    :rolleyes:

    Sauce! The fact that you even need it shows its inferior quality. If you need a sauce to go with the meat, there's something wrong with the meat.

    Mexican food might qualify, Whole beans vs mashed Refried, but that's kind of weak.

    I've eaten bbq in places from one end of this country to the other and each one of them served both ribs and beans.

    You mustn't get out much.

    I saw a documentery on PBS about the regional differences in hotdog stands across the states, it was really interesting. The narrator traveled around hiting all sorts of different places eating the different styles of hotdogs and would interview the locals about what they thought the best type was (obviously they all thought the one local to them was :)).I can't remember the name of it though, if anyone knows what I am talking about and could help me out that would be great as I would not mind watching it again.

    I just don't think it's very good.:)

    wow, I didn't think I could find something more obnoxious than a music snob, but now I think I found it.

    Yeah, but that was one of his least objectionable posts. Saying "yeah, I don't like it" and "real bbq places don't serve ribs" are two entirely different universes of snobbery.

    Cracks me up.

    Tex-mex vs. New Mexican

    I prefer New Mexican, but Tex-Mex is fine. California Mexican food is just inferior Tex-Mex.

    Cincinnati chili? Only for philistines.

    Good lord, you people are ridiculous. My first post was mainly in jest, since in Texas, those are basically the two main food "rivalries" that we really hang our hat on. I was just standing up for my home-state, that's all.

    It's your loss that you're not eating the best kind:D

    You are so wrong it is ridicuous. Do you even know what the origin of the word is?

    When Columbus landed on Hispanola, he found the natives smoking meat and fish on green wooden lattices built over smoldering bone coals. The natives called this way of cooking Boucan The Spaniards decided to change it to barbacoa. On his next journey from Spain, Columbus decided to bring som pigs with him and soon there was more boucan/barbacoa than you could shake a stick at.

    Actually I had yummy bbq in Texas (brisket and sausage at Railhead in Ft Worth) twice in the last two weeks. I imagine I'll have it again before I finally get the hell out of this state in the couple three days.

    There's actually some controversy over the actual origin of the word "barbeque" but the barbacoa connection is the one that makes the most sense to me.

    i'm sorry, but it isn't chili unless you have at least two different kinds of beans

    what you are enjoying is ground beef soup or coney island chilidog sauce

    Wrong. A true chili has no beans in it.

    Similar concept, but IIRC Steak n' Shake uses regular chili, not Cincinnati chili.
