Message: [QUOTE="August_West, post: 4740139, member: 1047"] 1) I said Georgia, not anywhere. I had better BBQ in Mass at BT’s. But…… 2) I don’t disagree. It was actually the fried okra side and collard greens with smoked ham hocks that I remembered best from that gas station . The chopped Brisket was good ( and I’m not a chopped brisket guy , but that’s how they do in GA. I usually want to see the slices) I don’t consider a refined palate as a barrier for determining great BBQ like other more esoteric forms of cooking. It’s obviously a simple food, and it’s either really bad or really good depending on a cook knows time and temp . If they do, and you’re at a place that doesn’t hold too long, you won’t see a huge difference. Making great fried chicken ( for example) is way harder than great BBQ [/QUOTE]
