You ever notice how they never talk about the BBQ in nice places to live? Like nobody is ever going on about the amazing BBQ in Manhattan or Amsterdam or wherever.

I'm not saying that there is no good barbecue in nice towns, nor that the barbecue in bumfuckfvlle Texas Missouri wherever isn't amazing, it's just that it seems to be a barometer of how lovely a place is. Like when there is nothing else in your world you hyper focus on creating/consuming the finest barbecued meats in the world and their sauces, it fills the void perfectly. Then you blather on and on endlessly about how your barbecue is a million times better than the barbecue a hundred miles away is shitsville Missouri and that consumes your whole life.

I'll be it's just amazing, but even if you could eat it every day and it gave you an orgasm and the BBQ joint paid you $100 every time you ate there it's still a horrible idea because you have to live in bumfuckville Texas so gently caress that poo poo.

it's because places people actually live tend to have fire codes which make it hard to have an open wood fire on premises for 12 hours a day so bbq joints worth eating at are located in shitholes by necessity

This is why I was so disappointing with Charlotte (I travel there for business sometimes). The food in that city is mostly... mediocre.

Since then though, numerous Southerners have tried to tell me that Charlotte doesn't count for some reason. Well, they have the "Reverend Billy Graham" highway, so that's plenty rear end-backwards redneck in my book.

charlotte sucks and isn't a real city


That Works posted:

Charlotte has been long overrun with transplants from everywhere so it has sorta changed the town into more bland/ broad appeal americana as opposed to its original character. See also: Austin, TX.

it doesn't even have any original character since it was a two-stoplight cow town until the 70s

midwest "cuisine" is basically what happens when you leave a couple 6 year olds home alone for too long, they start getting hungry, and they cobble together whatever they can from what's in reach and doesn't require effort to make

I'm a midwesterner and I agree that we just aren't known for good food.

On the other hand I can drive 10 miles out and buy freshly butchered steak for a tenth of what you'd have to pay on the coast for the same cut, so it's not all bad.

there's a lot of local farms in the south now doing grass-fed beef and the prices are the same as you'd find in good meat markets in the midwest

Whoa. I make fun of the guy, but Obama is nowhere near as bad as Lincoln was.

Lincoln was more like the Bush 2 of his time. Both were Republicans who only got elected by committing a ton of voter fraud, and then proceeded to kill civil liberties (note: not talking "the right to own slaves" or anything stupid like that but rather things like the Habeas Corpus Suspension Act of 1863 and Lincoln arresting any reporter who dared criticize his presidency). Both imprisoned people without trials or due process. Both invaded foreign countries. Neither cared about black people.
