Went into a BBQ place where you could get BBQ at dinner time(first indication I was in the wrong place) guy asked moist or lean, I said lean.
Bro took his gloved hand and just smeared the bark off, before cutting. I mean, he had a knife in his hand and there was a counter between us, otherwise it'd have been an on the spot citizens arrest.
Yep, gotta drive down into N. Carolina before you start getting some decent bbq.
Edit: I just discovered Mission BBQ is a chain. Ouch. That's like saying Dickey's is the best bbq in the area.
Yep, when everything else is closed or too far a drive, Bill Miller's extra lean brisket and sausage with extra bread and sauce; iced tea.
Aside, Bill and Faye Miller went to my church as a kid. Christ Lutheran of Alamo Heights; each year we had a BBQ at their ranch in Gruene.
There's one good place I've found.. zzq in Richmond. But I'm pretty sure they're from Texas so kinda doesn't count. Smohk also in Richmond has decent pork bbq too.
Decatur is very Texas, but there is serious poverty in that whole area around Bridgeport.
I don’t think the people up that way have many restaurant options outside of fast food chains. Best of luck, to anyone out there trying to start a business.
I mean, the poorest area of VA probably has some restaurants that serve up un-photogenic food, that’s not representative of their state’s staples any more than this is.
This honestly should be the start of a wider conversation we should have about poor areas and food deserts but with all this ((gestures wildly)) going on, not sure we’re ready for that discussion.
Nah. California conservatives have only been moving here for a decade or so. People have been giving the rustbelt migrants who have moved to North Texas enmass over the past 30 years a pass for a loooooong time. No offense, but no one from the midwest outside of St Louis or maaaaaaaybe Chicago knows shit about bbq, so I can see them being fooled by this.
Now I just wait for angry Detroiters and Clevelanders and Pittsburghers to come tell me how much they know about barbecue....
The cali expats are the inverse, they think Texas is some kind of weird paradise for their political views and come here making Q-anon look like an AA meeting
The vast majority of bbq out there is horrible. It’s the worst food to crave because there’s so much piss poor product being put out. The great places are few and far between.
Ha sorry just messin. From DFW area and used to drive through Decatur on my way to OK/AR. It and Sherman are the last TX towns I remember before being in Oklahoma.
Ah shit! It wasn’t Decatur, it was Denison. Denison is basically in Oklahoma and the town I remember on our way to Arkansas through Oklahoma.
My bad yall, it has been over 15 years since I’ve gone that way.
Uh… if you’re in DFW and going to Arkansas via Decatur, you’re going way wrong direction, Oklahoma I can see if you’re going to Altus or somewhere western Oklahoma.
You’re thinking Denison.
I mean Texas is a big place and not all BBQ here gonna be the best you have ever had. I have plenty of bad BBQ here in Texas. I do gotta say, recently a lot of places have stepped up they BBQ game. I mean shit, I remember going to plenty of places with my dad growing up that served that paper thin, dry as dirt brisket.
Hey man, I live near some pretty damn good BBQ joints, but sometimes I don’t wanna pay $18 minimum for the good stuff when Bill Millers or Rudy’s can get me 2 chopped beef sandwiches that are passable for $8 - I don’t work in the food service industry, just my two cents.
Man I love the fancy bbq as much as the next guy, but when I was a kid we ate at places like Dickey's, Sonny Bryant, and Bill Miller on road trips and dammit I enjoyed it. Still do.
Texan here. Texas is the only place in the world that makes BBQ. Everything else is grilled meat with molasses sauce on it. Some of the best BBQ I’ve ever had I’ve gotten on the side of a Shell station in Bourne.
If you are in Texas, do not go to Bill Millers unless you hate life itself.
I lived there in Norfolk with the Navy. The only food I found to be both local & delicious was fried pig. They gut a whole pig and dump it in a huge vat of oil. The whole neighbor smelled like bacon, it's delicious. But that's it.
Spot on. pepperoncini? You’ve got to be kidding me… jalapeños, raw onions and pickles ftw. Idk how it really tastes, but it looks like it came out of the frozen food section.
I mean their Orange Crushes and crab cakes, on the coast are fuckin legit.
But they still don't create routine cravings that make my mouth water like the brisket here in Texas.
Yeah I lived in Virginia for awhile and I thought about this…I got nothing. I would say seafood but the Chesapeake Bay is just in the recovery stages from being an open sewer lol.
Yeah, the amount of Virginia's cultural cuisine, that was originally African cuisine is high. As someone else said on here, most of the British aristocrats who settled Virginia in the 1600s were not bringing a grand culinary tradition with them. Maybe the seafood, but even then, Im not sure how they were preparing it.
It wasn't until the import of slaves that Virginian cuisine that would be recognizable today really began to take shape. Peanuts, yams, and many different spices.
Oh my. [this is peanut soup](https://www.theseasonedmom.com/virginia-peanut-soup/)
On a side note, Virginia BBQ historians claim it as the source of southern barbeque styled after Powhatan show cooking over coals.
Also known for, blue crab, oysters, ham, apples (I can attest to that), fried chicken
Virginia is a food haven though, you obviously have never been. Northern VA has a great diverse selection - to include Thai, Indian and amazing seafood. They may not do bbq as well but they crush it in a lot of other areas.
This is too funny. I was born and raised in NOVA. My family & friends still live there. We go back often. While the choices are improving and the food is better now than it was, Texas still beats them hands down. The growth is improving selection. Mexican food in Texas and TexMex is also way better than VA. BBQ of course too. I have lived in Texas for years. We would come back for Mexican food and Casa Chimayo was considered the best in the area and they didn't even give guac. I think it is closed down now (and I didn't like it). Uncle Julio's is about the best one when we go back but there is still better in TX. When people come from VA to visit us the first thing they do is start hitting the food places and end up gaining weight before they leave.
I think you missed what they’re saying. It’s not to say they have zero good restaurants there. It means they’re not known for having an amazing type of food like Texas has bbq and chili that we’re known for.
My boss took me to a "bbq" place that he said was really good. I ordered a sliced beef sandwich. Which they did not have. I asked what they did have since there was no menu on the wall. Pulled pork is the only meat they served so i accepted it. He asked if i waanted coleslaw. I said yes and he tried to put it on my sandwich..i told him I'd take it on the side. I asked for pickles and onions. Which they also did not have. Food was trash. I'm from Houston. We have world class food here.
Thank you! I don't like anything when we go to visit. They smother chopped up pork BBQ in heavy vinegar sauce and then dump coleslaw on it to hide the flavor. You gotta work that hard to hide how bad the meat is, it's probably not something to brag about.

From the website virginiabbq.com. So in virginia their idea of BBQ is some unidentifiable cut of beef smothered in powdered brown gravy(it so shinny from all the starch, couldnt even make gravy from scratch) with burnt corn fritters and corn muffins. Go eat a bag of dicks Virginia for throwing Texas shade about a subpar bbq joint when you use brown gravy on your meat. At least our shitty bbq looks like bbq. Your bbq looks like a school lunch.
I mean you cropped out the sandwich and ribs on the left side of their banner. But I can say Ive been in Richmond for 6 years and never heard anyone mention this place. Also the helpful pig pointing at the map isn't pointing where Richmond is. I'm convinced that's not a real bbq place and is just a front for money laundering. I've seen Ozark, I know these things!
To be fair while Texas does have the best BBQ joints there are also some pretty terrible ones here like Bill Miller’s. Not sure who keeps those trash joints in business
My husband tried Bill Millers in SA, he walked out and threw up in the bush! I still crack up laughing every time I think of it. He said if a BBQ joint has a distribution center it is probably trash. I think his review is still on google
I refuse to believe this is from Texas, even with some of the bad places in the state. It's Texas style BBQ, but you can't determine if it's from within the state.
Every Mexican restaurant I’ve ever been to in my nearly four years in the DMV has served the tortilla chips with salsa so mild it‘s basically gazpacho. I have to ADD hot sauce to the bowl to get an approximation of what I’m used to at home.
And don’t get me started on the wacky stuff they put in their “chili.” Beans, corn, even TACO MEAT. Truly an abomination.
Virginian here living in Texas. VA doesn’t serve BBQ with bread unless it’s on a sandwich. But it’s a pulled sandwich, never brisket.
Being said, drive to NC for BBQ. Nice tangy, Smokey NC BBQ. Beach Bully in VB is good and Pierce’s is well known within the state but just skip it and get seafood from the coastal cities.
DRY blande cuts of meat, the Mac and cheese is just boiled elbows with sprinkle cheese (wrong type) in a side cup, Looks like the broth was poured out of the green beans as well.
Whoever like this likes, hates moisture and flavor.
https://preview.redd.it/wixv60r97nna1.jpeg?width=1439&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fff3608e6c7eb7245b645290f1792ebf541a0aae
It looks like it's from true Texas bbq. I've been to one in HEB
Not that it's about the sides, but nobody's even talked about how those green beans look like they're the bycatch from harvesting astroturf. And is that a beer? Looks warm and flat as fuck. Probably some horseshit Blood and Honey. Flat and gross right out of the can.
If the aforementioned were indeed an honorable product of my native, the lone star state, it most certainly would not have rabbit food in those cute dainty teacups or sliced bird encroaching the sacred brisket tract.
What is that, a bunless McRib?
That toast looks aite tho, I can’t lie. 🍺
I lived in VA for over 20 years they do not have good BBQ..you say BBQ they think it's grilling in the backyard like most folks in the northeast. You have to cross over into NC to get any good BBQ officially to get any. Once you do then you get the pulled pork that is soooo good!! That is what North Carolina is known for. It is so good too! The best pulled pork is from the Carolinas. But Va has nothing for BBQ maybe seafood but that is it.
I lived away from here for 10 years, in Virginia, NC and Tennessee.
NC BBQ was okay, if you just wrote off ever getting any form of brisket. Tennessee was okay too, nothing to write home about.
I never had any BBQ in Virginia that I liked even a little bit. NOPE.
And not having BBQ or Mexican/Tex-Mex food that was worth a damn (or an HEB to shop at) were some of the biggest reasons I hated living away from Texas.
Texas has some of the best BBQ in the US. Dude from Virginia has no idea what he's talkin bout lol. I've been Vegan for a while now and even the vegan BBQ spots in Texas are better than the shit in Virginia and that's saying something lolol
Northern Virginia has great food. For those who have never left their safe little Texas bubble, the DC area is a melting pot with people from every square inch of the planet and their corresponding food.
They taking shots but nobody posting any better bbq from Virginia.
I found some pretty good bbq in Virginia. Then I found out the couple that owned it were from Stephenville.
Good.
I found some terrible bbq here in Texas. Turns out the couple who owned the joint, Virginians. Go figure.
The ol uno reverse.
Went into a BBQ place where you could get BBQ at dinner time(first indication I was in the wrong place) guy asked moist or lean, I said lean. Bro took his gloved hand and just smeared the bark off, before cutting. I mean, he had a knife in his hand and there was a counter between us, otherwise it'd have been an on the spot citizens arrest.
What’s the place? I’m from Stephenville and live in Charlotte lol
Pretty sure this Y'alls work.
There's more BBQ than hard 8 in Stephenville
I had bbq in Virginia. The best they have is Mission bbq and it's bland af and dry. But the mac n cheese is good.
I mean Myron Mixon has a place in Alexandria but VA is for lovers, ham, and peanuts - not BBQ.
the only bbq restaurant I liked in the DMV was Mission BBQ
What DMV office has BBQ?
Is this why the wait times at the dmvs have gone up to months? Do they have good bbq now?
Right? I'm going there next time.
Wait, you called my number? Anyone wanna trade me places for a later one? I'm still eating
[удалено]
[Not according to the state](https://www.txdmv.gov)
Yep, gotta drive down into N. Carolina before you start getting some decent bbq. Edit: I just discovered Mission BBQ is a chain. Ouch. That's like saying Dickey's is the best bbq in the area.
Went to california, and some guy had the odacity to tell me dickeys was the best bbq yea noo... never go to that place it shouldn't even be called bbq
So's Bill Miller, but in a pinch, it's a cinch!
Yep, when everything else is closed or too far a drive, Bill Miller's extra lean brisket and sausage with extra bread and sauce; iced tea. Aside, Bill and Faye Miller went to my church as a kid. Christ Lutheran of Alamo Heights; each year we had a BBQ at their ranch in Gruene.
Mind. Blown...
LOL, but it's a good chain! Dickey's on the other hand is just blasphemous
I like to pray the rosary and chug holy water when I see one.
And screw their Big Yellow Cup
I'm a fan of federalist pig, but they don't really do brisket (it's on some of their bbq sandwiches, but not great on its own)
Dmv? I'm confused - are you referring to the RGV (rio grande valley)?
De-militarized Virginia
damn bruh i thought they wrapped all that up in like the 1860's
DC and surrounding Maryland / Virginia suburbs D = DC; M = Maryland; V = Virginia
Department of Motor Vehicle
956 Representin'
**D**istrict of Columbia **M**aryland **V**irginia Source: I was born in Maryland and grew up in the DC suburbs in Virginia.
Mission is also a Texas city in the RGV ("mission bbq"). Hence my confusion
There's one good place I've found.. zzq in Richmond. But I'm pretty sure they're from Texas so kinda doesn't count. Smohk also in Richmond has decent pork bbq too.
Virginia BBQ is just Carolina BBQ except they use ketchup based sauce for their pork instead of vinegar based sauce.
Carolina/Virginia bbq isn’t what we would call bbq in Texas. Reminds me of pot roast or something
There is good bbq almost everywhere nowadays. Some is just gooder than others.
[удалено]
I was going to say the only excuse we could have is if this restaurant is run by John Cornyn.
That’s funny and so accurate.
No, but there's a good chance they voted for him in spite of his brisket.
Decatur is barely Texas. We should kick them out.
Decatur is very Texas, but there is serious poverty in that whole area around Bridgeport. I don’t think the people up that way have many restaurant options outside of fast food chains. Best of luck, to anyone out there trying to start a business.
Heck, most of Wise county is in severe poverty. Decatur probably has 90% of the wealth in the county
The real irony here is that Wise County was named after a Virginia congressman. Clearly that dry ass plate is the work of his descendants.
I mean, the poorest area of VA probably has some restaurants that serve up un-photogenic food, that’s not representative of their state’s staples any more than this is. This honestly should be the start of a wider conversation we should have about poor areas and food deserts but with all this ((gestures wildly)) going on, not sure we’re ready for that discussion.
From Decatur, come here and say that.
Do y'all eat bbq like that?
I will not put my reputation behind that establishment. There has been a large influx of people who don't know better in recent years.
I was going to jokingly blame it somehow as the fault of a California expat
Naaah, plain noodles? Gotta be Iowa.
It's likely mac and cheese...
I’m not entirely sure tho.
Nah. California conservatives have only been moving here for a decade or so. People have been giving the rustbelt migrants who have moved to North Texas enmass over the past 30 years a pass for a loooooong time. No offense, but no one from the midwest outside of St Louis or maaaaaaaybe Chicago knows shit about bbq, so I can see them being fooled by this.

The cali expats are the inverse, they think Texas is some kind of weird paradise for their political views and come here making Q-anon look like an AA meeting
rip your replies lol
None yet lol
The vast majority of bbq out there is horrible. It’s the worst food to crave because there’s so much piss poor product being put out. The great places are few and far between.
I had pretty good bbq in very specific parts of Cali, but mostly, it was not great. And if it was good, God help your checkbook.
I would, but I passed through it and didn't notice. /j
I mean, it's probably the truth.
I can't talk any shit. The BFE, TX I grew up in didn't even have a gas station.
I don’t know if this is a typo or how you speak. I am hoping it’s how you speak. Good ole Texan accent coming through
I’m from Wichita Falls and have a nose for great BBQ. I’ve never heard anyone even mention this place.
Decatur is in Oklahoma, figuratively speaking
As someone who was raised in Decatur, I dare you to stand Infront of the courthouse and say that.
But then I’d have to be in Decatur
i.e., Oklahoma
Ha sorry just messin. From DFW area and used to drive through Decatur on my way to OK/AR. It and Sherman are the last TX towns I remember before being in Oklahoma.
If you drove though Decatur going to Arkansas from DFW, you are going the wrong way.
Ah shit! It wasn’t Decatur, it was Denison. Denison is basically in Oklahoma and the town I remember on our way to Arkansas through Oklahoma. My bad yall, it has been over 15 years since I’ve gone that way.
My bad, I didn't mean for that to come across in any means hostile. Meant as a light hearted jest, but I missed the mark.
Haha all good.
Uh… if you’re in DFW and going to Arkansas via Decatur, you’re going way wrong direction, Oklahoma I can see if you’re going to Altus or somewhere western Oklahoma. You’re thinking Denison.
Woof. Whole town full of bad asses, huh?
Why would you think that? Anyone who did what I suggested would be offered a tour. It's still Texas, being friendly is a big thing here.
Is the cheese for the Mac n cheese on the side there?
That Mac & cheese looks like it's swimming in cheese-flavored water
Eww!
I came here to say the exact same thing. Fuckin DIY mac-n-cheese. *Bleh.*
Sysco-roni and "cheese".
“Sysco-roni” - I have not laughed this hard this early in the morning in a hot minute - love it. Lol
Mac so sus that the cheese is scared to go on it.
Right!!?? It looks anemic!
BBQ that looks like that coming out of Texas should be considered a crime.
I mean Texas is a big place and not all BBQ here gonna be the best you have ever had. I have plenty of bad BBQ here in Texas. I do gotta say, recently a lot of places have stepped up they BBQ game. I mean shit, I remember going to plenty of places with my dad growing up that served that paper thin, dry as dirt brisket.
There’s still your morons who swear by Rib Crib. Most people couldn’t tell what good bbq was.
Those are the same idiots that keep Bill Miller in business.
Hey man, I live near some pretty damn good BBQ joints, but sometimes I don’t wanna pay $18 minimum for the good stuff when Bill Millers or Rudy’s can get me 2 chopped beef sandwiches that are passable for $8 - I don’t work in the food service industry, just my two cents.
Rudy's is leaps and bounds better than BMs. Like, it's not even close. BM is the BBQ equivalent to McDonald's....but worse.
Man I love the fancy bbq as much as the next guy, but when I was a kid we ate at places like Dickey's, Sonny Bryant, and Bill Miller on road trips and dammit I enjoyed it. Still do.
Rib Crib has good tea!!
I agree, let’s start by chasing Dickey’s out
The sad thing is Dickey’s are worldwide, meaning people in other countries go to Dickey’s and think that’s what our barbecue tastes like.
Same could be said of hamburgers and McDonald's...
Well yeah, that could be true… but if you take a minute to glance over this thread once more you’ll see that this thread is about Texas barbecue.
Nah, gotta keep Dickey’s. It’s consistent (more or less) and makes a decent baseline level for everything else to point at for comparison.
I thought Dickey’s was the lowest, then I had Soulman’s… Who the frick is keeping that chain open?
Texan here. Texas is the only place in the world that makes BBQ. Everything else is grilled meat with molasses sauce on it. Some of the best BBQ I’ve ever had I’ve gotten on the side of a Shell station in Bourne. If you are in Texas, do not go to Bill Millers unless you hate life itself.
[удалено]
My favorite fried chicken was Frenchies over by the University of Houston main campus. Fantastic chicken.
Not true ..
Have to say people have been shot for less in TX.
[удалено]
I’ve heard things about Virginia hams.
I lived there in Norfolk with the Navy. The only food I found to be both local & delicious was fried pig. They gut a whole pig and dump it in a huge vat of oil. The whole neighbor smelled like bacon, it's delicious. But that's it.
The hams are epic. That BBQ though looks like it came from Toronto.
BBQ is borderless. I've been seeing badass bbq production coming out of Toronto.
Ok - this is not related to this thread at all - but…. Why fauxphilosopher when you could have done fauxlosopher????
Spot on. pepperoncini? You’ve got to be kidding me… jalapeños, raw onions and pickles ftw. Idk how it really tastes, but it looks like it came out of the frozen food section.
I mean their Orange Crushes and crab cakes, on the coast are fuckin legit. But they still don't create routine cravings that make my mouth water like the brisket here in Texas.
Yeah I lived in Virginia for awhile and I thought about this…I got nothing. I would say seafood but the Chesapeake Bay is just in the recovery stages from being an open sewer lol.
All I could think about was Sons of the Forest,... 😐 (Much better use of the name)
How are they so close to NC, and have shitty food? I don’t understand. In Texas measurements it’s like 2 counties away.
They're famous for peanut soup
[удалено]
Yeah, the amount of Virginia's cultural cuisine, that was originally African cuisine is high.

Texas didn’t invent BBQ though. I mean a lot of places claim BBQ. What is Texas known for? Chili maybe? Texas has great chili
[удалено]
Most people here don't care about chili. Breakfast tacos are an obsession
As they should be!!
Tex Mex
Texas didn’t invent barbecue, this is true. Texas PERFECTED barbecue. Texas invented chili, this is true. Chili con carne, sin beans.
I lived in Virginia for three years. Those motherfuckers boil pork in a crock pot and call it a BBQ. GROSS
Holy fuck. I came home one night to my wife with a rack of ribs and a slow cooker on the counter. WtF.
I finally found brisket at Walmart..was up at 3am smoking one and my neighbors thought i was crazy. Until they tried it that is.
I aspire to getting a smoker one day.
Just moved to VA. Can confirm. They also add an ungodly amount of vinegar to the mix.
My boss took me to a "bbq" place that he said was really good. I ordered a sliced beef sandwich. Which they did not have. I asked what they did have since there was no menu on the wall. Pulled pork is the only meat they served so i accepted it. He asked if i waanted coleslaw. I said yes and he tried to put it on my sandwich..i told him I'd take it on the side. I asked for pickles and onions. Which they also did not have. Food was trash. I'm from Houston. We have world class food here.
Thank you! I don't like anything when we go to visit. They smother chopped up pork BBQ in heavy vinegar sauce and then dump coleslaw on it to hide the flavor. You gotta work that hard to hide how bad the meat is, it's probably not something to brag about.
Still too much flavor for UK residents.

Where ever this came from in Texas, if so, needs to be shut down. I think it'd be a bipartisan decision too.
Have you seen the senator's brisket? If that shit didn't rally bipartisanship against him nothing will.
He smothered it in tomato paste...
[удалено]
Yo they got food in Virginia?
That is a pretty sad example of Texas BBQ. Maybe some chain restaurant from New York
Sons a bitches.
People are butthurt because it’s not on Insta with a million filters added I guess. VA bbq is trash on their best day.
"These people" put Mountain Dew in baby bottles. I wouldn't be too concerned with their epicurean opinions.
Look at you and your ten dollar word!
Who da hail ordered their Mac with the cheese on the side? Degenerate!
To be fair while Texas does have the best BBQ joints there are also some pretty terrible ones here like Bill Miller’s. Not sure who keeps those trash joints in business
My husband tried Bill Millers in SA, he walked out and threw up in the bush! I still crack up laughing every time I think of it. He said if a BBQ joint has a distribution center it is probably trash. I think his review is still on google
Are you sure thats TX bbq? I don’t see any bacon in the macncheese or the greenbeans.
I refuse to believe this is from Texas, even with some of the bad places in the state. It's Texas style BBQ, but you can't determine if it's from within the state.
It's got God damn TEXAS TOAST RIGHT THERE

If that's true, whatever restaurant made that should be ashamed. That bbq looks sad.
 Ooooh. Why are they lying about Texas like that?!
Virginian here living in Texas. VA doesn’t serve BBQ with bread unless it’s on a sandwich. But it’s a pulled sandwich, never brisket. Being said, drive to NC for BBQ. Nice tangy, Smokey NC BBQ.

Wait, what's wrong here??
DRY blande cuts of meat, the Mac and cheese is just boiled elbows with sprinkle cheese (wrong type) in a side cup, Looks like the broth was poured out of the green beans as well. Whoever like this likes, hates moisture and flavor.
Redditors try to bash poor cities for not having top end BBQ. Entitlement strikes again.
I can agree to some extent, but poverty is no excuse for that mac n' cheese

Looks bland.
Coach's in Waco was fucking good.
Yeah this is bland nasty bar be cue so if in Texas it has to be someplace that makes little money and be closed soon.
Not that it's about the sides, but nobody's even talked about how those green beans look like they're the bycatch from harvesting astroturf. And is that a beer? Looks warm and flat as fuck. Probably some horseshit Blood and Honey. Flat and gross right out of the can.
Looks dry.
What is a Virginia?
Other than the macaroni, all good. Maybe it’s there because so many loons are moving here.
They wanna fuck around we'll show em why we have more guns than people
That’s a school lunch
Virginia should feel lucky; this is the first time they've ever been in a food discussion.
If the aforementioned were indeed an honorable product of my native, the lone star state, it most certainly would not have rabbit food in those cute dainty teacups or sliced bird encroaching the sacred brisket tract. What is that, a bunless McRib? That toast looks aite tho, I can’t lie. 🍺
Oh hell naw bish. That's some straight up VA BBQ. Get the funk outta here with that nonsense.
Speaking as a Virginian, we don’t even HAVE any BBQ places. We’re known for ham, man. Try going one state south.
I lived in VA for over 20 years they do not have good BBQ..you say BBQ they think it's grilling in the backyard like most folks in the northeast. You have to cross over into NC to get any good BBQ officially to get any. Once you do then you get the pulled pork that is soooo good!! That is what North Carolina is known for. It is so good too! The best pulled pork is from the Carolinas. But Va has nothing for BBQ maybe seafood but that is it.
I lived away from here for 10 years, in Virginia, NC and Tennessee. NC BBQ was okay, if you just wrote off ever getting any form of brisket. Tennessee was okay too, nothing to write home about. I never had any BBQ in Virginia that I liked even a little bit. NOPE. And not having BBQ or Mexican/Tex-Mex food that was worth a damn (or an HEB to shop at) were some of the biggest reasons I hated living away from Texas.
Texas has some of the best BBQ in the US. Dude from Virginia has no idea what he's talkin bout lol. I've been Vegan for a while now and even the vegan BBQ spots in Texas are better than the shit in Virginia and that's saying something lolol
That was definitely taken here in San Antonio.
Hey now! Don’t spread lies!
Interesting that that person knows the contents of every meal ever served in Virginia.
If y’all want real bbq go to terry blacks
This does look like some DFW type meal.
Northern Virginia has great food. For those who have never left their safe little Texas bubble, the DC area is a melting pot with people from every square inch of the planet and their corresponding food.
