Western BBQ Recommendation? Fenderputty Signal.
- Page 1 of 1
I've yet to try non-Asian BBQ. Like those ribs with BBQ sauce and whatever is served. Like the Australian/American, and whatever European style if Europeans eat BBQ? Not burger or bratwurst or hackbraten? I've had kebabs and mediterranean and stuff so mainly this kind of BBQ.
Any vegetables dishes?
Smoked foods too? I've only had smoked fish and eggs. I want to try some good smoked BBQ.
Any recommended restaurants and kinds of BBQ? I'm not too picky. Is it served with a BBQ sauce or mustard more often?
Thank you in advance.

It's called southern bbq. It comes from the American south. Thanks to shows like BBQ pitmasters and youtube videos dedicated to bbq, it has been spreading more across the US and even europe and australia. You can try to find a restaurant near you that serves up good bbq, but if it's not available you should make your own. All you need is a charcoal grill and a few wood chips. Buy some ribs and smoke them up low and slow for 4-5 hours. Check out AmazingRibs.com and the BBQ pit boys on youtube for step by step instructions.
I have an electric smoker. It's a ton easier than and actual smoker and the results are the same IMO. I've smoked Turkey, Pork Sholder, Tri Tip (specifically Californian), Ribs and fish. My favorite is the pork shoulder, Pork ribs and the Turkey honestly. I've smoked a turkey for thanksgiving and it came out fantastic. Super moist and flavorful.
You can use a gas grill to get a good BBQ flavor too. Buy some wood chips and soak them. Wrap them in foil and poke some holes in the foil. Smoke will develop just like in a smoker. When slow cooking on a gas grill you want to create convection and indirect heat. So if you have three burners you turn the two sides on and leave the middle off placing the meat in the middle. If you have 4 burners you turn the left most 2 on and leave the right side off. Similar with two burners.
We have some pretty good BBQ here in Cali. I've had some good stuff in Texas. It can be regional though. Virginia style BBQ is more tangy with mustard and vinegar based sauces. Texas and other southern states use sweeter molasses based sauces. There's dry rubs too.
Where are you located again?

Oh the response is two months late but I went to a smoked meats shop late November and they served very big sandwiches with freshly smoked and prepared beef brisket and BBQ every day. So they smoke the brisket and bacon and use that for sandwich on tiger bread with really good bbq sauce.
It was a lot of meat and it was a lot of food... It was good tho I would like to eat more once in a while since smoking takes a while and I don't think I could eat that much meat so often.
any suggestion for something other than beef brisket or bacon and other kinds of meat? Like smoked tofu or smoked vegetable and other forms of food other than meat?
I'm in Berkeley for school. I don't know if sausage/weiner/bratwurst is considered bbq but there is a good place for that here.

I am surprised this finally got some response 2 month later but thank you for the recommendation I would like to find more.
If you don't get burnt ends, you're making a huge mistake.
There are four major styles of BBQ. Memphis is pork centric and specializes in dry rub ribs. Typically their sauce is vinegar based. Texas is beef driven and often has some Mexican influence. It's rancher food. Sauce bases vary down there. The Carolinas style are pretty pork centric and use mustard and vinegar based yellowish looking sauce. The last is Kansas City, which in my experience does every kind of meat and the sauce there is tomato based and sweeter. This style of sauce is typically the most common in supermarkets and fast food restaurant all over the country. These lines are all a lot more blurred than they used to be though thanks to the Internet and the booming general popularity of BBQ . You can find tomato base sauce in Memphis these days.
Stuff I like:
The pit beans at American BBQ places are always good. Coleslaw is controversial but I like a good one. Potato salad (mustard not mayo) is a classic. Mac and cheese is heavy with all these smoked meats but some places have utterly amazing ones. Dry rub ribs are amazing. Pulled pork sandwiches with slaw or pickles are amazing weekend lunches. To me, the pinnacle of barbecue skill is.... Brisket. You can slow cook a pig and there's decent margin of error but a perfect brisket with a proper crust thats the proper amount of juicy takes master skill. If you're with a group and really hungry get a sausage and cheese plate if they have them. This is one of my favorites. Smoked kielbasa, pickles, and Cheddar dusted with some dry rub mix 👌. Smoked chicken and chicken wings can be amazing too.

I didn realize this thread was old haha. Missed it.
I've not tried smokes pastrami :0
It's not considered BBQ in the states unless it's smoked it seems. Grilled veggies are my favorite though.
Pulled pork shoulder is still my fave.
Do they have a Lucile's BBQ near Berkeley? It's decent and has a bunch of the styles.

I don't like the arguing over what is and isnt "REAL" barbecue either, its such a tired debate, but yeah to me i say bbq when its "low and slow" ie cooked for a long time at lower temperatures, and grilling is "hot and fast". Smoked pastrami is fire. There's this one place near me that does bbq reubens and bbq cuban sandwiches. Sinfully good.
