Most of the Texans I know will tell you no place comes even close to Texas for BBQ and Chili. Welllllllll, I have to beg to differ. Where are the pix from the Texas HAMB BBQ? The BBQ and Chili crown now reside in Southern California. It will stay here too.
Bring it on. Best of four meats. Chicken, Ribs, Pork Shoulder or Butt and being Texas of course Brisket. Would you like to compete on side too? Sauce? Rub? Load your shit up ad come on down. I will go one on one with you for $500 cash. Might be able to find a show to do it at too if you accept the response to your trash talking. Ues whatever rule book you wish to abide by or we can go outlaw I'll let you name it.
California Barbeque? BAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA, man this guy is a riot. I didn't realize you could grill an avacado...
I mean a HAMB BBQ. First you have to have a HAMB BBQ. When you establish a winner, then you'll have something to bring to the table. See the many So Cal HAMB BBQ threads. While I know my Hydrazine Flash Chili can kick any Texas Chili's ass, you Texans need to have a BBQ for your local HAMBers. Mainly, I meant for you to get a HAMB BBQ together. As far as brisket goes, Texas BBQ is the hands down best. Memphis will kick all our asses with pork ribs. I think California can't be beat for the way we smoke and sauce yardbird. But as far as the kind of chili people eat, MINE will dominate and humiliate any of that "Chili Cook Off" crap. I learned from a great Texan, Carroll Shelby. Can't get much more authentic than Carroll. And I've seriously hot roddered his version with California FRESH Habaneros and cilantro and the finest XX beer. Texans are supposed to be famous for driving a considerable distance to eat BBQ and chili and go to car shows and rod runs. But our own Dante (low-springs here on the HAMB) put together a great HAMB BBQ, at a beautiful California beach. Nice turn out of cars and people. Tri Tip, chicken, Messican food and all. Let's see you Texas HAMBers try to do it better. We didn't have a HAMB meet up at an established car shoe, race or rad run. We had a stand alone HAMB deal. It was FUN, FUN, FUN!! Are you Texans going to BS about it or do it and throw up some pix for us to see what ya got?? For what it's worth, I love Texas dry rubs and wet mops, mesquite smoke and spicy sauce. Shiner Bock ain't too bad either. And that Celis brewery, in Austin makes a Belgium Wit that flat out rocks! But you guys need to do a HAMB BBQ or we're gonna keep messin' with Texas.
You're crazy Ryan. Come up here to Fort Worth and I'll take you by the Smoke Pit... you'll forget all about that stuff. I never cared for sweet BBQ sauce anyway. Nor do I like the Carolina style, pulled pork with a dob of cole slaw on top... Phil, how's the chicken done in CA that makes it so great? I spent a few months there last year and all I had that was GREAT was Mexican food, and the char-grilled burgers that I found at every street corner in soCal. Damn I'm hungry now.
You ever had the smoked turkeys at that little BBQ joint on 290 in DS? They're supposed to be real good. It's the place next to the bar at Nutty Brown. It's the one thing I didn't get a chance to hit-up when I was there.
That is true, what you left out is that Carolina style tomato-based knocks the shit out of that KC Masterpiece stuff you love. PS - BBQ to a Californicater is hot dogs over a gas grill... with mango salsa on top or some other fruity gayness....
Grill an avocado? Dig this! Take a look at our California HAMB BBQ. Where's yours?? Didn't think ya'll had anything. I bet you get pretty quiet when you're asked to put up, huh? Southern California is the HAMB BBQ capital of the WORLD, get used to hearing it. Low-springs organized this in about three weeks. You have time to have a Texas HAMB BBQ before the weather turns shitty. I know ya'll have the cooks and the cars, but I know how my fine Lone Star pals like to talk and not do. Since I know that Texans like to tell the rest of us how much better they do everything and I know how much they hate to shut up about it, here's where the rubber hits the road. If ya'll don't out do us, then all those Okies are right about ya'll. Yup, that was a challenge. Let's see what ya got. CHILI Phil. Master chili chef and shit disturber.
Bluff. You make me laugh. Bring it on. Same offer to you. Oh and you never put sauce on the meat either. If you can't eat it right off the smoker it is dog food.
Hey, hey wait a minute, where's this sauce made? New York City.... "NEW YORK CITY"! "Southern California is the HAMB BBQ capital if the World", just ask the nuns we partied with!
haha, EGO SUM PAPA.. or IAM THE POPE actually, its on the TV...food network... Kansas apparently IS the bbq capital
I got a yard full of cars and a smoker right next to them. I live the dream,and if you still disagree don't forget were allowed to carry guns.
Well all I know for sure is I really like that BBQ sauce called "Cattlemen's Barbecue Sauce", out of Springfield, Missouri. That may be what they are using in the Kansas City area. If it is - then the fellas over in Texas need to give it a try (after all, it may have been made by a wandering Texan)..........Gary 4T950 Chevy Guy
Stubbs in Austin, great food and music. Im sorry Texas has the upper hand, plus who likes tofu bar b que? grossss. (has a nice ring to it though)
In the Carolinas there are two pork BBQ schools of thought--tomato based sauce and vinegar based sauce. I and my comrades subscribe to the vinegar based sauce clan. On November 10th we cook 150 pork shoulders and hams -we start at 6 pm-ish and take them off the WOOD FIRED cookers around 9 in the morning. Then the meat is pulled off the bone and hand chopped -after this phase the meat is mixed with the sauce. I make no claims as to who is the best and all that BS-but I invite any HAMB member in the nation to attend this celebration of pork. I will pay the dinner cost(about 6 bucks) of any HAMB member who doesn't like our BBQ after trying it. PM me for directions if interested- you can also drink beer and watch the cooking process if you like. Peace out- Reece
texas might have chili, and i can agree that memphis has ribs...but louisiana has the best all around food in the u.s. ! i mean that! and this doesn't have a thing to do with all of the hurricane stuff and feelin bad for them....we have been going to louisiana once a year for the past 5 years and hands down...they got us all beat!
Stop the trash talkin! CJ's in Bryan,Texas - best brisket ever....best coleslaw too. For the best pork ribs.... ya gotta come to my house ...of course my smoked fajitas or crawfish boil might hurt you too! Floresville, Texas makes the best damn sausage. You would have to go to Wisconsin for better So when is the HAMB BBQ/chili cook-off/ crawfish boil? axle - you ain't a lier!
Stubbs. Period no question. Cattlemans is a good base sauce to work with as well a local northerly brand called Ken Davis real good flavor and is an excellent base to work with. Mix all Stubbs flavors in proprietary combination with a few little extras and it will make all of the girls panties come right off all on their own. You can make your own sauce but it is a genuine pain in the ass and very time consuming. Much easier to buy one close to what you like and spice it accordingly. Ryan has a good point on KC and you can replicate that style pretty easy if you can follow good direction and have patience. You can even do great BBQ on a cheap grill if you like to take your time for great food. Oh and I will even up the play and do the sacraligious by cooking all of mine on a gas grill if your still skeert.
what you left out is that Carolina style tomato-based knocks the shit out of that KC Masterpiece stuff you love. Good grief, that eastern crap is nothin' but vinegar with a dollop of ketchup.
Well yes, that's all very nice but I started this food fight and nobody has stepped up to start a HAMB BBQ. Ain't skeered are ya? Really all I wanted to do was stimulate HAMB BBQs somewhere other than Cali. I guess we ARE the true rulers. I guess what ya'll need to do is come on out to the next California HAMB BBQ. I'll throw a couple of avocados on the gas grill for you guys. Serve it up with some tasty fruit salsa and some of that New York City salsa you Texas boys love so much. Git a rope! You sure TALK a good HAMB BBQ, but you're a bunch of stay at home mommies. We coastal elites had a BLAST! You really must try it. Chili Phil, arbiter of good taste and professional shit disturber.
I have to agree with Chili. He didn't ask WHERE in Texas has the best food, he said saddle up boys, it's time to have a HAMB bbq! Shoot low Hoss, he's riding a Shetland. Chili, I think the Aussies surpass the Texans on bbq's........but they'll never out rock Southern Cali! xxx Brandy
I gotta throw in my 2 cents for KC-style BBQ. Man, you can't go anywhere around here and not get good Q. Gates, Haywards, Arthur Bryant's, Smokestack, Jack Stack, and on, and on, and on. Of course, Cooper's down in Llano is mighty fine eating, too! When my folks lived down the road a ways on Lake Buchanan, Cooper's was a regular destination whenever we visited.
I think I'll do everyone a favor and stay outa this one... There are whole sections of California that are still shitting fire from the last time I cooked chile...
