnt ends. 👍
@@julieneff9408 joes or homemade usually. All of it’s good though
I always likes LC's BBQ the best.
@@BAHB420 I agree. Slaps really surprised me as well. LC's is my number 1 though.
@@aftrthejake6843 honestly you can’t really go wrong with the staples here in KC.
I’m glad Santa Maria style from California’s central coast got a shoutout. It’s so good!
I’m a native of Santa Maria, CA and I quite agree.
*YUP* 💯🔥👌🏻👊🏻🤟🏻‼️
@@felicity7579 I'm I SLOcal. Tri-tip all day everyday.
It's just after 7am and I already want barbecue.
That makes two of us
That’s normally when the BBQ Hunger begins
BBQ with breakfast
Make some! Just get some meat, wood and fire, and you can have BBQ whenever you want!
Weird history food never fails to make me hungry!
Ikr
Oh boy.. you showed the whole hog East North Carolina style (Skylight Inn) but didn't mention their style. In case anyone wonders, East NC style is whole hog with vinegar based sauce, while the west/Lexington is just the shoulder
Yep, and it's my favorite kind of BBQ.
I've lived in VA my whole life and never thought we had a standing in BBQ culture.
I thought it strange VA never really got a distinctive or famous bbq culture, considering it’s the oldest US state directly surrounded by some of the most well-known bbq styles in neighboring states like Tennessee or the Carolinas
You left out Eastern NC BBQ, which is vinegar based. It's the best.
I'm from East Texas and I can verify how much we love our style of BBQ but I also enjoy Memphis and North Carolina BBQ
that is so cool, bc both of those bbq styles are very different. I've never heard of anyone having a taste of wildly different bbq. isnt TX beef bbq?
@@kewl851 I love how unique each flavor is and most Texas Beef is BBQed
I love a lot of BBQ sauces but the mustardy ones are always gonna be my favorites. Works so well with pulled pork
That's it man. Golden.
Indeed. Pork and chicken both work well with a mustard-based sauce and they are too easily overlooked.
Same. And in the Northeast, where people automatically think of BBQ tomato sauces, it's stupidly hard to find. But it's perfect for pork & chicken.
Yes I pull my pork with mustard every chance I get!
Thanks so much for this channel's representation of so many states, including us from Hawaii! Along with the mixed plates mentioned there's a few other BBQ methods used in Hawaii including the traditional imu (an underground pit that uses lava rocks to slow-cook meats) and huli huli chicken (a flipping style of teriyaki chicken cooked by "turn, turn" method)
As a native Tennessean, I can say I'm quite proud Memphis is so often in the conversation when it comes to top notch barbecue.
It shouldn’t be. It’s not the only damn city with BBQ
great video but as an NC native, you totally left out the tomato vs vinegar debate between the western and eastern parts of the state
Thanks for reminding me I now need to try ACTUAL Hawaiian BBQ, instead of just relying on Sweet Baby Ray's sauce for imagination
I was stationed in Hawaii for a few years, Chicken Katsu, and the loco moco are to DIE for! If you are in Honolulu you must stop at Rainbow drive in!
currently stationed here, it's pretty overrated
Ikr
What does Sweet Baby Ray’s have to do with Hawaiian BBQ at all, just the sweetness? Sweet Baby Ray’s is from Illinois, lol.
True....but still...sweet baby rays is really really good tho 😍
I'm from Alabama and BBQ ribs are my favorite food. Never had the white sauce before though. I always liked vinegar based Carolina sauce
I'd love to see you cover international BBQ! Korean, Aussie, even Mongol, etc - Plenty to work with.
I second this!
In American English usage in the Southern U.S, grilling refers to a fast process over high heat while barbecuing refers to a slow process using indirect heat or hot smoke, similar to some forms of roasting. In a typical U.S. home grill, food is cooked on a grate directly over hot charcoal, while in a U.S. barbecue the coals are dispersed to the sides or at a significant distance from the grate. However in the Northern U.S. the term barbecuing includes grilling; for example in northern states barbecue fare often includes grilled hot dogs and hamburgers (which in the southern states would be considered fare for grilling or a cookout). The English word barbecue and its cognates in other languages come from the Native-American Taino word barbacoa. Etymologists believe this to be derived from barabicu found in the language of the Arawak people of the Caribbean and the Timucua people of Florida; it has entered some European languages in the form of barbacoa.
South African braai boooiiii 🇿🇦
Happy that I'm from Texas when it comes to BBQ! The only con is that it's so good that we don't really get any other types of BBQ here. Would love to try BBQ from other states
P.S. I've heard that Buc-ee's (a gas station) BBQ can hold its own against many other styles. Anyone outside of Texas try it before?
I heard the same thing about Buccees. That their brisket is amazing . I've never had it, but I heard they smoke it themselves
@@kewl851 they do! You can see as they take it out and slice it up!
Brisket from buccees is decent. Definitely want to try out Goldee's bbq in Dallas though. I'm not from Texas
It absolutely can hold its own. Don’t forget the brisket tacos!
Geez louise!!! Buccees is hard to beat itz probably everyones favorite from every travel spot. Texas just loves credit
How could you miss Eastern NC?! That's my favorite
I love pulled pork with vinegar sauce and Texas Pete topped with slaw Wilmington/Carolina Beach style.
@@KevinWindsor1971 Yeah I travel through there every few years from Florida and always make sure to get that vinegar pulled pork with that amazing slaw. Love me some slaw dogs too lol.
yes yes yes!!! you are so right!!!
if you are in Texas, you should visit the Sawyer Family BBQ restaurant. Their meat is "very special"
Roadkill meat or weird Asian cuisine meat?
@@bigboiganiga8356 Nah humans. The Sawyer family is the fictional family in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre series, who happen to be cannibals and use humans as their meat.
You say that, but I had the BBQ @ The Gas Station in Bastrop. The BBQ was to die for! Seriously, it's more of a tourist trap if anything.
My favorite is Baltimore Pit Beef, but y'all totally skipped over Eastern North Carolina vinegar-based whole-hog BBQ.
Yeah, super bummed they skipped Baltimore pit beef. Thinly sliced pit beef, thin sliced onions that are soaked in water, a horseradish sauce or thin vinegar based bbq sauce served on a roll or white bread wrapped in aluminum foil from a stand on the side of the road. I had this served for my wedding along with old bay pit chicken.
Agreed!
sounds delicious
Get that NC douchehog y’all!!
Your video was awesome. Noted on your 'map of the south' you included Maryland, but no mention of Baltimore Pit Beef? Would love to see that in a future video. Great stuff!
You guys should do tacos next!
I said it on the last video, but I’ll say it again. This series is awesome and I will watch every video y’all put out in it. Definitely gonna have to do one on sandwiches!
Texas for brisket and sausage, St. Louis for ribs, SC for pulled pork and Memphis for best all around! I have had the good fortune to live in all of these places !
Great vid as usual guys loved taht you been touching on the styles of food in the US to show how diverse everything is
Exactly it's nice to get a spotlight on actual American/US food that originated here
@@greenmachine5600 I cannot walk into YOUR Canadian KFC's to order food without knowing how to speak French! - Da hell's wrong witchu people up there? Imma gonna slappa da snot outta yo face wit da wet spahetti. Mama Mia!!!
good to know that there are multiple bbq styles
You didn't know that before?
@@greenmachine5600 no that’s why i said it
There is one US barbecue you forgot - Puerto Rican BBQ and its famous whole hog on a spit.
So proud to be texan when it comes to BBQ lol
The white BBQ sauce sounds interesting.
My uncle made a BBQ sauce that consisted of mustard, brown sugar and instant coffee.
My aunt's BBQ sauce was made with honey and mustard.
If you ever get a chance to try it, it's not just great on pork or chicken, but also on fries or a baked potato. Fabulous french fry dipping sauce at a smokehouse at a bare minimum
my grandma used to add a pinch of instant coffee to all kinds of dishes.
@@chrisf.3514 Sanka.
Here in North Alabama, it’s the way to go! Weirdly enough though, a lot of the more traditional family-owned places in my NW Alabama city have always had more vinegar-based sauces, so there’s definitely a mix.
As much as I love mayonnaise, surprisingly white sauce isn't something I gravitate to.
Mentions KCK, shows b-roll that’s literally KCMO. Come on, KCK has some spots but its mostly in KCMO.
Yeah, that was kinda lame. I know this channel has some quality content, but there are a lot of little mistakes they leave in like that that really bug me.
It’s worse that they were clearly talking about KCMO the entire time. Chalk it up to a misinformed/clumsy editor I guess :/
Did I miss Eastern Carolina vinegar based? I didn't hear about it ...
Left out New Mexico. Pit roasted pork with our state’s chile
This is the curse of having lived all over the south, you become hooked on key pieces of various region's styles. My tastes have developed into Carolina pork shoulder with Memphis sweet sauces, slow-smoked over mesquite a la Texas, with a side of fries drizzled in Alabama white sauce. Even better when served on a lunch plate with mac salad and sticky rice, an addiction I gained while stationed at Pearl.
If I had to stick purely with one style, though, it'd likely have to be Hawaiian. It's still super hard to beat Kahlua pork, Korean short ribs, or loco moco with white rice, mac salad, and a King's Hawaiian bun or two to soak up the remaining juices.
Couldn't agree more. My family has lived in Vegas for over 25 years now and I lived there for over five years myself years back. The valley has more Hawaiians living there than any other place other than Hawaii, and there's a Hawaiian restaurant on every corner. I quickly made some Hawaiian friends where I lived and got turned onto Kahlua Pork, Kalbi ribs, Terri beef, Lau Lau etc...and always gotta have the mac salad with plenty of chili water and furikake for my rice. 🤙🤙🤙
I was at Shafter and I miss the bbq pizza from the big kahuna. And I loved the chicken katsu plate lunches
Arizona has a style that’s a great mix of West Texas, Sonora, and California that includes red/green sauce. Green sauce BBQ shrimp tacos out here are insanely good
Great content as always! I can't choose a favorite without trying them all!
Boy, I like this content already. Good and interesting. Weird History Food never ceases to amaze.
Gosh I *LOVED* your regular Weird History channel and I absolutely adore this new channel. Keep it up!
Enjpy that BBQ, currently on a video game break but just wanted to say I see you! Undead main usually
Missed St Louis, but i guess it is a mix of Kansas and Memphis. You have Pappys, Steller Hog, Salt & Smoke!
Agreed. Our main thing is definitely ribs though. Cut off the pork tips (leave those for KC), and serve me a square of spare ribs. Use that signature dry rub, and then smother it with all kinds of bbq sauce. So good.
Wow, wasn't expecting such a quality video!!!
interesting video, but you missed smoked bologna from Oklahoma. No one knows exactly where it came from, but people think it originated because a lot of people living here can't afford more expensive cuts. It's real weird, but it tastes good, and it's a staple of every good barbecue place in the state.
this comment makes a really good point. I think bbq originated as a form of affordable meats, and affordable protein meals that could feed a lot of people. the bbq Bologna , isnt it thick cut? im trying to remember if it's the Bologna that is thick cut and served with white bread, but I could be wrong.
@@kewl851 It depends. Most people who smoke it cut it themselves from a bigger log if bologna.
Thanks for showing Chicago love, because their the rib tips and bbq sauces are very underrated around the country..
You forgot Eastern Carolina BBQ, vinegar sauce without mustard or ketchup. Also St Louis style BBQ.
My husband grew up in rural Alabama and no matter where we live (we've lived north in Pennsylvania and south in Florida and west in Oklahoma) BBQ is always eaten with white sauce. We've got a jar of it in the fridge right now. 😂
omg. the white sauce is watered down mayonnaise
Def needed a mention of St. Louis-style; distinctly different from KC or Memphis, plus a big local love for Boston butt, or as we call it, pork steak, since it includes the shoulder blade bone-in on the cut (also called pork blade steak in the early 1900s). Usually prefer cooking the meat with seasoning over medium-high heat, then finishing in a covered sauce pan over low heat or in an oven for an hour or more. Def recommend checking out Pappy's, Salt and Smoke or one of dozens of other local favorites 'round here; even the local breweries have some good BBQ!
For me... Kansas City. They do a bit of everything and they do it well. That said, there are some regional varieties that I also appreciate. Memphis dry rub, smoked baby back ribs with a vinegar mop, and so on are yet more options. Having also lived in Hawaii, I also enjoy the plate lunch as much as anything else.
Carolina all the way! I am not a sweet barbecue fan, and the mustard sauce is so good! I can even deal with the ketchup based sauces, because they, too, are not sweet.
I've ate bbq from Hawaii to Michigan to Florida and I'll stand on Cooter Brown's Rib Shack in Jacksonville, AL. It's hard to find but it's worth the search.
Love that you guys got footage of Smokin and Grillin with AB in there at CA
I wouldn’t really call it BBQ… but here in maryland we have the famous pit beef ! Amazing ! Nothing like it
Baltimore Pit Beef, man. It’s such a tiny portion of the national BBQ conversation that it pretty much always gets overlooked.
Didn't even realize I hadn't subscribed to the channel. These episodes are so easy to binge watch, just have to eat before watching them.
I'm from Texas so THAT'S a thing here (glad you put us 1st). But honestly, this is one of the BEST depictions of the varieties of BBQ in the land of the BEST BBQ on URRF!!!
LOL Elvis riding that pig!! Great video at always!
As a native central Texan BBQ brisket is life here, I have some in the fridge right now. It's best with tortillas mexican rice and beans it's the most excellent delicacy. 👌
I'd never heard of Alabama BBQ until this video. Thanks for the history lesson. Hawaiian BBQ seemed the most interesting the one I'd like to try the most.
It may sound gross using mayo for the sauce, but it's surprisingly delicious. Especially with smoked chicken.
amazing video!!! love it!
a weird history episode and a weird history food episode….yay
Glad you included Chicago...and showed Lem's...which is Legendary. Did want to mention, the rib tips that were made famous here are pork...and NOT beef. They are the cartilaginous tips of the pork spare ribs, which used to be thrown out, which made them an extremely cheap choice of meat, at least back in the day. They are amazingly good...by far my favorite BBQ meat.
My mouth is watering the whole time.
would love to see a video on al the tacos of america!!
Glad to see my state BBQ represented here!!!
Chicago wow, it is so GOOD!
Love your content, I watch every video...I can't believe that St. Louis was not in this video
Eating biscuits and watching this feels pretty good, in the middle of the night
I'm glad you didn't skip Kentucky BBQ, but I wish you'd mentioned the western Kentucky tradition of BBQ chicken.
Yeah, but could you really categorize chicken into BBQ? That's a ever constant question among BBQ and Chicken experts.
Totally missed the distinctive eastern style barbecue in North Carolina, can’t believe you only talked about the western style. Disappointed
BBQ,Whiskey,and pyro are a few of my favorite things.
Can't believe you got South Carolina right - we are famous for our mustard sauce, and nothing in the world tastes better. As for requests, one of my favorite things to do while traveling is sample food sold for fund raisers. Here in SC we sell barbeque to raise money, but also have pancake breakfasts and shrimp fries and lowcountry boils. When I lived in Delaware we found out about chicken with slick dumpling dinner sales and muskrat sandwiches (okay I didn't try those but tons of people love them). Fund raiser foods please!
'nothing in the world tastes better' That's just something someone would say that may end up in a shouting match if other Barbecue enthusiasts were to hear it.
@@BeyondDaX To each his own :)
Hi 👋
Amazing
Shame, they did not mention Eastern Style NC BBQ. The Vinegar based sauce is simply the best.
I dunno, whenever someone say best when it comes to BBQ. People are gonna debate
Amen. Hometown Mooresville NC
I like the vinegar based...and I'm in western NY
You might hate me for saying this but I can't stand vinegar based sauce. Mustard is the way to go for me.
@@Ashened0 to each its own sir. We all have different taste.
California, New York, and Hawaii has amazing “American Cantonese Barbecue” with pork from German and Asian immigrants. Pork Shoulder, Pork Belly, and Roast Duck/Goose/Chicken are common ingredients
Never heard of tri-tip before moving to California. Mighty good. Before that, KC. Still love it. Texas brisket also delicious.
Woof! I was gonna be ultra bummed if Santa Maria style wasn't mentioned. My great grandpa founded Jacko's and though it's not super well known outside of the Central Coast, tritip, beer and butter basted chicken thighs, linguica sausage, beans and garlic bread are an incredible American BBQ tradition!
You forgot the salad with Ranch or Catalina dressing.
Here from the 1440 email newspaper link.
Also- as a Texan, I'm in sincere appreciation of the thoroughness with which you explained Texas bbq. While we are the best, imo, acknowledging the influences is important. Much respect to Tennessee tho as their bbq is also unmatched in its own league.
How do you get the caramelized edges and keep the brisket well done inside, OMG you're videos are so mouth-watering, I don't live in Texas anymore I miss the BBQ the most
Chicago Hot links and beef tips with fries and a slice of white bread! I used to get mine at a ppace called Mississippi Ricks off of 35th and King Drive.
Loved it!
A delicious episode🍽
Traditional central Texas BBQ is smoked with post oak, so named because the wood was once thought to be only good for making fence posts. However, it contributes a vanilla aroma, as vanillin is very easy to synthesize from oak because it is a very simple organic phenolic aldehyde. The brisket from Franklin BBQ tastes like vanilla because it is smoked with post oak.
Thank you for using my suggestion!!!
This channel has my favorite narrator ever. Did you used to work with Travel Channel or History Channel? I swear, I've heard your voice somewhere else before.
What a video...made me crave for BBQ!
BBQ is the perfect summer meal in USA! Pulled pork sandwiches and slaw, ribs are so delicious, I am making myself hungry just thinking about it! 😂❤️🤤
Now I want bbq! KC is my fav style. Try good Jack’s Stack for a delicious time…no matter what meat you like!
You nailed Texas right on!
I met Olly Gates. Couldn't get waited on to pick up my ribs, went home, called up and complained next thing I know he shows up at my door with a triple order of ribs, baked beans, coleslaw ect. Great business man. Friendly man. Used to eat at Arthur Bryant's sometimes too.
South Carolina pulled pork with mustard bbq sauce has to be my favorite. But Central Texas brisket with a red sauce is pretty great too.
I like them all!!
No mention of st.louis?!
This is pretty doggone complete.
Thanks for acknowledging Kentucky's BBQ. We here in Western Kentucky don't have a lot but what we have we are insanely proud of. As for Boston Butt those make the best BBQ sandwiches. They're not too expensive and can be shredded in a crock pot crazy easily. And they make delicious pork steaks too.
Waiting for your burger episode and for MN to show off its Jucy Lucy! Matt's bar is way better than 58.
juicy Lucy (or "Jucy") is so overdone. Matt's bar, also has been exhaustingly marketed on TV. ppl are over it.
Was trying to see if I could find what I called "Evansville, Indiana" style barbecue in my youth, typified by Wolf's barbecue restaurant or "Big B" sold in jars - generally slow cooked pork cut in slices or chunks, and marinated in a somewhat thin tomato-based BBQ sauce.
I love mutton. There isn't anything else quite like it
Wow! You actually talked about Kentucky style! I’m impressed!
Texas is my favorite bbq because it isn't so messy. Sauce is good, but I feel the slather job overpowers the meat where serving dry and applying sauce gives a better ratio to complement the meat.
