BBQ Pulled Pork

[Veronica]

Thom got it in his head to make this today. I have visions of Evil Pork Day running through my head.

Anyone up for Diablo after lunch? I can probably give you some entertainment with a green face.

Your green face and my lotsa rest stops needed on big hills, we could be quite the pair -- too bad I'm so far away! (or is it you who is far away?)

As a Southerner who spent years in Memphis, please inform Thom that you don't decide to make BBQ anything "today". It takes weeks of planning and days of preparation

If you seek real BBQ and don't want to travel to God's country, try overnight delivery from any of these:

Rendevous/Memphis: www.hogsfly.com
Corky's/Memphis: www.corkysbbq.com
Dreamland/Tuscaloosa www.dreamlandbbq.com

PS: Watch out for the counterfeits from Kansas City...KC doesn't know BBQ

LOL, Mr Silver. Awesome post...

Uh.. so which one of those do you recommend?

I am fortunate in that I've got a local Louisiana BBQ place that slow smokes their stuff. Oh MAN their BBQ is good. and I say this when I typically don't really like BBQ.. or at least around here (near where V is). Ribs are my fave here.. another one of those items i typically don't like.


V- if you and THom are down my way.. go to: http://www.unclefranksbbq.com/
I like the ribs. Not really getting the beef brisket thing. Seems too dry to me.. but a good beer (gordon's), their piles of ribs, some of their cajun corn and their mess of greens.. I'm a happy camper. ) Well, ok.. maybe another beer.

Use Corky's dry rub for the grill and Sweet Baby Ray's for the sauce.

Sorry. Corky's Sauce is good but it's been shoved to the back of the shelf for Sweet Baby Ray's

Dry rub is the only way to go.

I dunno, I'm thinking an AV meeting at Uncle Franks BBQ may be in order.

[Veronica]

I made my own dry rub and I'll be making my own sauce using root beer as a base. First direction - reduce two liters of root beer to a cup.

I haven't been to the Rendevous in a long while. True that you can't decide just to make pulled pork in one day unless you've already dug the pit. But even then you need a good 24 hours just for the cooking.

[dingster1]

Got slaw with that pulled pork?? And some Frank's hot sauce????

[roguedog]

Snap... oh I dunno.. sounds like SK is volunteering to host

And besides I've always wanted to try the diff BBQs.. the whole dry rub vs other types...

[Veronica]

Yummmmm.... pretty tasty.

I think I'll be eating pulled pork for the rest of the week.

MMM.... We went to Memphis for my birthday and hit Rendevous. I went for the famous ribs and was very impressed. Of course Texas barbeque is just a different animal all together. We know our brisket down here!

*pout*

I miss BBQ! I saw this thread and my mouth started to water (its only 745am!!).

Have some BBQ for me, I'll have some sushi for you (its just not a fair trade... )

[Running Mommy]

I must say, now I have a hankerin for Jim and Nicks!! Oh MAN is that some good que!! Best lemon icebox pie in the greater B'ham area IMO. I know there are probably more "authentic" que places, but I just LOVE Jim and Nicks! It's the first place I go after I land. Our friends out there Know the drill! LOL
Actually whenever I go back there it becomes a tour of bbq joints!

Hmmm... Maybe THAT will be my reward when I finish IM next week. A quick trip down south!!

[crazycanuck]

I'm a bit lost..does this mean that Louisana has the best bbq'd beef in the USA.

Can ya help this loverly foreign chick?
